Earlier this year, Buju Banton signed up for voluntary deportation to return to Jamaica in the shortest time possible.

According to his publicist, Ronnie Tomlinson, Banton’s lawyers had made legal manoeuvres to circumvent that process and he is not fighting his immigration status.

“Buju has made sure that his stay with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be as short as possible. He has opted for voluntary deportation. He should be home in very short order after his sentence ends,” she said.
