Bro buju made a wrong move but you are making it sound worse it was a case of entrapment. Buju was approached by a columbian guy who befriended him and ask Buju if he had any links because he wanted to buy some coke. Buju linked him up with two guys in miami who sold that stuff and he showed up with the columbian guy at the first meeting to introduce them, that is when he made the mistake to taste it. After that he was out of the picture when the purchase was made but got arrested, turned out that his columbian friend worked for the feds and was paid 50k for the conviction of Buju and all this time the feds was following and recording everything. Because he claimed that he was entrapped and refuse to take a plea deal he was given 10 years while the drug dealers got 3 years and came out in two.
@spoonsracing it's just envy. They're not walking in that man shoes. I don't understand how a man older than 25 still sit and chat bout people and their levity. Well I know. They haven't been exposed as yet.
I am afraid u do not understand why we no longer rate him. Buju for all intent and purposes became a rastafari(somewhat like pastor) and that position made him a moral leader in our community. He sang songs promoting weed over coke, songs against pedophilia, songs about rainbow people etc. but was caught tasting and passing coke as "good coke". Him going to prison doesn't excuse that he broke the code of being a faith/moral leader. How a man who is tasting and selling coke is going to sing songs against people who do wrongs in society when he is just like them? How? He didn't have the humility to apologize to those who looked up to him and changed their lives because of him. Until then, he gets no respect from me. Him going to jail only paid for his crimes it doesn't fix his character.
Man dis Jamaica when he never apologized for his cocaine transgression. Real rasta don't deal with Coke. Fuck him a try sell Coke fah? Like really why? He did the time, he was guilty, he was on video getting caught red handed...just say sorry Jamaica I fucked up. Rasta message but not rasta actions. Shame
The man without sin caste the first stone. The man do the crime and done his time, he choose not to say anything on the matter. What do want to hear him say? At least he did not waste his time in prison going on social media making a nuisance of himself.
Buju does not need to give anyone any explanations. He is human, and no human being is perfect. He paid for his crime, and so now, moving forward, his purpose is to give us music. Music is therapy, so maybe by listening to his music that he puts out with an open mind and heart, you may get to hear his testimony that you seek Gargamel's way, not yours.
I share the same sentiments about Buju but am confused hearing it from you because you are one of Vibes Cartel biggest fan , there’s no wrong Cartel can do for you so this is very bias , Cartel is one of Jamaica’s worst human being and you worship him bro . This is the same moral decay you talk about but you pick and choose who you want to put in that box.
So, you rate Bob Marley and Bob Marley used to sniff! Yuh, rate vybz kartel, and he's convicted of dashing weh someone! Make it make sense! Buju does a lot for people! Do you know how much Buju does for people on a daily basis everyday people are at Buju Studio for help! Wiz I rate you, but sometimes when I listen to you, you sound like a politician that is out of touch. You need to get out more bro
Bredda you contradicted yourself this ENTIRE video. You mention that Kartel never say him a “role model” but when did Buju ever say he is a “role model”? ALL artists have ppl that look up to them and follow what they do btw. And why must he take “Accountability” for his mistakes and set a better example through doing interviews to clear up tings when Kartel is still in prison releasing content in his music like Violence (with murder charges), Promoting Bleaching, and etc? Buju is a human being and we all make mistakes. He aint God! The only ppl that need to take accountability and apologize are R. Kelly & Vybz Kartel as their situation is WORST than Cocaine Conviction. This video release at a TERRIBLE time when the man is selling out big time venue shows in the US for over 10years. Still love & respect tho, Wiz! ✊🏾
yup...but i find that people who do mild things tend to get folks dragging them continuously...the folks who do serious things, people will get mad initially at and then they ignore quickly.
Maybe he has been like this to be less controversial in the media. Who knows, maybe that has helped him to get back his visa. Valid opinion nonetheless, but can be seen as harsh. Everyone deals with difficult situations differently. It’s only fair to give him some grace.
Can't take nobody serious who can criticise Buju to this level... But kartel can't do no wrong in their eyes. Why people who don't like rasta but hold rasta to higher standard than everybody.
How do you know that he is correct? An opinion is not a fact. Jamaicans are too badmind and hateful on each other. It seems like the worst slaves came to jamaica. That is why we cannot grow as a people and all the other nations gone ahead of us. Oonu have too much crabs in a barrel syndrome.
I remember everybody and dem mother petitioning for his innocence… along with the musical fraternity (Beres, Sizzla, Stephan Marley, Lady G, etc.) and myself. Video release and come fi find out! big up Buju still, I enjoy his music.
Wiz 100% right but you can't give constructive criticism in Jamaica, they will say you badmind. Buju out here acting like dancehall Nelson Mandela. He created a brand with moral authority then go to jail for something morally demeaning, fight against politicians then turn up supporting a political party. The man moving like a money grubbing hypocrite out here.

Buju Benton already paid for the crime that they say he committed, I don’t think Buju Benton owes anyone any apology as far as I know no one is perfect the man is just trying to move forward with his life,we Jamaican people don’t have no respect for our icons we always trying to find ways to tearing them down,
Truth! Nuff people feel the same way and it is not hating. It is discernment. Accountability ! And if him share and address the matter as you say, it would be very enlightening. Plenty people would tek lesson and shared experience and a learning experience.
The lesson from this is, just enjoy yhe music and dont look up to these entertainers and public figures as moral compass. Most of them are hypocrits and are just doing this for the money 💰💰

Throwing money away on stage is not giving back to those who really need it, do you know that buju has a home for homeless children ,those are in need people in need can't afford concerts, hey a love waz
I don’t understand you brethren, you did a video a big up Spice for apologizing to Naro over a decade later for disrespecting him publicly because she is promoting her album with garbage songs that she had been putting out of years and she realized she lost the support of the Jamaican people because of her dis-graceful behavior as you labeled it, and rightfully so. Yet, you made a video like this about Buju. Buju is a man, why are you looking for perfection in an imperfect human being. We all do wrongs, small or large. The same grace you gave to Spice you should also give to your brother. Did you ever did any research on Buju to find out what led him to go down that path? you should, then you would understand that when a man is desperate and dem back is against the wall, they will deviate from their true self and do things that will dishonor themselves to survive. Don’t be so quick to judge a man unless you were in their shoes facing the same circumstances, you yourself don’t know what you would do to survive and feed your family. Bless up.
I'm not judging. I literally said it in the video. I want Buju to embrace it and use it as a teaching opportunity so others don't walk his path. Pretending like it didn't happen is a weak move.
So what about your artist world boss? Are you not disappointed with him as well?Is he different from Buju? i definitely know that you support world boss whether he's innocent or not!
@@jaradiotvyou need to check yourself. Are you without sin? You are not without sin. Only Jesus Christ is prefect. So, so why are you casting stone on the man. It is his choice whether he wants to speak on the topic now or later. Whether he wants to write his experience in a book or pur it behind him.. He chose not to let the situation defines who he is. What is so wrong with that? I know you are not righteous. None of us is. So let the man breathe and live his life the way he wants to live it. Go get a life. Take the time out to speak about yourself, your woman and children and your future endeavors. Just leave Buju alone.
I respect ur opinion. Buju dont owe us any explanation. Buju give back and her served his time. Separate the man from his craft. Who to tell he wont give his testimony...he will do it on his time.
Nonsense! A Rastafarian that claimed the principles of Rastafari, then to casually lick cocaine to test it potency… Nah, he ACCUSTOMED to deal with the white devil powder! Buju Banton has taken advantage of the people’s love and respect for him, before he became a known coke head. THAT is my issue with Buju Banton. Buju Banton should have returned to the people, spoken to the people, addressed the coke head issue in the room, and asked for forgiveness. No! He proceeded as though he was Nelson Mandela being released from prison! I can no longer listen to Buju Banton’s music without judgment. I see a Rastafarian willingly tasting cocaine! FIRE PUN DAT! And to think that Babylon set him up!! Baju is a damn fake-a$$ 1diot!
@jaradiotv apologize to the fans or apologize to fans like you? He knows what he did (or didn't do). We know what we saw. Doesn't make it right but he did his time. A lot of time. He should apologize to his family. He has reconnected with his true fans who have seemingly forgiven him. That's on them. Leave it alone bro.
Some countries have restrictions on freedom of speech and people who have positive constructive criticism but tear down with this duncebat comment BADMIND!!! Jamaica is a Christian country and some people who have influence must practice morality no matter what!! Wiz continue do the right thing
Respect for that. We have to make morality cool again. It is something that has rapidly depleted from our society. All of a sudden, anything goes and is celebrated.
You need to have your own moral compass for yourself and kids. Buju is not God. Go find God and let him direct your path. You can bet all of you talking about moral compass not living a righteous life for your kids. The man did not say he is Jesus Christ. He is man and can sin and fall short of the glory of God just like you and me. Oonu too badmind and love behave like crabs in a barrel syndrome. Jamaicans love to tear down each other too much. Uplift the man and wish him well. What he did should not defines his legacy. Go find yuh pickney dem all which part dem de and Confess your sins to dem. Leave the man alone and shut your negative mouth up.
Big bro u reaching right now .. this man took accountability and served time for his crime. Nuff tings unno nuh see and par wid ppl with secrets stop bro..man rate you.
The man straight up wrote a reggae song about coke destroying JA and then turned around and tried to cop lbs of coke. Biggest hypocrite in Reggae, and that’s saying something, cuz there’s a whole lot of hypocrites in Reggae. Makes the whole concept look shaky. Most Reggae artists can’t even agree and live by their own lyrics. You’re right, for him to not address the elephant in the room is disgusting. But it’s also disgusting that people look at Reggae artists as some kind of beacon of light. People look in all the wrong places for God. Big up for being the only public commentator willing to touch this topic. I think it’s worse than what you describe still, but you covered the most crucial points.
Your Judgement flawed bro. Are you saying that you hold buju to a higher standard than a politician ? Wizz really ? I think you mixing up influence with leadership. Buju like most dancehall artists are not leaders they may be influencers but certainly not leaders in the true sense of leadership. WIzz There is a thin line between leadership and influence. Whilst one concept ( leadership ) needs the other ( Influence ) to be operational. Influence does not need leadership to be effective . Pree on that Wizz. Buju owes no one an explanation bro ..we can debate this So you rate flippa that give out drugs money but sideline buju because him no disclose his case.?..🤔🤔
Mi hear Buju a bun politics and politicians.... an little afta.... him ina orange shirt pon podium a endorse politician.... right now fi me... is him music them mi rate.... him sell out quietly....
Bro at the 4:55 mark you lost me, i came across your page and respect the stuff you guys were doing but this video feels like you looking for extra content just to put out that makes no sense. No man is perfect and when the man is ready to speak he will and if he doesn't thats on him
Really, bro.... man pay di time fi him crime. He did that by himself. If and when he chooses to come and say what he went through, it is his business, and it's on his timing. Let's put personal feelings aside from the greatness of these musicians.
You saw a video and concluded it was drugs, but were you there to test it and confirm what he put in his mouth was drugs? How many people in America have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned? We are living in a world now where we start to believe everything we see on a video
@@jaradiotv The Central Park Five were wrongfully convicted of a crime and served sentences ranging from five to thirteen years before their exoneration, which officially absolved them of any blame or fault. So, what you are saying is that once a person is convicted, they are considered guilty, even though there are instances where wrongful convictions occur and the person is later found to be innocent.
We have to do a test to confirm? I guess he was speaking in code, time and time on the phone with those guys and going to a hideout warehouse at all hours of the night to look at confection sugar? 😂
@@REALVIBESTV Then you are making my point. He needs to speak up, what does his silence tell you? An innocent man would be writing a book by now telling his story.
@@jaradiotv He doesn't need to discuss what happened if he chooses not to. It's important to remember that these individuals are entertainers who deserve privacy, just like everyone else. You became fans of his music, not his personal life. Many of you are so obsessed with these artists that you feel entitled to know every detail about their private lives. What goes on in your home do you bring it to UA-cam and share it with your subscribers and viewers? Which you shouldn't because there limit to everything in life
I probably don’t feel the disappointment you’re feeling because I feel them set up Buju call it denial 🤷♀️ Also I’ve heard a gentleman I knew say it’s wide knowledge that apparently he uses but 🤷♀️
For you to compare a 17 year old teen lying about his image to create traction, to an elder that take on the image of a prophet, and turn around dabbling, in stuff that hurts our communities and killing off our black brothers is wild, Mi nuh know weh Alkaline do to yuh youth…. But watch this.. alkaline did com out and explain why him lie , low the detta boss nuh man lol , but on a real thing wiz I do agree with you on the buju part , my dad cried tears when he fined out what buju did , the man seh ( f this I am going to church )and turn Christian… but nun the less buju should have give his fans that accountability…
You’re not the only one who think that way because I have some friends who have the same mindset and thought process as you. Your argument is valid & i wldnt call it a tear down. I went to one of his shows in nyc and I must say I fully enjoyed the entire performance 🎭. This was the first I c him performed live as a Rasta
Let him who sin not cast the fist stone, we sin every day, and God forgive us, black people always tearing down each other, the man didn't kill or rape nobody, what happens between him and his kids, that's between him and themselves, they will talk to each other again, when i lost respect for someone, I don't even mention that person name, if he feels like talk about his drugs conviction it's his business, talk or no talk, you'll condemn him already, wicked and evil demon can't stop the lord anointed, guidance and protection buju 🔥 ❤️ 🇯🇲 🙏🏼
What do you mean no accountability? Man went to prison in the US no worse situation than that. Buju is human there was a time when the white powder wasn't illegal in the world. Leave him alone, this isn't the same thing, buju was setup entrapment stuff not the same situation.
😂 Listen BUJU never hurt any of you so why you taking it personally, he can only say sorry to his family if they care one way or another. He is Jamaican greatest artist like Bob Jimmy Berris any many more, live the King alone. If I could of got away and made a money maybe I would do the same. But the system setup BUJU in the first place. He never tapped kill or hurt another human being, so live our black King of Bashment, roots reggae alone. There are hundreds that have done ten time's worst, and the lot of you love them. Big up BUJU BANTON.❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇯🇲🧐
My gosh !!! You obviously not too bright. 1. "There are hundreds that have done ten........ " -- but they are not acting like they are the voice of the people and singing righteousness and unity. 2. " BUJU never hurt any of you..." Are you f*cking serious ? Do you know the devastation Crack/Cocaine does to families. Do you ? To this day me see it. When I drive pass certain parks in a NJ it in plain sight. Yes him got set up. Authorities do not just randomly "set up " people. They have to have justification. SMFH
First be believe then we know , we should be ready and prepared for the " knowing " deception is natural in life , u never know until u know , your disappointment is linked to your expectations, the less we expect of people the more we accept them as humans .
Gargamel flexing a lil different. No compromise will be respected thats just life. Those original tunes like "Circumstances", "While Im Living", "Destiny", were real tunes that put you in a positive meds
We all suffer with the expectations syndrome. And more often than not reality isn't as we expect it to be. As Garnett Silk said a man is just a man. Capable of anything at any time. Therefore, we all have to learn how to give ourselves and others a break at times. And who knows perhaps throughout the passage of time the Gargamel might find it possible to live up to our expectations. Until then don't let the character of the messenger distract you from receiving the message.
Stop rate Buju when him come out and talk about how him denounce the song “boom bye bye.” Yet still… yet still him nah denounce the song him sing “inform fi dead”. Nah denounce “affi get you body pon gun point” kmt
If I was insecure I wouldn't make a video about a living legend. I am actively doing what you claim I should do. I have higher standards so my opinions won't be the popular one.
But Boss This kinda sounds like u resent and hate the guy more than anything else bro . And u keep on saying ur not trying to tear down his legacy but it seems like you are tbh … everybody makes mistakes fam , he also paid for it , he doesn’t need to apologize to no one but himself , he wasn’t influencing society to do drugs , he Lowkey did it on his own so what’s the point here ? He wasn’t even acting as no role model to me , people themselves just view him as that just like any other artists in the same caliber … we are both HUGE fans of Vybz kartel- one of my fav , but how can u sit right putting down buju but still upholding kartel who was actually heard on those voice notes instructing to kill his friend over a gun ??? How do u sit right with those things but chastising someone who did sumn that negatively weighs in less on such a scale ??? I’m a fan of u bro , just pointing out the right things and not tryna be bias… bless up always. Also keep in mind that our greatest world leaders have deep dark secrets doing and committing wrongs behind closed doors.. so don’t be quick to judge ppl , we don’t truly know these ppl ..
You know how much people Buju Banton help, the man noh do tings fi clout and everything with camera, ask all your favorite artists what he do for them.
I can predict in the future that this social media and free speech thing is going to get a lot of people into trouble on their journey. When since people life because fi unuh problem

Yet, you made a video like this about Buju. Buju is a man, why are you looking for perfection in an imperfect human being. We all do wrongs, small or large. The same grace you gave to Spice you should also give to your brother. Did you ever did any research on Buju to find out what led him to go down that path? you should, then you would understand that when a man is desperate and dem back is against the wall, they will deviate from their true self and do things that will dishonor themselves to survive. Don’t be so quick to judge a man unless you were in their shoes facing the same circumstances, you yourself don’t know what you would do to survive and feed your family. Bless up.
I'm not judging. I literally said it in the video. I want Buju to embrace it and use it as a teaching opportunity so others don't walk his path. Pretending like it didn't happen is a weak move.
So what about your artist world boss? Are you not disappointed with him as well?Is he different from Buju? i definitely know that you support world boss whether he's innocent or not!
A man is just a man Bro.. Buju case goes way beyond that case..
LOLOL
YA RIGHT...NUFF UNU A MOVE LIKE DEMON JUST LIKE BUJU
Facts
That festival song that he won was for giving back to charity
Real talk bro you right
It's good to hear that you agree. I thought I was the only one a hold that kinda medz.
@@jaradiotvyou need to check yourself. Are you without sin? You are not without sin. Only Jesus Christ is prefect. So, so why are you casting stone on the man. It is his choice whether he wants to speak on the topic now or later. Whether he wants to write his experience in a book or pur it behind him.. He chose not to let the situation defines who he is. What is so wrong with that? I know you are not righteous. None of us is. So let the man breathe and live his life the way he wants to live it. Go get a life. Take the time out to speak about yourself, your woman and children and your future endeavors. Just leave Buju alone.
I respect ur opinion. Buju dont owe us any explanation. Buju give back and her served his time. Separate the man from his craft. Who to tell he wont give his testimony...he will do it on his time.
Nonsense! A Rastafarian that claimed the principles of Rastafari, then to casually lick cocaine to test it potency… Nah, he ACCUSTOMED to deal with the white devil powder!
Buju Banton has taken advantage of the people’s love and respect for him, before he became a known coke head. THAT is my issue with Buju Banton.
Buju Banton should have returned to the people, spoken to the people, addressed the coke head issue in the room, and asked for forgiveness. No! He proceeded as though he was Nelson Mandela being released from prison!
I can no longer listen to Buju Banton’s music without judgment. I see a Rastafarian willingly tasting cocaine! FIRE PUN DAT! And to think that Babylon set him up!! Baju is a damn fake-a$$ 1diot!
You sound badminded of Buju Banton..leave the man alone...
GROW UP LITTLE GIRL.
BUJU IS A BIG SELL OUT AND COKEHEAD😂
Why didn’t you make this video before he did the performance, Buju owes you nothing, he does not have to do an interview!!!
I wholeheartedly agree with your view on Buju!
So good to hear that there's still people left out here with morals. Gotta apologize to the fans.
@jaradiotv apologize to the fans or apologize to fans like you? He knows what he did (or didn't do). We know what we saw. Doesn't make it right but he did his time. A lot of time. He should apologize to his family. He has reconnected with his true fans who have seemingly forgiven him. That's on them. Leave it alone bro.
First time I heard buju was a coke head was in 98. I couldn’t believe it. But after seeing that vid of him tasting the product 😂😂😂😂
Rasta and coke nuh mix. Stop condone foolishness
Some countries have restrictions on freedom of speech and people who have positive constructive criticism but tear down with this duncebat comment BADMIND!!! Jamaica is a Christian country and some people who have influence must practice morality no matter what!! Wiz continue do the right thing
Respect for that. We have to make morality cool again. It is something that has rapidly depleted from our society. All of a sudden, anything goes and is celebrated.
You need to have your own moral compass for yourself and kids. Buju is not God. Go find God and let him direct your path. You can bet all of you talking about moral compass not living a righteous life for your kids. The man did not say he is Jesus Christ. He is man and can sin and fall short of the glory of God just like you and me. Oonu too badmind and love behave like crabs in a barrel syndrome. Jamaicans love to tear down each other too much. Uplift the man and wish him well. What he did should not defines his legacy. Go find yuh pickney dem all which part dem de and Confess your sins to dem. Leave the man alone and shut your negative mouth up.
Big bro u reaching right now .. this man took accountability and served time for his crime. Nuff tings unno nuh see and par wid ppl with secrets stop bro..man rate you.
So how you still rate Vybz Kartel ?
I explained why in the video
Some people don't listen to the full video and comment
@@rickytan7609 Ricky Tan, what's good general 🙏🏾
Bcuz Kartel is the greatest dancehall artiste ever lived and Kartel has been in prison for over 10 yrs and still not found guilty... must rate him 😎👍🏾
@@jaradiotv here, see you still putting in the work bless up gwan do you thing 🙏🏾
I went to the show and I don't care about Buju's past. None a wi nuh perfect. Not even yuh.
There’s nothing to clear up. The man do him time
The man straight up wrote a reggae song about coke destroying JA and then turned around and tried to cop lbs of coke. Biggest hypocrite in Reggae, and that’s saying something, cuz there’s a whole lot of hypocrites in Reggae. Makes the whole concept look shaky. Most Reggae artists can’t even agree and live by their own lyrics. You’re right, for him to not address the elephant in the room is disgusting. But it’s also disgusting that people look at Reggae artists as some kind of beacon of light. People look in all the wrong places for God. Big up for being the only public commentator willing to touch this topic. I think it’s worse than what you describe still, but you covered the most crucial points.
What is wrong with you? Stop bringing up the man past. He has done his time.
Your Judgement flawed bro. Are you saying that you hold buju to a higher standard than a politician ? Wizz really ?
I think you mixing up influence with leadership. Buju like most dancehall artists are not leaders they may be influencers but certainly not leaders in the true sense of leadership.
WIzz There is a thin line between leadership and influence. Whilst one concept ( leadership ) needs the other ( Influence ) to be operational. Influence does not need leadership to be effective . Pree on that Wizz. Buju owes no one an explanation bro ..we can debate this
So you rate flippa that give out drugs money but sideline buju because him no disclose his case.?..🤔🤔
I cant stop respecting him. But it is what it is. He is human.
OF COURSE YOU RESPECT DRUGS DEALERS AND CRIMINALS...THAT IS ALL NUFF A YOU DEVILS CAN RELATE TO
Mi hear Buju a bun politics and politicians.... an little afta.... him ina orange shirt pon podium a endorse politician.... right now fi me... is him music them mi rate.... him sell out quietly....
Bro at the 4:55 mark you lost me, i came across your page and respect the stuff you guys were doing but this video feels like you looking for extra content just to put out that makes no sense. No man is perfect and when the man is ready to speak he will and if he doesn't thats on him
Really, bro.... man pay di time fi him crime. He did that by himself. If and when he chooses to come and say what he went through, it is his business, and it's on his timing. Let's put personal feelings aside from the greatness of these musicians.
Alkaline did a stunt to grow his platform so hiw dat become a problem
Stunt you called it? I call it lie
Me already see that you are a hater
Buju banton is so great..you can never change are convince no one
You saw a video and concluded it was drugs, but were you there to test it and confirm what he put in his mouth was drugs? How many people in America have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned? We are living in a world now where we start to believe everything we see on a video
I concluded it was drugs? His conviction concluded that. I didn't make up a lie on him.
@@jaradiotv
The Central Park Five were wrongfully convicted of a crime and served sentences ranging from five to thirteen years before their exoneration, which officially absolved them of any blame or fault. So, what you are saying is that once a person is convicted, they are considered guilty, even though there are instances where wrongful convictions occur and the person is later found to be innocent.
We have to do a test to confirm?
I guess he was speaking in code, time and time on the phone with those guys and going to a hideout warehouse at all hours of the night to look at confection sugar? 😂
@@REALVIBESTV Then you are making my point. He needs to speak up, what does his silence tell you? An innocent man would be writing a book by now telling his story.
@@jaradiotv He doesn't need to discuss what happened if he chooses not to. It's important to remember that these individuals are entertainers who deserve privacy, just like everyone else. You became fans of his music, not his personal life. Many of you are so obsessed with these artists that you feel entitled to know every detail about their private lives. What goes on in your home do you bring it to UA-cam and share it with your subscribers and viewers? Which you shouldn't because there limit to everything in life
I probably don’t feel the disappointment you’re feeling because I feel them set up Buju call it denial 🤷♀️ Also I’ve heard a gentleman I knew say it’s wide knowledge that apparently he uses but 🤷♀️
For you to compare a 17 year old teen lying about his image to create traction, to an elder that take on the image of a prophet, and turn around dabbling, in stuff that hurts our communities and killing off our black brothers is wild, Mi nuh know weh Alkaline do to yuh youth…. But watch this.. alkaline did com out and explain why him lie , low the detta boss nuh man lol , but on a real thing wiz I do agree with you on the buju part , my dad cried tears when he fined out what buju did , the man seh ( f this I am going to church )and turn Christian… but nun the less buju should have give his fans that accountability…
Not gonna speak on Buju because I don’t know about his personal life. Maybe Buju wants to leave the past in the past .
You’re not the only one who think that way because I have some friends who have the same mindset and thought process as you. Your argument is valid & i wldnt call it a tear down. I went to one of his shows in nyc and I must say I fully enjoyed the entire performance 🎭. This was the first I c him performed live as a Rasta
Listen missed his show july 13 14 wint miss it November 17 Barclay's in Brooklyn you can chat nothing changing his status one
Wiz I agree with you 1000 percent. Lost all the ratings for him after he tricked us all!
Facts, and my problem is forwarding from prison and acting like nothing happened.
Let him who sin not cast the fist stone, we sin every day, and God forgive us, black people always tearing down each other, the man didn't kill or rape nobody, what happens between him and his kids, that's between him and themselves, they will talk to each other again, when i lost respect for someone, I don't even mention that person name, if he feels like talk about his drugs conviction it's his business, talk or no talk, you'll condemn him already, wicked and evil demon can't stop the lord anointed, guidance and protection buju 🔥 ❤️ 🇯🇲 🙏🏼
What's crazy is you posted this and today I get a email saying Buju have an upcoming Toronto show. 😂
That's crazy indeed
What do you mean no accountability? Man went to prison in the US no worse situation than that. Buju is human there was a time when the white powder wasn't illegal in the world. Leave him alone, this isn't the same thing, buju was setup entrapment stuff not the same situation.
😂 Listen BUJU never hurt any of you so why you taking it personally, he can only say sorry to his family if they care one way or another. He is Jamaican greatest artist like Bob Jimmy Berris any many more, live the King alone. If I could of got away and made a money maybe I would do the same. But the system setup BUJU in the first place. He never tapped kill or hurt another human being, so live our black King of Bashment, roots reggae alone. There are hundreds that have done ten time's worst, and the lot of you love them. Big up BUJU BANTON.❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇯🇲🧐
My gosh !!! You obviously not too bright.
1. "There are hundreds that have done ten........ " -- but they are not acting like they are the voice of the people and singing righteousness and unity.
2. " BUJU never hurt any of you..." Are you f*cking serious ? Do you know the devastation Crack/Cocaine does to families. Do you ? To this day me see it. When I drive pass certain parks in a NJ it in plain sight. Yes him got set up. Authorities do not just randomly "set up " people. They have to have justification.
SMFH
First be believe then we know , we should be ready and prepared for the " knowing " deception is natural in life , u never know until u know , your disappointment is linked to your expectations, the less we expect of people the more we accept them as humans .
Gargamel flexing a lil different. No compromise will be respected thats just life. Those original tunes like "Circumstances", "While Im Living", "Destiny", were real tunes that put you in a positive meds
Prison has soften Buju Banton same as Nelson Mandela. I don't feel him no more😮
Nobody's is perfect...that man is a living legend 🙌🏽!!!!!!!
You speak with little wisdom son. Time will teach you. Prodigal son in the scriptures for a reason. Study mi general.
U are not making sense, we all have a past,none of us are perfect
You still rate him Wiz, lie
So u never do nothing that u not supposed to do
Hello wiz, totally agree with you young man he should have made it right with his fan , no going around the ting like nothing happened.
Totally agree with your opinions Sir!
Respect. I thought I was the only person that felt this way
@@jaradiotv I feel the same way but just scared of the social media backlash....
@@liviennemullings9442 Sometimes we have to speak up. That's how they learn
We all suffer with the expectations syndrome. And more often than not reality isn't as we expect it to be. As Garnett Silk said a man is just a man. Capable of anything at any time.
Therefore, we all have to learn how to give ourselves and others a break at times. And who knows perhaps throughout the passage of time the Gargamel might find it possible to live up to our expectations.
Until then don't let the character of the messenger distract you from receiving the message.
I totally agree with you. It doesn't feel the same...
Stop rate Buju when him come out and talk about how him denounce the song “boom bye bye.” Yet still… yet still him nah denounce the song him sing “inform fi dead”. Nah denounce “affi get you body pon gun point” kmt
who you think you are. your opinion mean 0 cause you are too bias..get a real job. stop put down people to make money
A man is just a man
Be the change you want to see in the man...
Go forth and do it and stop used others as scapegoat for your insecurities
If I was insecure I wouldn't make a video about a living legend. I am actively doing what you claim I should do. I have higher standards so my opinions won't be the popular one.
@@jaradiotvEXACTLY!!!
What the point u trying to make
If you don't know by now then I can't tell you.
So how is that your business? Leave Buju Banton alone,too nuff
🤣🤣 can't read huh? I said why 'I', meaning my opinion. I'm free to share it.
Hope y'all know that Buju and Capleton Rasta movement from dancehall to Reggae in 94/95 is what influence sizzla"s birth in Reggae music.
But Boss This kinda sounds like u resent and hate the guy more than anything else bro . And u keep on saying ur not trying to tear down his legacy but it seems like you are tbh … everybody makes mistakes fam , he also paid for it , he doesn’t need to apologize to no one but himself , he wasn’t influencing society to do drugs , he Lowkey did it on his own so what’s the point here ? He wasn’t even acting as no role model to me , people themselves just view him as that just like any other artists in the same caliber … we are both HUGE fans of Vybz kartel- one of my fav , but how can u sit right putting down buju but still upholding kartel who was actually heard on those voice notes instructing to kill his friend over a gun ??? How do u sit right with those things but chastising someone who did sumn that negatively weighs in less on such a scale ??? I’m a fan of u bro , just pointing out the right things and not tryna be bias… bless up always. Also keep in mind that our greatest world leaders have deep dark secrets doing and committing wrongs behind closed doors.. so don’t be quick to judge ppl , we don’t truly know these ppl ..
Mr why so much. Hate he dont owe you nothing come out of the man life u JAmaican people too bad mind Buju dont owe you nothing
You not here to judge but you rehashing the pass come out you bubble Everyman different social media have you guys wrapped up live and let live
Yall supporters\fans dont know unuh place bout apology😂😂
You know how much people Buju Banton help, the man noh do tings fi clout and everything with camera, ask all your favorite artists what he do for them.
I can predict in the future that this social media and free speech thing is going to get a lot of people into trouble on their journey. When since people life because fi unuh problem
Uno bias baddddd uno forgive kartel so uno can forgive any body kmt
