The person behind the scam has been posing as Buju Banton’s agent and falsely collecting money on his behalf for a concert to be held in Trinidad later this year.
The problem is there is no such concert in the works and Buju Banton is currently serving a 10-year sentence in a South Florida prison.
“There is no concert being organized and Buju Banton did not give anyone any right to collect any money on his behalf,” a rep for the singer told Urban Islandz.
Buju Banton, born Mark Myrie, lead attorney, Charles Ogletree, recently filed court document for a new trial. If he continues to serve his sentencing, he will be released in February 2019.
I dont know who advises these entertainers or who their circle of friends are but obviously they hang out with old cruffs yes he is a grown man and should have known better. But I cant understand why they would prefer to sing behind bars instead of a crowd and make money and go home lord have mercy.
