"I'm in Miami ... Buju Banton is back in America," Khaled said, as Buju entered the frame. "Buju Banton has not been in the United States of America for more than 15 years."

An enthusiastic Buju declared "God is amazing. I want to send nuff love to all the people out there ... nuff love to my fans.... The Gargamel is back."

He added, "Greetings my people, it's a long time I haven't seen you. It's a long time these feet have not walked these shores. Let's get music going."

"This is a celebration. We are having lunch and we are celebrating with the Banton," DJ Khaled stated. "Shoutout to Jamaica and to everybody in Jamaica. Buju Banton is officially in Miami."

Buju was deported to Jamaica on December 7, 2018, following his release from McRae Correctional Institute Telfair County, Georgia, USA.
