These allegations have made very sad. But I know for a fact that the evil they are planning for this exemplary young man blowback in their faces. Buju keep your head up... You shall soon be free, by the grace of the almighty. Just be strong as usual and know that the end of babylon can be read in the signs...

I meet you in Dallas, Tx 09. You have inspired me since I was a little child growing up in Nairobi, Kenya.  It warmed my heart when you accepted my Album that I handed to you personally. It broke my heart when I heard the news that you have been held in Tampa. Buju keep your head high! for Sellasie shall never fail his children. GARGAMEL YOU ARE INNOCENT IN THE EYES OF MANY.
I am praying for you everyday for they can't stop you from cutting through.
Buju you got soul!

Buju, from the day i listened to Boom Bye Bye to this day i am listening to Rasta Got Soul,i knew you would be a superstar, way bigger than the guys who started at the same time with you like Shabba.This was my little prohpesy and i am glad it came true. I am a big fan bro.Huge, huge fan.All what's left for me is to meet you in person, and i am sure it will happen. I know you are going through a very difficult time in your life but just remember that fans like me and many others will always stand in your corner because you have inspired us in many ways through your preaching. You are the morden-day Bob Marley to those who follow every lyric from your mouth. Prophets before you were persecuted and this is not new, but we know all this shall come to pass when the walls of Jericho crumble down to the ground. Take care my bro and Large up!

Stanley Makuwe

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the first time I listened to Buju I just fell in love with his voice, music and style. I'm from Costa Rica and Buju is really big here and I really don't believe that he commit any crime. Jah Bless and lets hope for the best.

I have been following this story keenly, and from what i have analyze they cant convict him base on the information that they have gathered so far, he was a big talker, and maybe a taster too but at the end of the day he did not make a deal nor finance one with this man, he even stop taking his calls as a sign that he wanted nothing to do with it, but we also have to remember that we are dealing with the US and they never wants to be wrong, they dont want to be sued so even if he dont get a long sentence, i think they might make him serve some time so that they dont look bad. This man had 50,000US to gain from this, ofcourse he is going to try to convince buju to do business with him, he enticed him with this. I pray for you Buju and wish you the best today.

As I sit here and wait for the verdict, I want his fans to know that whatever the outcome a fan remains a true fan and for me Buju is a real Jamaican Artist and since the late Bob Marley I have not seen any one in his generation that has so much people loving his music.  We are human-beings and we will not agree on everything but why persecute someone for their beliefs.  Buju mi love you stay head strong.  God test we faith most time remember that.

I was a little boy growing up with a Corpral as a father , and buju was the only rastaman i could have listened too. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL FAN FOR 14 YEARS , i always wanted to meet to show you how you thought me to militant and uphold good. I am currently in law school oh i wish i could have been our lawyer because to feeling is an inner height not a case number. I looked every detail of the case and i realize that you did nothing wrong everything was taken out of context. iI believed you when u said you were talking crap because we all do it just to keep a conversation and no intent was ever there. I am also a rastaman and last night i meditated for hours burning coals , incense and kitamal . i kno you will be freed , how do i kno well it's an inner height

My family's thoughts and prayers are with Buju and his family at this very sad time. Lets just all pray that the verdict with be in his favour, but now that we know that a retrial according to the papres are in December lets hope he will be granted bail asap.

We all need to UNITE IN PRAYER as we know God is present in every situation and with him everything is possile as well as with him nothing is impossible.

 BUJU!!! Youv'e touched so many lives through your music...it's total B.S. that  you are in this situation! I think it sucks so much I decided to paint my own FREE BUJU BANTON pants and shirt ;^) My prayers have been steady and long, that you will soon be released  amongst those who bring sunshine into your life, and so you can continue bringing it into ours! I can't express how much I enjoy listening to your songs, you are definitely in a category ALL YOUR OWN, CAN'T NOBODY TOUCH YOU! Please keep your faith, know that Jah will see you through and millions across the globe are anxiously awaiting your return to THE TOP. Much love, prayers, and thoughts to you from me...a Canadian Snowbunny in St. Thomas...xoxoxo

Buju, there is never a day that goes by that you are not thought of and prayed for in our house. We believe in you, and have faith that you will be free, you are a role model for many and will always be. You always stand up for what you believe in, and this is one of the many reasons why you are admired by many.

Keep the faith, pray without ceasing and always remember, with God EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. 

Nadine Clarke

Beloved brother and spiritual son Buju Banton, your Fathers in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church are praying for you ever since we heard the sad news concerning your arrest. We pray that God will deliver you free remember to be focus with constant prayers and faithfulness.

Remember, what is impossible with men is always possible with God. Egziabher, Amlak. May the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob keep you and guide you through these testing times.

When people see you standing up, you can be misinterpreted, misqouoted or just plainly misunderstood. My prayers as all of Jamaica i s behind you and just remember they cant keep a good man down. Love you Mr Myrie.God Bless

Hello my name is Leann and i am a big fan of Buju. I were going through your website a couple of days ago and i were listening to Buju songs it really did touched me then' that this one person has done so much for us the fans and i am truly sad to hear of what has happened to him but i believe Jah will get him through this. As one of his songs says it's not an easy road'' in my heart i truly thinks someone like him should never have to go through something like this. I wish i can write him but i do not have an address but if you do to his Miami home please feel free to email me with the details. I am truly happy he was freed until his time in court' but i am sad to see what he is going through 

 A FAN 

-----------------------------------------------

I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray. Only Him knows how we get through every day ... I could go on and on.. The has never been TOLD. And the truth about the matter at hand will be. I love, love, love Buju Banton. Keep Your head up. You are one of Jah's Warriors. He will guide over you.Over hills and valleys you will have to travel this life. I love you so much and want you to come home. One of my life's goals is to meet you.

Imani Love

I'm so sad to see Buju being persecuted in this way. Stay strong Buju, 'Jah put an angel over you'. One Love from Scotland,

Buju, brother, I've been sending up nothing but love for you, on your behalf to The Most High. Now, that you're in the enemy's camp, send up nothing but praise to The Most High, knowing that He doesn't leave his children. 'Rasta, me noe se yu a JaH pickney,' deserving of His goodness and mercy all the days of your life.  Pray that The Most High will fight against them that fight against you and will stand up for your defence, in this time of your trial and tribulation.
JaH bless

Nuff Love Buju. I am your number one fan. Don't let anything get you down, great God rules over everything. Been following you since day one, your music is very powerful and uplifting. God will not let those evil ones destroy you, no, not, never. Remember after the darkest part of the night, comes day. Your great God will never fosake you in your time of need. Stay Blessed and remember God is watching over you. 

Lord Finesse

Buju,  my thoughts and prayers are with you.  It pains me that of all your good works, you are berated to this day for lyrics you uttered when a very young man in the business.  No mention of the works you've done since then.  I hope you did not do this thing you are accused of.  It goes against everything Ras stands for.  Nevertheless, if you did, I will not cast a stone at you.  Be strong and courageous during this test and know that God is with you 

Peace Love

I'm praying for you that come Monday , you will be set free, where you deserve to be. I read a suggestion to read Psalms 23 and 27. Bless to the person who suggested that I read it with my parents. Wickeed liars will not prosper, and Jah, God willing , you will be free on Monday. I have seen you in concert 3 times in the UK , and your words are powerful, you are a leaning tower of strength, and your lyrics and voice are powerful, with messages that resound ansd resonate across the world. I am in the UK , and your messages and voice uplift me, 
Prsaying for yoiur freedom. Been following the case all this week on the Observer website, as thye only way British media will mention thge case is if you were to be cfonvicted. Typical . Hope it's not so.

Why the Jury taking so long to make a decision. It seems the FEDS dem want to buy dem out as well.
Buju I am praying  for you cause Selassie caant help you right now.  But there is a God who defend the righteous.  We have long suspected that the reason you are in jail right now is cause you NEVER kiss up to the Batty-man dem

 FREE Buju    Listen up yu all,
Please go back and READ Johnson's
statement and you will see it was all a set, He said I was waiting for him to come to me, that alone should tell evryone, IT is a SETUP and the Jurors should look on that and see it was all a set up and set him free by that one statement alone.

What I cannot and will never understand is, why do we as human beings believe in bringing down another like ourselves; because someone is striving for excellence and accomplishing their goals, doesn't mean they are doing things the illegal/wrong way as some may term it to be.  Buju, you are in our prayers, thoughts.....Free Buju

I don't know you personally but I am motivated to send this message to you.  Been following your trial.  Life is not an easy road but God can take a negative and turn it into a positive.  I understand how difficult this is for you but if you work with God's plan, which is NEVER easy, you will overcome. Your TESTIMONY will be greater than your TEST!!! But you have to work within HIS PLAN for your life.  This is turning point in your life.  Whether or not you are guilty is beside the point.  You know the truth and He forgives everyone who asks.  God uses the LEAST to achieve the MOST.  The Storms are raging around you but don't look out, look in, and there you will find your peace.  I hope you are documenting your experiences so that you will have a record of the Grace and Love of God.  Tek care and pray without ceasing.
