No Disrespect meant, but if Buju is so rich why does there need to be a benefit concert to pay his legal fees huh?
Waw Rass we taking over, Bob Marley still da bigman.
Reggae is BIG business but because the artists don’t market themselves properly (expect for Shaggy and Sean Paul – I don’t consider Sean Kingston Reggae – he’s pop with reggae influence), They will continue to collect the dreggs of the financial barrell.
