Jamaican reggae artist, Buju Banton has been detained in Florida on charges of excessive partying, sources denying ever knowing the performer are saying. Officially, the charges are possession of more than 5 kilos of cocaine, but a darker story lies just below the surface.

Apparently Buju brought in a few keys of coke, hired most of the strippers in Tampa for the weekend, and forgot to invite the local police chief.Insiders with the Tampa Police Department asked not to be quoted as saying, "The boss get pissed when there are geeked out strippers and nobody asks him to join the party."

Banton, who has a normal name like everyone else but chooses not to use it, has been in trouble with the law before, but never a crime as serious as the one her faces now. In his home country, Banton was charged with violent homophobic acts several years ago, but the charges were later dropped. Unfounded speculation suggests the charges were dropped when the local police chief was invited to a party that involved lots of strippers who were, quote, "putting lines the size of breadsticks up their noses."

Perhaps the best-known name in reggae this year, Buju Banton has released more than a few albums and was recently nominated for a Grammy. Now that his supply of uncut Peruvian flake has been confiscated, celebrity insiders are telling us that the star has had several invitations to posh private parties canceled in the last several hours, and even more nightlife rejection is expected to follow.
