Jamaican reggae star Buju Banton is facing a drug charge in Florida.
Banton, whose real name is Mark Anthony Myrie, has been in US federal custody in Miami since Thursday.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman David Melenkevitz said on Sunday that Banton was arrested on a charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine.
An e-mail to Banton’s record label was not returned on Sunday.
Banton’s ninth album, “Rasta Got Soul,’’ is nominated for a Grammy for best reggae album. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation launched an online petition protesting the nomination, saying some of Banton’s earlier lyrics have advocated violence against gay and transgender people.
