Jamaican entertainer Busy Signal has waived his right to an extradition hearing to go to the US to be tried for absconding bail.

Busy Signal’s attorney KD Knight told The Gleaner/Power 106 News that his client should leave Jamaica within a month.

And he said Busy Signal whose real name is Glendale Gordon can only be tried for the offence of absconding bail.

This means that the US will not be able to try him on the drug related charges.

Busy Signal who was arrested on Monday on an extradition warrant was denied bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning.
