I’m an Igbo man according to my bloodline – Buju
Jamaican reggae legend Buju Banton has recently disclosed his Igbo heritage during an appearance on the ‘Drink Champs’ podcast, hosted by N.O.R.E and DJ EFN. Banton revealed that his Maroon tribe, known for its resistance against British colonial rule, has origins in the Igbo people of Nigeria.
In the podcast, Banton expressed concern over the current Jamaican government’s actions, which he claims are endangering their ancestral lands.
He criticized the government for permitting foreign interests, including Chinese entities, to encroach upon the Cockpit region—a sacred and historically significant area for the Maroons. According to Banton, this move threatens to displace the Maroons, who have long been protectors of their land and culture.
Banton’s remarks highlight a broader issue of land rights and preservation of Indigenous heritage in Jamaica. His statement underscores the ongoing struggle of the Maroons to safeguard their traditional lands and way of life against external pressures and encroachment.
