I just don’t know how the heck of these crazy rumors get started. This weekend the Twittersphere and the Caribbean mediasphere was all a frenzy over a rumor that Buju had been stabbed to death in his Pinellas County jail or that he had committed suicide. Rest assured, the Grammy-award winning reggae artist nee Mark Anthony Myrie is alive and doing well.
According to the Jamaica Observer, Buju communicated through his children’s mother, Lorna Strachan, that he is okay.
“I don’t like rumors about me being killed or committing suicide. Tell them I like the rumors that I am free or out on bail,” ~Buju Banton
“I spoke to him four times today (yesterday) and the children spoke to him too. It is a lie; nothing is wrong with Mark. He is okay,” Strachan said.
