Jamaican reggae legend, Buju Banton released from US prison after serving 7-year jail term on drug charges

Jamaican reggae star, Mark Anthony Myrie popularly known as Buju Banton has been released from a federal prison in Georgia.

The federal Bureau of Prisons updated its inmate locator to show that he was released Friday Dec 7th from the McRae Correctional Facility in Georgia. Banton was convicted of federal drug charges in February 2011 for illegal possession of a firearm and conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute.

He was sentenced to 10 years, a prison term his attorneys appealed to be reduced a year later, citing his "limited participation" in the drug operation that led to his December 2009 bust.

Banton is one of the most well-known reggae artists in Jamaica, where he's considered a big name in the same genre of music that features icons such as Bob Marley. His popularity among reggae fans led to his collaboration with international US artists such as Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe. After his release, rap artist P. Diddy posted a message on Instagram. "Today is a glorious day. Buju is free. Let's go!" he said.

In 2011, during Buju Banton’s sentencing by a US federal court in Florida, the judge heard a heartfelt request for leniency from the reggae icon’s then 11-year-old daughter, Abihail Myrie.

“I can’t imagine a life without my father. I would really appreciate if you would give him a second chance” she wrote back then.

Following the release of her dad two days ago,  Abihail who is now a teenager shared the heartwarming moment they re-united in a social media post which she captioned, “I’ve imagined what this moment would be like, replaying it over and over again in my head but now I can stop imagining because that moment is finally here. It’s so real and I can’t even find the words to express how i feel. I missed you so much Im so happy to finally have you here. My heart is so full. How’d you make an exact replica of yourself though?? TWINNING!” Abihail wrote.
