The management and legal teams of internationally acclaimed recording artiste Buju Banton (Mark Anthony Myrie) categorically reject and denounce as false and defamatory certain statements recently published on social media.

“The statements in question falsely allege the commission of serious criminal acts. These allegations are entirely untrue, without factual basis, and have caused significant reputational harm to our client both in Jamaica and internationally,” they said in a release.

According to the release, formal legal notice has been issued to the responsible party, requiring the immediate removal of all defamatory content, together with a full and unequivocal retraction and public apology.

“The continued circulation of these false statements across multiple digital platforms is being actively monitored. Our client reserves all rights and will pursue all available legal remedies against any individual or entity involved in the publication or further dissemination of these defamatory claims.

“Buju Banton has built a global reputation over decades through his music, cultural impact, and advocacy. These false allegations stand in stark contrast to that legacy and will be addressed with required gravity,” the statement said. Further updates will be provided as this matter progresses.
