Busy Signal who was extradited to the US a week ago, has pleaded not guilty to one count of failure to appear in court.
The Jamaican artist, real name Glendale Gordon, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of absconding bail in his ongoing case in Minneapolis, USAÂ on Monday, during a hearing, before the presiding judge ordered him detained, pending trial.

Busy Signal was charged with two drug counts in 2002, but left Minnesota before his trial. The popular artist had been slapped with charges related to cocaine trafficking in February 2002. He could face up to five years in prison if convicted.
Busy Signal was arrested and detained about a month ago upon his return in Kingston Jamaica from an European short tour.
He was detained by members of the Fugitive Apprehension Team at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston after being deported from the United Kingdom, where he was initially arrested after being suspected of using false documentation. He’s currently not being prosecuted on the cocaine charges.
