Grammy-winning Banton performed alongside Spragga Benz, Wayne Wonder which saw thousands visit the island of Barbados to attend the much-anticipated concert. Rihanna was among the many eager to see the icon on stage.
Rihanna loves her reggae music and isn’t afraid to show it. The Bajan beauty took to photo-sharing app Instagram to share a moment with the Legend Buju Banton.
Buju Banton was in Trinidad for the Barbados Reggae Festival, as part of his Long Walk to Freedom tour across the Carribean. Buju performed on the Port of Spain at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Trinidad and Tobago last weekend (21.04.2019) but did not receive a warm welcome from the law enforcement who raided his hotel.
Speaking about the incident, it is reported Buju, 45, took to his Instagram account where he revealed that police officers visited his hotel room with a search warrant.
“I am chilling in my hotel room and the cops came, a whole bunch of them, said they had a warrant to search my room and a whole bunch of stuff,” he said.
According to Caribbean Life News, Commissioner of Police of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS), Gary Griffith has apologized to Jamaican reggae icon Mark “Buju Banton” Myrie over a search carried out by the Organized Crime and Intelligence Unit (OCIU) of his Hilton Trinidad hotel room about 24 hours after he arrived in Trinidad on a private jet for “I am Legend Concert.”
The comeback tour for the ‘Hills and Valleys” crooner began in March 16th on the island of Jamaica and is set to end on August 2nd in France.
