For the people that says, How come he doesn’t do this in Jamaica; should know that he has a foundation for Boys that he started years ago and is very active there at the center. Perhaps because of his federal charges the government don’t really want him involved on a larger scale. I dunno. 🤷‍♀️A prophet is never honored in his own Town.

[@kavelbryson817]

@Truth Speaks what can buju do differently than just ask the youths to change? First he is not the government or thier parents,he is just trying to play a role as a role model,in the bible all the great men made mistakes, they are no perfect people, people squander money most of the time than to even help thier own children,we need to place value and priority,and things will turn out much better.

From jump. i add up all my ticket stub, of Buju, & MJ Shows that i have been to throughout the years, & it's almost 30 years, i thought i spent more on MJ, because any where MJ is performing i'm there, & anywhere Buju is performing am there. Buju is the most tickets i have bought, & concert i have been to. i would love to see Buju, & MJ on stage, but all i can say is RiP MJ, carry on the teaching Buju. Bless.

Shyne and buju could be a big tune

[@omart8243]

Look, gang violence occurs in corners of socioeconomic depression or corruption. It is a mindset which says I should kill or hurt my rivals in order to protect my respect or livelihood. Poverty may not be the immediate cause of the violence, as sometimes the gang members are well off individuals, but it is a factor, as many times the violent actors come from poverty or are surrounded by it, and have the mindset that they have to kill or be killed in order to survive. It all starts with the family, and the state supporting the family structure, encouraging nuclear families and supporting the growth, education, protection and development of children to adults. Buju may be able to change a few minds but there is little he can do to change fundamentals. That withstanding, appreciate him doing this!

For a man like Buju Banton/Mark Anthony Myrie, spent years in prison, came out and sound not even close to the Buju Banton before incarcerated, came Out and no positive writings/songs,none, what happen to him while he was in prison, seem like he was intimidated some what that killed that vibration the same thing he sang against haunted him in prison. He went back to Jamaica and did nothing to up lift the youths ,musically, Spiritually, Metaphorically, no conscious reasons, ** but get on politicians, what about the ghettos and the poor, but it seem that he is battling some confusion, he offered no help to the youths in Jamaica if he has any visionary fix, knowing the crime rate in Jamaica, now he left Jamaica to offer his help to the Belizean youths regarding crime, their crime rate is no where close to Jamaica** what is that all about?
