Earlier this month, Buju Banton released an official statement regarding his controversial song “Boom Bye Bye.” In the statement he made it clear that he has put the song behind him and will not be performing it again because of the pain it’s caused so many people.

Though some Jamaicans are okay with the personal statement, others are very disappointed. Some in the Rastafari community has even questioned why the artist, a known Rastaman would do such a thing.
