According to reports, Miles Myrie, the 20-year-old son of legendary reggae-dancehall performer Mark “Buju Banton” Myrie, was pronounced dead.
Jahazeil Myrie, another Banton son, verified the report’s accuracy with a local publication, “It is not my thing to say, it is not my job personally to give out any personal information about Miles, my father is the one who should share any details, but Miles is a hortical yute, his soul was clean, so I had to say something.”

According to Jahazeil, Miles was residing in the US at the time of his passing. He withheld information about his brother’s illness or the reason for his death.
Jahazeil shared a glance of what brotherhood was like with Miles who had urged him to press on, “We grow up together one ah the time dem, and he always would motivate me to never give up. He was a very motivational person no matter wah. When he was younger, he wanted to be a judge but as he got older, he got to love the rapping so he wanted to be a rapper.”
Jahazeil appeared to be grieving the loss of his sister when he posted a picture of the two on his Instagram Stories on April 1, 2024. The tweet included a broken heart emoji and Popcaan’s melancholic song, Only Jah Know.
