Feds Set Buju Up Says Superstar Attorney

Gay people aren’t the only ones conspiring against Buju Banton, the DEA might have it out for him too. His lawyer, David Markus, filed court papers on Tuesday that suggest “he may use an entrapment defense” to defend the dancehall artist according to the Tampa Tribune. The feds used a paid informant and Markus wants access to that “confidential source” to investigate his past criminal record and the fee he was paid. The man reportedly met Buju on a plane where they allegedly engaged in small talk about cocaine, but the Babylon-crushing attorney said his client avoided repeated attempts by the man to sell him cocaine. Still, the government says the Grammy nominee did break out a knife and test the cocaine—just like they do in the movies! |Tampa Tribune|

In other Jersey Shore news, MTV has reportedly caved to the cast’s demands that they all be paid $10,000 an episode to return for a second season. That figure actually seems kind of low when you consider that the cast of the The Hills get close to $100k per episode, but whatever, I don’t really care if they get fucked over financially as long as there’s another season! |Page Six and Hollywood Reporter|
