Renowned dancehall reggae artist Buju Banton has finally made his long-awaited return to Florida after having his visa reinstated to the United States of America. The Grammy Award-winning sensation recently made an appearance in DJ Khaled's Instagram Live on May 2, where the famous DJ celebrated Banton's return to the Sunshine State. According to Jamaica Gleaner, DJ Khaled expressed his excitement, saying that it has been about 15 years since Banton has been seen in Miami or any part of the U.S. He warmly welcomed Banton back to his "second home" and introduced him to viewers on the live stream.
Banton, known for his popular hit "Wild Thoughts", reciprocated the love and expressed his joy at being able to return to Florida after years of being banned from entering the U.S. He thanked his fans for their continuous support and declared that "Gargamel is back". The musician also sent greetings to his fans all across the United States, and expressed his eagerness to perform and make music once again.
In the video, Khaled also took a moment to acknowledge Banton's home country of Jamaica and the impact he has made on the music industry. He declared that the gathering was a celebration, as they were having lunch with Banton. The DJ also gave a special shout out to Jamaica and its people, announcing that Banton was officially in Miami.
Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, has not been in Florida since he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in 2011 for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. After serving seven years, he was released on December 7, 2018, from a correctional institute in Georgia. Banton was then deported back to Jamaica, where his arrival was highly anticipated and celebrated. In fact, he was regarded as the most eagerly awaited arrival since Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie touched down in April 1966. Banton rose to fame in the 1990s as a reggae artist and even broke Bob Marley's record for having the most No. 1 singles on the Jamaican music charts in 1992.
Since his release, Banton has made a comeback to music, releasing two albums: "Upside Down" in 2020 and "Born For Greatness" in 2023. He has also been honored at the inaugural Caribbean Music Awards, alongside other notable artists such as Nicki Minaj and Beres Hammond. Banton's return to Florida has been met with much excitement and anticipation, as fans eagerly await to see him perform once again. His powerful music and message continue to inspire and unite people from all walks of life.
