In a recent interview, Jahazeil Myrie — one of the sons of legendary Jamaican artist Buju Banton — opened up candidly about his personal journey, including his experiences with spiritual hardship and the transformation he’s undergone.

During the conversation, Jahazeil shared that at the lowest point of his life he felt so spiritually overwhelmed that he used a local Jamaican expression to describe how lost he felt, saying he had “literally almost tun fish,” a colloquial way of illustrating being turned around or completely adrift.

He also spoke about taking deliberate steps to distance himself from negativity and people who don’t support his growth, emphasizing his commitment to bettering himself and building a more positive environment around him.

Part of Jahazeil’s turnaround has included his recent baptism, which followed years during which he says he struggled spiritually. This step represents a meaningful shift for him, and he has assured supporters that his faith won’t change his artistic path but will continue to influence his life in a constructive way.

Despite being known as the son of a reggae/dancehall icon, Jahazeil has expressed a desire to forge his own identity — making it clear that while he respects his father’s legacy, he wants to be recognised for his own journey and achievements.
