Jamaican Reggae Singer Granted Special Permission To Enter Barbados – Under normal circumstances Buju Banton wouldn’t have been able to perform in Barbados due to a criminal conviction which automatically disqualified him from gaining entry into Barbados.

Mark Myrie, (Buju Banton) will perfom at the Kensignton Oval on April 27,
his fourth stop on his Long Walk To Freedom Tour

According to Barbados Nation, Minister of Home Affairs Edmund Hinkson, whose portfolio includes immigration, confirmed the decision was made at the ministerial level.

The Minister of Immigration always has the right on circumstances to allow someone in Barbados. Let’s put it that way, and we have agreed to allow Buju Banton to come in.
