      Rasta always downplay the role of intelligence. Without the man's insight Natural blacks wouldn't even be in Jamaica, no reggae artiste I know lives in guyana. I think there's two side to the story as I once knew Natural blacks from Trench Town back in the day and he was a notable character. However Roger's work was instrumental to Natural Blacks career and his insight/intelligence benefited the artiste greatly.

They EXPLOIT RASTA for financial gain and many show signs of VIOLENCE and BETRAYAL.... Not saying Natural Black was perfect; NO one is ...but he went through a LOT of BETRAYAL from Rastamen and from word on the street, threatened with physical and emotional violence, from some of his own so called " brethren. " Therefore, it is understandable that he CUT ✂️ his hair, distant himself from 🇯🇲 Jamaica; That does not stop his NATURAL BORN talent! He is not d first and last artists to make drastic change in life. There is mystery surrounding d death of his baby mother who bare him five children ( she died in Guyana ), which I am still trying to figure out .... Whatever happened, if you lose a woman who bare you children❤ to death■, you will NEVER BE D SAME....

    Kingsley had to lose 40lbs for the movie, which made him have night sweats from dropping so much weight in a short period; it also made him feel light-headed and dizzy on set. He had to hire a football (soccer) coach to teach him how to play like Bob. He had to learn how to play the guitar, and he did this while he was still filming on set with the Barbie movie, so he was already starting to work toward the Bob Marley movie when he didn't even finish playing Basketball Ken on the Barbie movie. He had to spent long periods of time with Bob's family to get to know them. He had about 9 voice coaches on set to learn the Jamaican language Patois. Cedella gave him videos of Bob that he had to watch for 9 months and learn Bob's movements, gestures, vulnerabilities, and how he reacts to people and the environment around him. He went to Trench Town to speak to Bob's childhood friends; he then went on several shows to promote the film and speak so HIGHLY of the Jamicain people and Bob himself. he was fully committed and invested. I totally understand why Jamaica would feel that the main character should have been Jamaica. I get it. They have every right to feel that way. This is THEIR star FIRST. However, let's also give Kindgely his stardom for his commitment. I don't care if people think he wasn't that great (I thought he was). BUT let's give him his stardom for his level of commitment AND his reverence for Bob Marley.
