A statement from Buju’s management quotes Buju saying :
“It feels good. I have been nominated 4 times before although I never won. To me it means a lot because it shows that my music has transcended a lot of borders & people are now paying attention to what I’m saying in-depth.”
Buju goes on trial tomorrow, in Tampa, Florida, for alleged drug charges.About that we need to stay all positive and send positive thoughts and hope and prays out for Buju tomorrow, so for him to come out innocent and totally clean from those charges.
There’s also the need to Give Thanx to people like Ragga Ragga Stephen Marley, A REAL FREEDOM FIGHTER, the one that made possible for Buju to be on house arrests and the one that took it on himself to get his bredda Buju out on bail. Jah Army People Stand Up!
