A major brouhaha between Grammy-winning deejay Buju Banton and Transport Minister Daryl Vaz has taken on political overtones as users have accused the Til Shiloh singer of being “a PNP supporter’.

The reference irked Buju’s fans

The tiff between the two started with Buju Banton lobbing accusations of corruption at the JLP-led administration, insisting that relief supplies were stolen at the Norman Manley International Airport. The Not An Easy Road singer accused Vaz of being “unaware” of the real situation.

In a post shared to his Instagram, Buju Banton said that the goods sent for Hurricane Melissa victims were not taken straight from the plane to trucks, as Vaz had claimed, but were moved to “an area we had no sight of” and kept there for hours.

“Seals were broken and things were taken,” he said, stressing that he had no reason to “create mischief nor make up stories.”

The entertainer accused the minister of trying to “make this political” and said that the relief flight also carried packages for People’s National Party’s Member of Parliaments, donated by Florida-based commissioners and donors.

“This is about Jamaica, not about PNP or JLP as we are all suffering,” Buju wrote.

Calling the system “broken,” the Til Shiloh artiste said many others had faced similar issues at customs. “The common thread continues to be a lack of accountability and trying to shame and blame the person who speaks out,” he added.

Buju said he was disappointed by Vaz’s response but “not surprised.”
