(Jamaica) - The management team of dancehall artiste, Mark Myrie, popularly known as Buju Banton, has dismissed a report in Monday's edition of the UK Guardian stating that he has signed an agreement with a gay rights group. A report in the newspaper claims that homophobic figures in reggae and dancehall music have agreed to stop singing violently anti-gay lyrics. But speaking with RJR news, Buju's manager Donovan Germaine dismissed the report out of hand. He added that the management team would not comment further on the issue as it was "being used by the gay rights group to gain mileage for their cause."
