Incarcerated Jamaican Reggae Superstar Buju Banton reached out to his fans in a deep message where he tells to them to stay strong despite all the negative things happening around them.
The 43-year-old Grammy-winning reggae and international reggae music ambassador, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence.
While his trial has been shadowed with a lot of controversy, he should finally be free in 2018, after he was recently granted a small reprieve with his sentence by U.S. authorities, that reduced his prison sentence by just two months.
Buju Banton fans have been making a lot of noise and petitions to help Buju be free and they never stopped asking for Buju to be released.
It seems like Buju Banton, real name Mark Myrie, touched by the news of death and suffering coming from all over the world and also Jamaica, felt the need to uplift and bring some light in these days of darkness and bad news non stop.
Buju Banton wrote:
“Tell my fans do not be distracted by all the things that are taking place around them because it is designed to throw them off kilter, to make moral decadence even more widespread than it already is, and plunge people into a state of darkness,” Banton said. “They’re trying to reverse the progress that we have made over the years through the music. And now the music is meaningless… And therefore, the music is suffering. The people are suffering. Sadness and gloom is prevailing. It’s widespread. But be patient. Because suffering may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
