Last Sunday January 27, dancehall star
Anthony B, born Keith Anthony Blair, was arrested and charged with
possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. More Details After The Jump… The
artist’s mugshot and details of the arrest were found on an official
website listing arrests throughout the U.S. He was reportedly arrested
with several other persons whose names are not yet known. According to
the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Georgia has
extremely tough penalties for ganja— possession of anything more than an ounce is considered a felony under Georgia state law. The artist had been scheduled to perform an acoustic set in Brooklyn
this week at One Mic but
now there’s no telling when his fans might get to see him perform.
Anthony B first rose to prominence in 1996 on the strength of his smash
hit “Fire Pon Rome.” His debut album
So Many Things… established him as one of dancehall’s leading cultural DJs, renowned for his conscious lyrics and dynamic stage performance.
