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.

Bro the fact that he paid for his crime already we should not still be asking for more. We need to stop this as a people.

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.

Give Buju a break, let Buju breathe , you are definitely tearing Buju down !!!you just said it !!!

Respect your opinion and you’re right but grouping Buju and Alka in the same category is a reach out of spite lol

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.

He dont want to talk about it . Leave the man alone his testimony is to the most high god.

Timing is everything wiz. Buju knows he let a lot of people down. He's not comfortable yet. The love from the people will help him get there

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.

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! ✊🏾

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

Why because he don’t want to all over social media like Vagas them

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.

Buju better watch out for a Michael Jackson settings🤦🏾‍♂️

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.

Him don't owes us no apology. Is not you help pop at his Lawyer fee so just leave the nan alone. He donate to the boys home.

I'm proud of you for being honest. We need more people like you who is correct in your analysis

Who's you. you can't stop buju banton he don't owe you no apology

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.

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.

Much respect brother i fully understand what you've said in this video

Brethren if you don’t have nothing good to say keep you mouth shut.

I agree with you 💯% buju would consider to be a sellout.

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 💰💰

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.

Deh bredda ya must a smoke crack. So throw money in crowds equals to helping people? 😂😂😂

U miss, big miss too!!! Joke ting!!! Keep yuh personal views in yuh head!!! U ah try diss him smartly!!!🙅🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️ Flip Mogella over Buju, guh sit down!!!

Uh is a hypocrite but uh rate kartel Weh sing about degradation of black women and the killing of black men but your morals stop with buju.

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,

Buju is a great - I don’t really care. I wasn’t there - I don’t know for sure everything.. Must learn to separate the music from the man. As long as he does his duty musically - to me - in satisfied with that!

Fi a rasta man eh nuh look good. No one is above getting checked

You are on Fox News defending someone like Vybz Kartel ? Wiz you tripping 😂😂😂😂

I believe the only person he needs to have accountability to is his family. We're just fans.

A man is just a man Bro.. Buju case goes way beyond that case..

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

Love, Honor and Respect to Buju Banton. In fact, I love his Til Shiloh and Inna Heights Albums. However, in the end everybody sold out for money.

Real talk bro you right

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 😂😂😂😂

You sound confused bredda. One minute yuh say yuh rate buju n the next minute yuh say yuh can’t rate him. It’s a win for the culture, just rate dat n keep it “driving”

Rasta and coke nuh mix. Stop condone foolishness

Bro you not saying nothing give the man a break jah jah you hype the man Dan a bring him down at the same time makes no sense

That festival song that he won was for giving back to charity

I wholeheartedly agree with your view on Buju!

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 .

You sound badminded of Buju Banton..leave the man alone...

In other words, it’s ok to sing whatever yo wanna sing to di yutes but just make sure yo mek it clear seh yo anuh role model an mek sure yo song dem tuff 😂

There’s nothing to clear up. The man do him time

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!

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.

I totally agree with you. It doesn't feel the same...

Alkaline did a stunt to grow his platform so hiw dat become a problem

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 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.

Me already see that you are a hater

Buju banton is so great..you can never change are convince no one

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

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

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

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

I cant stop respecting him. But it is what it is. He is human.

So how you still rate Vybz Kartel ?

I went to the show and I don't care about Buju's past. None a wi nuh perfect. Not even yuh.

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.

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....

What's crazy is you posted this and today I get a email saying Buju have an upcoming Toronto show. 😂

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 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 🤷‍♀️

Listen missed his show july 13 14 wint miss it November 17 Barclay's in Brooklyn you can chat nothing changing his status one

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.

Dog is just life he did is time and that's it when you love by the people nothing can stop it

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 🔥 ❤️ 🇯🇲 🙏🏼

Nobody's is perfect...that man is a living legend 🙌🏽!!!!!!!

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

Wiz I agree with you 1000 percent. Lost all the ratings for him after he tricked us all!

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

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.

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…

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

I totally i agree with you Wiz this time... we need answers

What is wrong with you? Stop bringing up the man past. He has done his time.

Not gonna speak on Buju because I don’t know about his personal life. Maybe Buju wants to leave the past in the past .

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.

winford was the first interview he did, but winford deliberately didnt ask about the the arrest, youd have a better chance if he went anthony miller

Buju look like him still out still nah feel him like back then

Prison has soften Buju Banton same as Nelson Mandela. I don't feel him no more😮

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.?..🤔🤔

Reading comments 👀 Damn when you’re an artist You cannot do wrong’s in your fans Eyes !! They look pass it

Yall supporters\fans dont know unuh place bout apology😂😂

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.

😂 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.❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇯🇲🧐

Totally agree with you Wiz. More can be done as you said to inspire some youths not to go that road.

Real talk, I don't enjoy his music the same way!

You don’t have to!! We do💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯💯💯💯

Totally agree with your opinions Sir!

Uno bias baddddd uno forgive kartel so uno can forgive any body kmt

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

So u never do nothing that u not supposed to do

Bad mind , You bad mind

What the point u trying to make
