The legendary Jamaican reggae performer Buju Banton has disclosed his Igbo ancestry.

Speaking recently on the “Drink Champs” podcast, which N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN co-host, Banton claimed that the Igbo tribe in Nigeria is where his family, the Maroons, got their start.

He lamented the fact that the present Jamaican government is displacing their Indigenous people by allowing Chinese and other outsiders into their area, endangering their Indigenous land.

He said, “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.

“Maroons are some of the Indigenous warriors on my Island. We fought the British relentlessly. We are called Blackmaroons. My generation originated from Nigeria. I am an Igbo man according to my bloodline.”
