Buju Banton, a popular Jamaican reggae singer, has revealed his ancestry, claiming to be of Igbo descent.
Banton revealed that the Igbo people of Nigeria are the ancestors of his tribe, the Maroons, in a recent appearance on the “Drink Champs” podcast.
Banton lamented the threat to his Indigenous land and way of life and accused the Jamaican government of allowing Chinese and other foreigners to invade their area of sacrosanctity, the Cockpit.
He expressed his pride in his Igbo ancestry and his people’s history as warriors who fought against British colonisation.
“Our Indigenous way of life and our land are being threatened by the current government of Jamaica, which seeks to bring Chinese and other nationalities into the Cockpit region, which is an Indigenous sacred region to usurp us the Maroons, as the warriors” he said.
“We are called Blackmaroons. My generation originated from Nigeria. I am an Igbo man according to my bloodline, we fought the British relentlessly,” he added.
