Reggae entertainer Buju Banton has removed the masks which were being sold on his official website.
The Grammy-winning artiste was selling a cloth mask and CD bundle for his new ‘Upside Down’ album for US$23, The Tropixs made the discovery just moments after his anti-mask wearing rant on social media.
Yesterday Buju Banton sparked controversy when he uploaded a series of videos online sharing his views on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and refusal to wear a mask.
“We wan done wid this mask wearing bullsh_t inna Jamaica,” Banton said in his first video, “Who fi dead aguh dead and who nah guh dead just affi guh live,” he continued.
“We are tired of these intellectual fools trying to tell us how to live our lives, if you are so smart why haven’t you found the cure for cancer?” the “Blessed” signer questioned.
After questioning the financial contribution the government has made to individuals who have lost their jobs since the start of the pandemic, Banton doubled down on his anti-mask wearing stance.
“Jamaican people need fi wake up! and mi done wid the f__kery,” he echoed, “Mi nah wear no mask, because mask nuh mek fi man,” Banton added before chanting freedom for the Jamaican people.
In a follow-up post Buju Banton said we should not trust the government and they should wake up, he also called out the Jamaican people who he alleged ‘sold their votes’ in the last general election held on Thursday, 3 September.
