Jamaican Reggae / Dancehall Artist: Buju Banton
FACT - Buju Banton released a remake of the song "Boom Bye Bye" in 1992. The song which glorifies tourture and murder of gay men received a lot of criticism from LGBT community
August 29, 2009 - Due to an outcry around Banton's lyrics promoting attacks on LGBT
people, promoters AEG Live and Live Nation, Inc. cancelled Buju
Banton's US tour. Banton was scheduled to perform in Chicago, Las
Vegas, Dallas and Houston, however, after a campaign was organized by
the LA Gay and Lesbian Center, and the liberal website change.org, promoter
Live Nation said they are canceling all of Bantons American performances.
