I love Buju but I gotta admit I feel a certain about him preaching positivity and consciousness while pushing coke on the low. I'm conflicted.
Yeah plus people who know him will tell you that he can be very difficult to get along with. But yeah the coke thinkg I followed closely and his words suggest he had been doing it for a while. Plus conflict diamonds in Africa. He got desperate since he is broke .
How is he broke?
He got over 10 kids . Them payments really do add up.
Plus his shows in USA got cancelled.

In roots reggae music the music and the messenger are intertwined. It's not like Gil Scott Heron denouncing dope and being high as goddamn kite... the culture (I am of Jamaican heritage) is deeply invested in the lives and souls of these artists.
