"Now our team is primarily concerned with setting the record straight on the grossly inaccurate portrait of Buju being painted by certain organisations and systematically relayed to the masses and the media.
"Buju Banton was all of 15 years old when he wrote Boom Bye Bye in response to widely publicised man/boy rape case in Jamaica. It was not a call to violence. The song was released on a popular dancehall rhythm in 1992 and caused a huge uproar after receiving commercial radio play in the States. Following much public debate back then, prominent gay rights leaders and Buju decidedly moved on. For the record, it is tthe only song he ever made on the subject - and he does not perform it today."
