Grammy Award-winning reggae and dancehall artist Buju Banton has been granted a visa to enter the United States of America, marking a significant development in his career.
Banton’s return to the United States comes after his deportation to Jamaica on December 7, 2018, following his release on drug convictions from the McRae Correctional Institute in Telfair County, Georgia, USA. There had been speculation surrounding his potential return to the US ever since.
