Sunday night, Buju Banton won a Grammy award for Best Reggae record, but Monday his second trial on charges of federal drug trafficking is scheduled to start, with jury selection, five months following a previous jury hung, reports the Associated Press, Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, claiming he was entrapped, the United States government saying he conspired to purchase a shipment of cocaine from an undercover agent, the incident captured on video cameras hidden inside a Florida warehouse. He was arrested in December, 2009, at his Miami home. He was held in custody until November, 2010, when Steve Marley, the son of Bob Marley, posted his bail. In Jamaica, several fans have theorized Banton was framed by the U.S. government or by gay activists who have protested violent, homophobic lyrics from early in Banton's career as a brash dancehall singer. Shows in several U.S. cities were cancelled on his 2009 tour because of the protests. Banton jabbed at his detractors during his Jan. 16 performance in Miami, referencing one of his controversial songs and the messiah of his Rastafarian faith, saying "Why they want to see Buju Banton cry? Is it because I said 'Boom Bye Bye'? Is it because I say Selassie I? Is it because I'm black and not shy?"
