Subsequent to returning to Jamaica after serving time in a US prison, Busy Signal is once again in trouble with the law, facing charges stemming from his previous arrest.
The allegation against the artiste is that he unlawfully obtained three Jamaican passports in the name Reanno Gordon.

Did Chris Brown lie about community service?
Reports surfaced that hip-hop artiste Chris Brown lied about completing 180 hours of community service, but his attorney Mark Geragos has allegedly presented the legal documents to dismiss the rumours.
The documents stated that Richmond’s deputy police chief witnessed Brown cleaning the police stables and that Brown also paid the police department $31,534.70 for providing security, but the district attorney claimed he didn’t pay.
Brown also claimed to have done most of his hours at the Tappahannock Children’s Center. However, his attorney failed to present evidence supporting this point.
