Buju Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, served ten years in prison for a 2011 drug trafficking conviction in Florida. The legendary singer lost numerous appeal after he argued that he was unfairly targeted and entrapped in a drug trafficking ring by a paid government informant. Eventually, Buju threw in the towel and decided to serve his full sentence and in return, the judge dropped a gun charge that could’ve added some additional years to his sentence.
