Buju Banton has fired back at Prime Minister Andrew Holness after Holness accused entertainers of waving Jamaica's flag to sell tickets while tearing the country down abroad. In a social media post, Buju wrote "we do not wave the flag, we are the brand Jamaica," arguing that drawing audiences into Jamaican culture takes hard work, credibility and a body of work. The clash follows Beenie Man's ITV News criticism of Hurricane Melissa relief distribution and Holness's October 28 Black River Hospital response calling those comments a lie.
