Jamaican reggae artist Buju Banton pleaded not guilty to federal drug charges in Florida. Banton was charged with conspiring to buy more than 5 kilograms of cocaine from an undercover Sarasota law enforcement officer. The singer is not requesting bond, because, if he were to bond out of jail, he would be remanded to the custody of immigration officials. Banton will likely miss the Grammy Awards ceremony later this month. His latest album, "Rasta Got Soul" received a nomination for Best Reggae Album.
