@@WinifredForbes-x9n no he was not he was a rising star, go and do research looking at timelines ( years) Even though Rita’s book , it’s clear he wasn’t yet a big star before his affair with Cindy, she spoke about it her book and even implied that is one of the reasons she didn’t really fuss about it because of Beauty and the beast plans etc.
@@WinifredForbes-x9nhe wasn’t in terms of mainstream British, European and North American media. From 76-77 is when Bob took really off internationally
I used to see Alan & Bob Marley play soccer when he used to live at Water St off Windward Rd in Franklyn town in the early 70s Bob,Peter, Bunny always be there .
I truly remember him as kid...He really was one of Bob's truest friends..God Bless you brother and finally somebody genuine talking about Bob Marley...So sick of the bias,bitter and ignorance out there from some people... Really glad this gentleman spoke here
First of all, respect to Mr Cole, but I have an issue with him judging a movie he hasn't seen. He is obviously making his assessment on hear say. I sense a rift between him and the Marley family.. Why would the Marley family not retain him as a consultant for the movie if he was Bob's friend..doesn't look like the relationship between Ziggy Marley and Alan Cole are as cozy as there were between Bob and Alan...and I bet you the Marleys have their own story why
Great hearing from our legend & seeing him looking in good health. But how can someone criticize and condemn what he hasn't seen, and doesn't intend to see?
How would Ziggy and Rita have in depth knowledge into Bob and Cindy's relationship? As far as they know, she was another one of Bob's extramarital affairs and yet another baby mother as they were so many. My biggest question, which others should ask theirselves as well, is: HOW IS BOB'S AFFAIR WITH CINDY AND THEIR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BE RELEVANT IN THE MOVIE? Why would they need to show clips into their affair. This movie was focused on sections of his musical journey. If they inserted Cindy more than they did, they would have to insert all his other affairs and baby mamas which is not what the movie was about. They did mention them collectively in the Bob and Rita fight in France. What more do people need? The movie did not go in depth in Bob and Rita's relationship either, except the fight in France and the phone booth call to England. She was prominent in the movie because she was always around as his backup singer. And quite frankly she was thee most significant woman in Bob's life and remained his wife. Who wah vex vex. Bob's friend Allan seems very bias and can only speak from his side and what Bob chose to tell him so he does not know everyone's truth.
FACTS Cindy was one of many of Bob other women, then all the other women should be highlighted too right only one Bob was married to was Rita Marley/ She continued his legacy alongside his children. UNDERSTAND WHY COLE WAS NOT CONSULTED FOR THE MOVIE
Great response and I totally agree with you. I enjoyed the movie and me and my son cannot stop crying afterwards. in order to show everything about him the movie will have to be almost 5 hours long. The point was who he was to change it he made and I was always his queen Rita.
Mr Cole is saying the movie is a lie and he hasn’t seen it. SMH! It’s a movie, scenes will be dramatized. He is here acting as if he was sleeping and living in the same room as Bob and Rita everyday. As it relates to Cindy, her character was referenced in the movie. Ziggy wanted to tell the story of the relationship between his parents during two of the roughest years of his father’s life and it was well told. Rita has always been by Bob’s side. Where is the lie in this? Cindy’s social media post was inappropriate! She had a relationship with Rita’s husband for the world to see in the late 70’s. This must’ve been humiliating for Rita. Don’t rub it in 2024. We already know the deal; Bob had several women, including Cindy. Let it rest!
Not only that, Cindy is married, not just once at that. Where’s the respect for her now husband, she too much mannn! We get it, so what like she was the only baby mother! She need to rest it! All who wanted to see more of her/ themselves can go make their own movie! All of the haters vex cause Rita ended up being Victor‼️ He knew him the most like so many others, they couldn’t get Bob to divorce Rita all when they were pushing him to, a dat him and the rest vex bout. Cindy was her happy, yet Rita remained his wife, and when all other women had his children he brought them to Rita, that’s said a lot about who Bob who ppl claim that he preferred Cindy, but in what way 🤷🏽♀️
Y’all act like the movie portrayed some grand love story between Bob and Rita. She said in her book that they were like brother and sister that’s exactly what the movie depicted. She also wrote that both her and Bob got physical with each other on numerous occasions so that scene where she slapped him may have not been accurate but abuse did happen on both ends. The movie was about the message and what happened after his assassination attempt. Ziggy has made that clear it was not a biopic. People want Bob and Cindy to be more than it was but his actions stated otherwise. He was married whether he told people or said it in interviews he was married and he could have easily gotten divorced. In both his mother Cedella’s book and Rita’s book they talk about how Cindy was upset that Bob wouldn’t divorce Rita to marry her. She was just around all the time but she wasn’t the only one or the love of his life. Bob had 3 kids by 3 different women BEFORE Rita had Stephanie then 4 more after that. Rita didn’t have another kid until 5 years after Bob passed. Rita accepted all of his kids and made sure they stayed together. She admits she had another relationship too it’s no secret. Cindy was married 3 months after Bob died. He sent her away in the end Rita was there.
@@ashlynella6227Rita had one last daughter Serita 5 years after Bob passed by Ital Stewart, her daughter Stephanie is also by Ital but Bob adopted her so she’s a Marley
@BbyShay 😅there's no paper work of any adoption,that was for damage control,Rita name the kid marley,yet she another kid for the same man after marley died,how did that make sense,why you never gave the first kid her father's name? Yet choose to have another kid with the same man years later?she gave Bob a jacket in an attempt to cover her infidelity.while Bob was bold with his.thats how I see it,she and ital was a couple right throughout she and Bob.
@@skemolehgen7543right, she said in her book that her and Ital were together and Bob knew it just like she knew about his other women. They had an agreement to just be friends but remained married supposedly he wanted to rekindle with Rita before he became terminally ill. But I also don’t understand why Stephanie took on the Marley name only Rita, Bob, and Ital know that. My guess is Bob having already had multiple children on Rita knew he didn’t have any room for judgement and accepted the child like Rita has accepted all of his regardless she’s a Marley to the family.
So many children were made after Cindy … Cindy was just another baby mother I’m afraid ..she didn’t convict him into monogamy .. the man had another woman pregnant while he was dying … if she had gotten him to stop being a gyallis then I would have been interested in her part .. but if it’s just another baby mama they would’ve had to highlight allll the others … I would’ve just left them out too… let’s be honest … people only feel so strongly because Cindy was their precious Ms World or whatever .. but the evidence shows that many children were conceived after their relationship … she was as special as all the others … but Rita secured Bobs legacy
if you are judging by that then Rita was just another too... point is during that era while he was in England - Cindy was a huge part of his life. He wrote songs about there. Some of his biggest love songs were about her.
@@silvalopesandre242hmmm she says its about her, Rita says she heard it was about Cindy. Bob didnt leave any messages to indicate that. So Rita getting the royalties!
@@AmidatYeah but LEGALLY he married her that's legacy. Didnt divorce her, that's commitment and he also wrote pimpers paradise for Cindy. Go listen to that one.
I cant wait for Allan skill cole book tell the truth man hole truth nothing but the truth Bob really does deserve it. The reason everybody gravitates towards Bob is because he stands for every man and woman he told the truth only the truth.
@@selmae.890Bc there was too much red tape. The Marley family contributed to that film based on restrictions. Imagine if Spike Lee directed/produced it.
Skill Cole remember him though I was small during his time . I just completed the new Bob Marley movie online in Florida late afternoon eastern March sixth 2024 and enjoyed every single second and minute of it and will see again in two or three months . It is very successful world wide be good got a few nominations in the 2025 Oscars . Kinsley Ben Adir who I remember from growing up in the UK and enjoyed the many brilliant things he has done over the years , did a very excellent portrayal of Mr Marley , and even Ziggy Marley and his siblings approved of it , and said that Kinsley Ben Adir never once mimic his father . I recommend to go and see it . I am not disputing what Skill Cole says , he was one of the closest friends and aides to Bob Marley so he knows everything that went on no question on that . Still me personally glad to have seen the movie , glad to have lived to see it .
Jamaicans are users , they complain that they should have used a Jamaican to play bob but what have Jamaica done for bob marley ? They used bob marley image music and character to promote Jamaica tourism and Reggae but what did they name after bob Marley? You can’t name a airport or put his face on our money but we can name places after people who don’t nothing for Jamaica 🇯🇲?
@@devonperry but he’s good to be used to promote Jamaica 🇯🇲 and tourism? lol 😂 if bob was a clean shaved blonde hair white man he would be good enough?
@@Page1travelfitness Try again! The average Jamaican does not have control over how tourism is promoted. The vast majority of resorts in Jamaica are owned by foreign companies. I wasn't implying that Bob Marley wasn't good enough to be put on our money or have an airport named in his honour. Smply saying that the people who want to see a Jamaican play Bob have no control over how Bob is honoured.
I said this long before this interview. Skill Cole should have been interviewed for this movie! No one, not even the children, knows Bob like Skill. So, if the idea was to represent as truthfully as possible, a little part of the man Bob's life, then that would certainly have been a prerequisite.
What you wrote above is the logical conclusion that any objective individual should arrive at. Imagine, you attempting to tell ah story about a man - and don't consult with him brethren from time? How cyan dat be an accurate story??? Big up @lBumpg*****
Let's just celebrate the greatness of Bob Marley he made his mark on the world despite his personal flaws. Bob Marley legacy lives on in his music and his children, Favorite Redemption Songs ❤❤❤
Ziggy told the story from his point of view. He has a right to tell his father's story the way he wants to. It's a great movie and Kingsley did a great job! The movie is not about Bob's baby mommas!
Thank you. Respect to Cindy but if she wasn’t Miss World and White so much would not be said about her. What about Bob’s other lovers and baby mothers. Was Bob any more a sinner than all the other men of his time? Rita was his wife, not Cindy… show some love and respect for the woman who did for Bob what Cindy was not in a position to do and while at it, give some respect to Damion too!
He speaking from the clips seen and one doesn't have to see picture to be turned off and he said it that box never happened and would have infuriate Bob. The man was Bob's best friend, he was there long before Rita and knew him more than Rita, so why challenge the man input. We who are real fans know that was a love story and a water down version of Bob's life and clearly whatever romantic love Bob had for Rita was long pass. For a man to constantly going on interviews and referring to Rita as his sister and he was never married says a lot about a man and his headspace. Most of these women was clueless Bob a married man, because he was going around telling all these lies.
What u expect a 10 part series about all his side pieces...so sit down somewhere his kids are not trying to tear down thier father's image because having such a film sure would.
The movie was good, in my opinion. It wasn't about Bob's women that he had it was more about the politics in Jamaica at that time and how he helped bring the two parties together. It did not go indebt about his extra martial affairs, and it did not single out any specific women he was with at that time but his wife, although we did see a glimpse of Cindy here and there. So why do people think it was so significant for that to be added. People just enjoy too much negative drama. Was Mr. Cole there when Rita and Bob had that argument? He never said he was, so how can he say it was not true. Whether she slapped or boxed him, it didn't matter he never said that argument never took place. There were many aspects to Bob's life that we could write or do a movie on. For example, his group the Wailers, his tours around the world, the women in his life, not just Cindy, his childhood, his love of football, etc.... the list goes on. They chose to share their recollection of what they remembered. We need to move on.
Wait. You think a woman who claims Bob used kill her wid lick was able to box him in an empty Paris street and walk away like a boss? LOL...ok, 'Sista Gurlfren' And get this, Bob and Cindy were together during that period the film is set in, hence the film is pure lies. As if Bob just discovered her 'new man' in 1977, when in fact Rita breed for that same man in 1974. The same child that Bob adopted and gave his last name. Facts are important. If the movie was set in 76-78, then it would show Rita having to sleep in separate rooms on tour while Bob and Cindy were living together. As for that song he sang to Rita...lol. MORE LIES. The same song she is in a documentary stating she refused to sing back up on because he wrote it for Cindy??? Keep on living in denial. Just like how Rita forged Bob's signature, she and Ziggy trying to trick the masses, but we who are old enough to know the truth...
@mature1ca It still didn't matter. Rita was his wife! Many other things happened with Bob during that period of time. Let's not glorify the behavior and put these women against each other. As far as we know Rita took care of all the children Bob took home as her own. She's no saint and Cindy fell in love with a man who made her feel the way a woman should feel. Go figure she's not the only other woman Bob had; neither you nor I was there, and for me as a black woman, it's time to move past the wifey vs matey mentality. I said what I said as an opinion of my feelings and that's where I'm leaving it. 💯
@@mature1caYou seem to know so much then why didn't you apply for the director position. It's not our lives and this is there recollection of the events in his life. I enjoyed the movie and yes I've watched many documentaries on Bob. The way it sounds it's as if your angry, I'm not!
Everybody coming out saying Cindy was his true love. When did Bob say that? He didn’t even say it directly to his friends or to her because none of them actually said he said this. Just assumption. What special public place he take her out and paparazzi catch them together? Stop it man. She got more attention cause she was Miss world and SHE made it known they were together. When the hype was dying down around her, she run to have a baby for him. He slept with her friend and her friend sister. Could there be more disrespect than that?? He even move on to another Miss Jamaica 1977 Sandra Kong that didn’t participate in Miss world because she had morals unlike Breakspare. Google her name, Bob even had her in hand carrying her around like they were stepping over the threshold after wedding 😂😂😂
Thank you. I don't know why people keeping this foolishness alive. If Bob was sooooo in love and wanted to stay with Cindy, he could have divorced Rita and married her. Now I understand why Skill Cole wasn't involved in the movie. He is one of them caught on the Cindy train and continues to disrespect Rita. Imagine asking the man's legal wife and children making a movie to include his mistress because she is more famous than the other mistresses. She is famous only because she is the only one who keeps talking. Rohan Marley talks about the film, do you hear him griping about his mother not being in their. The audacity of these people. Skill Cole and Cindy and all those rooting for her needs to go make their own film. The stupidity of it all 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Is like people can't talk about Bob without them wanting Cindy to be included as if she wad the be all and end all of Bob. Why you think she moved on so quickly and got married 3 months after Bob died, because he had moved on and she knew she wasn't the only one and would never be. Kmt 🤦🏽♀️🙄
@@besgordonexactly. I feel like these ppl coming out against Rita are the same ones that may have found it funny how Bob treated her while he was alive. And they hate that she got the last laugh
I totally agree, a lot of these so called critics haven't even seen the movie. I watched it and I did see Cindy and Damian featured in it. (While Bob was on the payphone talking to Rita and the clip of Bob standing next to Cindy wearing her Miss World sash. Rita waa holding a young Damian while they all gathered around him and his guitar). But no matter what you do in life, there will always be critics. Lovely movie ❤
Watched the movie but agree with some of Allan Skill Cole's sentiments. Of course, he should watch it first. Things should be shown as they were and not how we want them to be. Men had a lot of women in the 70s, classism has always been Jamaica's biggest Black Swan. However, it's a Biopic. Don't reinvent the story. Just tell it. The deal is this, people abroad don't know the story so whatever they saw, they believed as the story. Simple.
I admired Skill Cole when he was a soccer player, also a friend of Bob, However, the fact is that Bob was a married man with a wife and children. I don't care how much of a time Cindy spent with Bob, remember he also spent tine with several other women, which doesn't make it right If course, most Jamaican men don't think anything wrong with Bob's affairs, because that's their way. This terribly wrong. Cindy on the other hand,thinks of herself as better than Rita, and deserves to be a major part of the film. When you are messsing with a married man, this is what happens. Even if he and his wife was separated - he was still married. People should just lea .
People should just leave Bob's children alone for making the movie The movie is done and doing well All who are criticizing it, is not going to change the fact that it is done. Enough!
@@joanwalker324 if you are buying a product that you are not familiar with, wouldn't you want to hear the opinions of other who are familiar with that product? Not everyone has seen the movie yet and different people have different expectations. There is merit in critiquing a movie that is already made.
Definitely, and with Damian’s legacy she can tone it down, his legacy speaks volumes, which will highlight her, she can’t hide, everyone will know who she is, so she nu have to a gawn so strong. especially since she’s also a married woman. You’d never believe that she’s married. She’s the Jada Smith of Jamaica
@@AndrewPalmeyes he might have been. But that don’t mean she not a side chick. Your emotions clouding your judgment. Anybody sleeping with a married man is a what???? A mistress or a side chick
@@shedparker How many more books on Bob's life will be out for sale? I just hope they're not full of lies or else there'll be lawsuits for slander/defamation of character.
Respect the black woman Rita! There would be no Bob without her. Saying that Cindy shouldve been in the movie is disrespectful. Ms Cindy got married 3 months after Bob died and Bob never left his wife for her. That sounds like real love to you? So No, Cindy needs to sit her behind down and he's out of order for vouching for Cindy. Ziggy and Cedella tactfully shut that narrative down so he needs to respect it.
What's with the patronizing of Cindy? The lady WAS NOT MARRIED to Bob Marley, no matter how rosy they try to speak of her and no matter what issues were between Bob and Rita. He was a married man and broke his vow-- and Cindy knew he was married. "It's not fair"? How about 'it was not fair' to Rita & her children?? Lunatics!
So what marriage don't mean nothing smh people change their mind every day and break promises all the time they got married at 20 what yall consider to be kids in modern society
No he never broke his vow 😂😂😂 bob is a rasta he didnt marry in a Christian church with christian rules... rasta believe in scatter seed and his union created DAMIAN MARLEY SO CLEARLY IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO... Get your head out of that colonizer mindset brother. Bob was a legend and a true hero.
Bob had already moved on to Pascaline Bongo, daughter of Omar Bongo, the dictator of Gabon after Cindy. And he also had an affair with Yvette Crichton, the mother of his youngest child, Makeda Jahnesta Marley, who was born a few weeks after his death. So it's pretty obvious that Cindy was not the one and only. The one he married and stayed married to through it all was Rita -- no one can take that away from Rita, no matter what happened on the side during that marriage. I adore Bob, his music and his message of peace and unity, and personally, I'm glad that ONE LOVE did not become sidetracked with one or the other extramarital affairs Bob had. The focus of that movie was the scary event that led to Bob writing and recording the amazing album EXODUS, which was named the 20th Century's most important album by Time magazine. Emphasizing extramarital affairs would have detracted from the music and the movie IMHO.
In Vineyard Town? I went to XLCR high school with his son in the 80s and use to go by his house in Vineyard town after school. Saw the legend in person and wasn’t aware of how much an icon he was back then.
I think Alan should still watch the movie for Bob❤💚💛🖤good luck to Skill Cole and the book,,,i also want Cindy to come out with a book becuz her whole entire life was not about she and Bob alone❤
Why are people so interested in wanting to turn this movie in to a scandalous love story. People just love mix up. They are missing the true essence of the movie, which is the impact that Bob's music had on the world and his message. The movie addressed the infidelities and moved TF on as they should. This is not a Skill Cole or Cindy film, they wanna make their own then they are free to do so. Mi nuh care though.
Well you already know, everybody have an opiton on SM, all when a fuxkry them a say, as way Cold say they weren't round so u ago get a full deep orgainc analysis on the susject you just use the little data that out, but for somebody that was actually there its like night and day, Killa say a thing it might have go over most ppl head, the man say the more the the phone dem and tech them a get smarter ppl a get dumber .. a real talk that, thing whole situration is good example of that ..
BOB'S MOM SED DEY USED TO FITE..THATS WAT D 'BOX' SIGNIFIED..U WANT ZIGGY DID FI PUT BOB BEATING UP ON RITA?? DAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 'FINANCIAL SUICIDE' ..ME TOO MOVEMENT WOULD HAVE WOULD HAVE CANCELLED BOB..PEOPLE, EVERYTHING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE WRITTEN 'WORD FOR WORD@@ke5146
People should really stop to complain... You miss the point! It is just wonderful to see that Bobs close friend does so well! He is razor-sharp in his thoughts! No beating around the bushes, no personal criticism, no hard feelings. But he pointed out a really important thing. Bob loved many woman, maybe Rita and Cindy the most... only he will know. But they where at his side at the end, and they still share their love for him. So... so much love and positivity in this video, and all Skill gets for it is negative talk-back? I man seh: no good thing ever came out of negative words.
@@lorriethomas148 What would he get out of it? His book is not out yet, not sure if it ever will be published. And as he said, he was a soccer player, not on Marleys Payroll then, nor on the Marley Estate Payroll now. As far as I see it, it's the most unbiased look on film and legacy put out since the movie came out. I still liked the movie... but it's biased towards the people who made it, and the picture of Bob they wanted to share. which is kind of natural.
Who will be there to verify his book. Who is to say that what he's writing is the truth. Everyone spent time with Bob, I understand he was a best friend, but all best friends don't know everything about their best friend. Was he there when the box happened? He made no mention of it. Bob was very jealous of Rita as he was of Cindy, I'm sure, but he's not there for their pillow talks. So he can not say it didn't happen if he wasn't there.... just my opinion🤷🏾♀️
Bob's life story cannot be condensed to a mere 2 hours movie or so etc., impossible. You would require a 365 / 2 hrs documentary to come closed. Bob's financial contribution towards one of my close family member's house purchases, speaks volumes. Vere Technical Baller fi Life, raspect🙏. S.I.P Bob 🇨🇦.
@@queenieny4654 definitely will win awards. Look at the Grammy year by year. Marleys always win because the people who vote on the grammys don't know much about reggae and they recognize the Marley name, so that's who they vote for. My sources for this is a former voting member. I left because Grammys are just a popularity contest and not a measure of actual success or talent.
I think Allan is using his friendship with Bob to demote him and promote Cindy as well as himself. You are being irresponsible for using hearsay to criticize the movie when, like everybody else, you can see it for yourself. Go see it and come again.
What’s the confusion …The story was told by Rita and Ziggy …it’s from their point of View …If Cindy want to make a Bob movie from her point of view I’m sure she will have a different story to tell !
@@MickSupper Ziggy and the director have both gone out of their way in interview after interview to point out that this movie is only about a 2 year period in Bob's life. They've repeatedly said it is not a movie about his whole life, but instead it is a movie about the turmoil, angst and creativity that resulted from the dramatic event where Bob, Rita and his manager were shot resulting with him leaving Jamaica for London where he made the acclaimed Exodus recording. There is no way Bob's whole impactful life could be told in the span of one single movie. Neither the Marleys nor the directors and producers of this movie are responsible for random members of the public thinking otherwise. As I said, they've gone out of their way to explain this, but they are not responsible for other people inferring anything other than what they've declared.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Cindy were good friends to this day. He’s doing the most to defend her and Bob’s adulterous affair. He’s disgusting to say that her post to Bob on his birthday was appropriate. Smh.
Very true. This movie was heavily doctored to boost certain interested peoples' big egos and agendas. A biopic or a biography should be courageous enough to highlight both the beauty and the warts of the subject under discussion. Panel beating the truth is both dishonest and unfortunate.
May I suggest that who ever wants to see this great love story of Bob and one of his many outside baby mothers go and make their own damn movie ? 🙄. For someone who didn’t actually watch the movie, that man is strongly opinionated about it 🤣.
Cindy wasn't omitted from the film. She was in the background where side chicks belong. I saw her several times in the movie. Had she been the only woman to have a baby with Bob outside of his marriage, maybe she could be considered special. She was one of many. Cindy role in Bob story doesn't highlight his legacy, only his character flaws…the family chose to focus on Bob's legacy of his music and message not his personal life otherwise each woman and her pickney would have to be featured.
I am baffled...how can someone factually critique and have such a strong opinion of a film they haven't seen for themself. Is it mere "hear say" that you are going by to draw such a strong conclusion? How about watching the film then you can have a stronger argument to your point.
He made it clear that from the clips he saw that were lies made him not interested. He was one of Bob’s best friends and as he said he was there with him most of the times.even from Bobs mothers book and even Rita’s book we can absolutely tell that this so-called Bio pic is a fictional story that Rita and Ziggy wished was the actual case, sadly it’s not.
@@BoosieLoo but you must’ve listened to some degree because here you are criticising what he’s said, you see the double standards here? He’s seen enough from the clips to make up his mind that he’s not interested in Rita and her forgeries any more.
@@fortis17 and I disagree. If I know a person personally and I see more than 1 clip of a supposedly bio pic about them showing lies, hearing from others that certain people in that particular time wasn’t featured etc, I too wouldn’t be interested and again he did not critique the film he clearly stated he wasn’t interested in watching it based on the clips and what he was told. He answered the questions he was asked honestly, he didn’t make a video bashing the film, he was asked and he answered honestly.
What significant role did Cyndi play? I'm genuinely intrigued to know. Because really, the story was to depict Bob’s success to fame and not necessarily his personal affairs.
She even said uptown girls never got involved with Rastas. She didnt even want Bob until she saw his rise to fame. That's the true love that people are talking about? 😆🤣🤣
Although I don’t support adultery, AT ALL! …it’s undeniable that his relationship with Cindy played a role in his success because she won Miss World during the early stages of their affair, & that helped him cross over to the “international” market. The Miss World competition was a huge deal at that time. That’s not to take away from Rita & her sacrifices, but unfortunately, multiple things can be true at the same time.
The movie was not called Bob and Cindy 😅 she was apart of his life but he had many children we woulda been in the theatre all night long if they highlighted every child mother 😂😂😂 this movie was about his legacy and what brought him to his beliefs. Let’s leave it at that. I enjoyed it, it was tastefully done. Also Cindy is not light skin she is white.
People like Skill and Garrick will know way more about Marley than his children. You cannot admit that Bob was hardly around and then claim that's your father, and you alone can tell his story. The movie isn't about truth, it is about money from name and image rights. The Marley Industrial Complex doesn't make significant money from black people. I'll bet that university students around the world are the greatest contributors to the Marley coffers, so products will be designed for them.
exactly... all these big mouth people on here making comments have no clue about the truth... they just don't want to hear truth. I mean we almost never hear anyone talk of the drug usage... people prefer to believe myths about their heroes than the real truth.
If Cindy must be in the movie all babymammas must be in it and the gabon princess and anderson all him ada side gal dem whe him write songs for. Cindy always wa upstage Rita like she was his wife. That is why people rub har out all the time and we na gu stop. Was Allan their in Europe when Bob get the box? Dem notice di scene was with Rita and Bob alone? Uno truly think I tell my friends all that my husband has done? Uno see Bob as a Lion but sometimes lioness mash dem up 😂😂
Jah Blessings, Skill Cole, you look good. I remember Skill Cole and Bob in Vineyard Town back in the days. However, Ziggy is a producer of the movie. Respectfully, it is portaryed from the perspective of Rita and Bob's family unit. Cindy can produce her own movie.
WERE THEY LOVERS????? WERE THEY FAMILY???? IF NOT, THEN THEY WERE JUST GOOD FRIENDS, POINT BLANK N PERIOD...Y EVERYBODY WANTS TO TELL A 'WIFE'S N SON'S STORY ABOUT THEIR LOVE ONE? U ALL DONT HAVE D RIGHT!!!!!!
Give thanks! Totally agree. I had the honor to joggling with him at Bull bay (Cable Hut Beach). I never knew that was him...just hours later when Lion from Mystic Revealers told me. A JAMAICAN THIN! SEEN...??? RESPECT
Alan needs to sit down. So glad he had no input in this movie. Imagine asking a man's wife and children who are making a movie about his life to make it more about one of his mistresses. He obviously favours Miss Brown and Uptown. He is supporting the foolishness and don't even realize his own classist bigotry. So because she is beautiful and a miss world, she is entitled to Bob more than is legal wife because she is not up to the standard of beauty set by this world? She wouldn't have wanted him if he wasn't known so there is that. Rita has never denied that they had separate lives including the fact she was more guardian than wife. Bob never got divorced he had his reasons. And most married men lie about being married, that's not new. If he was so in love with Cindy and wanted to be with her long term, he could easily have divorced Rita but he didn't. Someone shouted at me basically in another post saying Cindy and Bob were together for 6 years even up to his death. Listen to her interviews and look at the time lines. She has clearly stated in more than one interview that she and Bob had broken up "because she was restructuring her life". At that point she would have realized that Bob was not getting a divorce and she would never be the only one. She would have also met her first husband around that time, marrying him 3 months after Bob died. Bob also moved on and had one more child the same year he died. So Cindy was special only at the time she was special...don't make this more than it was people. A man writing a song for his mistress means she was his muse who inspired it, doesn't mean anything more than that if he doesn't make her his wife. Lots of great artiste have had mistresses as muses but never married them. If Bob was so in love, he would have done what John Lennon did, divorce and marry her. Yes she was there during his illness and death because she was mother to one of his child and Rita was never one to stand in anyone's way. Cindy herself as said we were all there, don't know if that includes any of the other mothers, but who knows. I don't have a problem with her having a child with Bob, we can't change history, it's already done. Where the issues comes in is she has clearly stated her position...she is honoured "to be connected to the greatest legacy that has come out of Jamaica." That is her validation...that is her life and she will hold on to that for dear life. Will probably put it on her tombstone. She doesn't care about anyone's feelings or how it might impact anyone else, as long as she continues to make it known that she is connected to Bob. The other mothers have kept quiet, she should too. Her son is the one who should honour his father and she needs to honour her now husband. Can't believe people think a mistress should get the same honour as a legal wife just because she is beautiful and a few songs were written for her. Bob had all the other women over the place just the same, we only hear about this one because she was Miss World and mostly because she keeps talking about it. There should be an expiration date on talking about ones affair. The movie has been made and it has been a success and now all who never had anything to do with it feels bad. Hush get over it. The audacity. Don't worry Alan, we don't care that you don't see it...it is making money. You obviously don't like Rita, we good. You notice it's just about the box...yeah Alan, we get that you don't like Rita. I bet your book won't do as well as thia movie. Michael Abrahams the reason why there is so much hatred towards Cindy is because she is the only one who keeps talking about her affair. People are tired of it 🙄
I use to listen to Bob Marley everyday while in undergrad school.I had these Friends from the Caribbean. IT was the first music I heard that did not focus on chasing women, drugs or partyingg
DEAD MAN TELL NO TALE. The movie is NOT about BOB, FRIENDS and SIDE DISHES. It is about BOB , RITA, and their CHILDREN Skill stop chat RUBBISH, without RITA there would be no BOB. The producers is RITA, CEDILLA, ZIGGY, All who a chat guh write yuh own book and mek yuh own movies. Have no sey if you did not go and see ONE LOVE ❤️💛💚 I went enjoyed it immensely. Will definitely be going to see it again.
The film is rubbish and calling it one love it should be called Rita's Revenge and what else is annoying the groups licky licky attitude with Bob its sycophantic behavior, the film is pathetic
Cindy was very much in the movie. She was there standing outside in the cold and among the throng of women seated on the couch waiting for Bob. The movie accomplished Marley's mission on Earth. Not his side shows, Thank God. Someone else can do those. And l would not be interested.
@alliberry26 Not my fault that you you feel so left out and haven't seen the real essence of the natural mystic that flowed through Bob ala the inspiration of Selassie and Rastafari message of peace and love to the world throughout the movie.
@@Thats-is-it Stop splitting a strawn of hair. Selassie Rastafari Africa Repartriation Our Father's land... Exodus .... On and on...are all one and the same message throughout the movie. Open your eyes and look within...
My biggest thing is that he kept saying that the movie is fake because of the box. Such a small part of the movie, which was well done. It hinted at the extramarital affairs they both had...afterall, that was indeed a part of their history. It wasn't overly done...it was subtle. However, it was appropriate. He sounds a bit bitter...and I think his book coming out now is to ride the coat tail of the movie. Just saying!!! He wasn't on the payroll, he will try and cash in now!
“Catch a Fire, The Life of Bob Marley” doesn’t paint Skill Cole in a very good light. Read it yourself. His reluctance to watch the movie gives the impression that he’s bitter.
Rita was clear about all that happened, she once said that she was on a mission. I feel Rita did all she could, that is the reason why Bob Marley succeeded in his life time, and after his life on earth. She is a great Lady! She is the " Real Queen"
who cares about his women? I don't.... However, I do care about his political and spiritual message and actions. About his music which elevated Black consciousness all over the world.
If he was real he would have seen the movie and formed his own opinions. His comments aren’t valid because they are based on hearsay. He’s in his feelings because he wasn’t consulted for the movie. It was a good movie, it’s Hollywood so obviously they will cut and add stories.
Made by paramount pictures..so they wldnt try to Respect and empower Bobs MoveMent..theyd try to oppress and misguide and abuse..they are of the oppresser..il c the movie for the good in it..but will be Defencive against paramount oppressive habits tricks..probly want to belittle Bob and misguide and get many to smoke weed..God Does Not do drugs..I Believe Bobs In Heaven so Bob Knows Not To smoke weed..and God Is Always completely Spiritual and never has a materialbody even when Incarnating on Earth..Simple qk test to see those who claim to be God Are Not..rastafari halle sallassi had a materialbody so Not God..sai baba had a materialbody so Not God..If You Listen To How Bob Says Things Nowadays In His Music Etc Of Course He Says Jah!!! Gods Reggae NickName..But He no longer says Jah!!Rastafari!!!!..as He Knows now rastafari is not God..a good example is at the end of could you be Loved..THE PEOPLE Know Bob Already..paramount cant mess with That no matter what..And The People Know To Learn Of Bob From The People..il watch for The Good..Hope It Helps Bob Reachin The World More so From Heaven..As He Always Will With All His Music Etc..

Truth! Bob Marley was destined to be famous from birth IMHO. In my 75 year lifetime of seeing and appreciating a wide berth of musicians starting with Ricky Nelson to Elvis, the Doors, the Beatles, the Stones, Queen, Dylan, Creedence and so many, many others -- Bob Marley stands out as a songwriter, performer, singer, and entertainer with an aura, a style, a charisma and message so unique as to be totally in a category all his own. He was unlike anyone else. Bob's spectacular music and universal message of peace, equality and unity should be the focus, not whatever human frailties he might have had.
So he hasn’t seen the movie...but it’s not true. Then he wants the children to disrespect their mother by featuring their father’s side chick. The way Cindy was featured in the movie was tastefully done. They could have omitted her from the movie. People have to understand the movie was about a particular time in this man’s life. It’s not about his love life. I’m so glad it’s doing great international once again some Jamaicans busy criticizing the movie. They can’t see what an honor it is that one of our own has had a movie made about their life. So Jamaicans let us take pride in that stop the negativity.
Rita and Bob was together in that particular time? Really. Wasn’t it shown in the show that he knew about her man ( the scene where she actually wished she boxed him) the fact that he knew and still went to an event with her tells you that it was a business relationship.
Did you listen to what the man actually said? He said Cindy was a huge part of Bob’s success also because of the miss world thing, isn’t she part of the reason he was so accepted internationally and not by the ghetto communities? Is she Damian Marley’s mother? Cindy Breakspear relationship was more broadcast more than his marriage to Rita to be honest, it’s after Bob died and Rita and her Kids got control she got a spotlight in his life.
@@lorriethomas148 really? Is Cedella, Stephen and Stephanie really Bob’s? Because they’re conflicting reports out there. Bunny Wailer said Cedella was a raffle amongst Himself,Peter Tosh but he said she really belonged to Planno, I mean he was there when that rumour was circulating amongst them which clearly suggests Rita was a pass round donkey.you’re here saying Damian is not Bob’s however Cindy wasn’t married to him and she surly didn’t forge Bobs signature like Rita did with Stephanie for sure.
@@Winter74575, so I guess you were there when Rita, was being passed around? At the end of the day Rita was Bob’s wife. It doesn’t not matter what Bob says or you in the eyes of God almighty they were MARRIED…end of STORY. DNA wasn’t taken apparently of his alleged children, but I still say what my eyes see, and that’s Cindy’s son looks like Skill Cole. Whatever your eyes see is what they see. So stop trying to change people’s opinions and go take a seat b/c you weren’t there, but God is every where, and that’s all that matters. Good bye and good night! No need to reply back please and thank you….
I agree with skill cole but at the same time I am glad the movie came out because it can be an introduction to Bobs life, rastafari and reggae music to the new generations . Bob life was very interesting and there are many points of views. I have a feeling that ziggy waited for some people to die involved in bobs life so he can make that movie because we all know if bunny wailer was here he wouldn’t let the movie come out the way it did, leaving out Peter,bunny and skill cole as an important part of the story.Rita became more like a sister through out the marriage Bob loved her and Rita did a lot for him but the relationship changed in the romantic side. She was the only Rasta woman in his life and his first love, so she deserves a lot of appreciation and he loved Cindy very much she wasn’t a side chick like some people say. Whatever people want to judge it doesn’t matter, I’m glad all of his children are here continuing his legacy and spreading reggae music and the message of rastafari all across the world.
Listen. Ziggy wanted ro make sure thst he honored his mother in this movie who was the Actually Queen of the empire. Every outside women was just that! A concubine. Facts! And you can love your comcubine, but they can never take the Queen's crown. More facts!
Why does this Cindy woman keep inserting herself into the conversation. She was 1 of like 6 other woman Bob got with outside of his marriage. All the others mind their business. Their kids are grown and they give Rita the space, respect and right to tell her story with Bob. But this Cindy woman like… Lord have mercy woman… his legacy doesn’t need to revolve around you. People don’t have an issue with her because she’s white. They have an issue with her because she doesn’t know her place, nor does she respect Rita’s place. I don’t care how important she believes she was to Bobs life towards the end of his life.
He looks dam good for his age can you imagine if Bob Marley was still alive? Bob Marley would probably look as good as that also.
Because he was an athlete, Majority of people who played sports usually age gracefully.
The majority of Jamaican men is age look good for their age🇯🇲🇯🇲🫣
I met Malachi a friend of Bobs looked like Bob too met him in 95 he was around 70 he looked like 30 he passed in 2012
Also the ital food 🥑🥝 helps Fi sure
yeh and theyd still be chullin and playin football
Well it’s a good thing he married Rita… otherwise these self serving ‘friends’ and side chick would’ve made a mockery of his legacy
Lmao this movie is a mockery on his legacy.
Bobs best friend indeed ,still looking sharp as a razor.God bless you. ❤❤
Labba labba chatty long mouth 😂
Yea mo life
I love learning things I didn't know. I appreciate this man's take on it.
BOB WAS UP UP BEFORE CINDY WAS IN HIS LIFE
@@WinifredForbes-x9n no he was not he was a rising star, go and do research looking at timelines ( years)
Even though Rita’s book , it’s clear he wasn’t yet a big star before his affair with Cindy, she spoke about it her book and even implied that is one of the reasons she didn’t really fuss about it because of Beauty and the beast plans etc.
@@WinifredForbes-x9nhe wasn’t in terms of mainstream British, European and North American media. From 76-77 is when Bob took really off internationally
Dem haffi go make another movie and mek all of jamaica put in dem bit in the production...kmt

What did he say the lie was at the end ?
I could not make it out what he said
@@cameroneagle4370the bax/ patios for a slap in the face.
That’s not what Bob’s mom said in her biography….
First of all, respect to Mr Cole, but I have an issue with him judging a movie he hasn't seen. He is obviously making his assessment on hear say. I sense a rift between him and the Marley family.. Why would the Marley family not retain him as a consultant for the movie if he was Bob's friend..doesn't look like the relationship between Ziggy Marley and Alan Cole are as cozy as there were between Bob and Alan...and I bet you the Marleys have their own story why
Rita says in her book that Bob's footballer friends and others abandoned Bob in his last days.
Glad Somebody Said It👏🏾👏🏾
You often see that happening when someone else got more fame. Or got a deadly disease. Sad.

Great hearing from our legend & seeing him looking in good health. But how can someone criticize and condemn what he hasn't seen, and doesn't intend to see?
I am buying that book when it comes out...cant wait!!!
me too and hope the book come out soon.
How would Ziggy and Rita have in depth knowledge into Bob and Cindy's relationship? As far as they know, she was another one of Bob's extramarital affairs and yet another baby mother as they were so many. My biggest question, which others should ask theirselves as well, is: HOW IS BOB'S AFFAIR WITH CINDY AND THEIR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP BE RELEVANT IN THE MOVIE? Why would they need to show clips into their affair. This movie was focused on sections of his musical journey. If they inserted Cindy more than they did, they would have to insert all his other affairs and baby mamas which is not what the movie was about. They did mention them collectively in the Bob and Rita fight in France. What more do people need? The movie did not go in depth in Bob and Rita's relationship either, except the fight in France and the phone booth call to England. She was prominent in the movie because she was always around as his backup singer. And quite frankly she was thee most significant woman in Bob's life and remained his wife. Who wah vex vex. Bob's friend Allan seems very bias and can only speak from his side and what Bob chose to tell him so he does not know everyone's truth.
Thank you
FACTS Cindy was one of many of Bob other women, then all the other women should be highlighted too right only one Bob was married to was Rita Marley/ She continued his legacy alongside his children. UNDERSTAND WHY COLE WAS NOT CONSULTED FOR THE MOVIE
Thanks for this, well said‼️
Great response and I totally agree with you. I enjoyed the movie and me and my son cannot stop crying afterwards. in order to show everything about him the movie will have to be almost 5 hours long. The point was who he was to change it he made and I was always his queen Rita.
Didnt u hear skill cole . He said the celebtoty status surroinding Bob and Cindy raised his media profile and contributed to his career
Mr Cole is saying the movie is a lie and he hasn’t seen it. SMH! It’s a movie, scenes will be dramatized. He is here acting as if he was sleeping and living in the same room as Bob and Rita everyday. As it relates to Cindy, her character was referenced in the movie. Ziggy wanted to tell the story of the relationship between his parents during two of the roughest years of his father’s life and it was well told. Rita has always been by Bob’s side. Where is the lie in this? Cindy’s social media post was inappropriate! She had a relationship with Rita’s husband for the world to see in the late 70’s. This must’ve been humiliating for Rita. Don’t rub it in 2024. We already know the deal; Bob had several women, including Cindy. Let it rest!
Not only that, Cindy is married, not just once at that. Where’s the respect for her now husband, she too much mannn! We get it, so what like she was the only baby mother! She need to rest it! All who wanted to see more of her/ themselves can go make their own movie! All of the haters vex cause Rita ended up being Victor‼️ He knew him the most like so many others, they couldn’t get Bob to divorce Rita all when they were pushing him to, a dat him and the rest vex bout. Cindy was her happy, yet Rita remained his wife, and when all other women had his children he brought them to Rita, that’s said a lot about who Bob who ppl claim that he preferred Cindy, but in what way 🤷🏽♀️
Y’all act like the movie portrayed some grand love story between Bob and Rita. She said in her book that they were like brother and sister that’s exactly what the movie depicted. She also wrote that both her and Bob got physical with each other on numerous occasions so that scene where she slapped him may have not been accurate but abuse did happen on both ends.
The movie was about the message and what happened after his assassination attempt. Ziggy has made that clear it was not a biopic.
People want Bob and Cindy to be more than it was but his actions stated otherwise. He was married whether he told people or said it in interviews he was married and he could have easily gotten divorced. In both his mother Cedella’s book and Rita’s book they talk about how Cindy was upset that Bob wouldn’t divorce Rita to marry her. She was just around all the time but she wasn’t the only one or the love of his life.
Bob had 3 kids by 3 different women BEFORE Rita had Stephanie then 4 more after that. Rita didn’t have another kid until 5 years after Bob passed. Rita accepted all of his kids and made sure they stayed together. She admits she had another relationship too it’s no secret. Cindy was married 3 months after Bob died. He sent her away in the end Rita was there.
She had that kid before he passed
@@ashlynella6227Rita had one last daughter Serita 5 years after Bob passed by Ital Stewart, her daughter Stephanie is also by Ital but Bob adopted her so she’s a Marley
she also tried to rip them all off and steal bobs money by fraudalant means
@BbyShay 😅there's no paper work of any adoption,that was for damage control,Rita name the kid marley,yet she another kid for the same man after marley died,how did that make sense,why you never gave the first kid her father's name? Yet choose to have another kid with the same man years later?she gave Bob a jacket in an attempt to cover her infidelity.while Bob was bold with his.thats how I see it,she and ital was a couple right throughout she and Bob.
@@skemolehgen7543right, she said in her book that her and Ital were together and Bob knew it just like she knew about his other women. They had an agreement to just be friends but remained married supposedly he wanted to rekindle with Rita before he became terminally ill. But I also don’t understand why Stephanie took on the Marley name only Rita, Bob, and Ital know that. My guess is Bob having already had multiple children on Rita knew he didn’t have any room for judgement and accepted the child like Rita has accepted all of his regardless she’s a Marley to the family.
So many children were made after Cindy … Cindy was just another baby mother I’m afraid ..she didn’t convict him into monogamy .. the man had another woman pregnant while he was dying … if she had gotten him to stop being a gyallis then I would have been interested in her part .. but if it’s just another baby mama they would’ve had to highlight allll the others … I would’ve just left them out too… let’s be honest … people only feel so strongly because Cindy was their precious Ms World or whatever .. but the evidence shows that many children were conceived after their relationship … she was as special as all the others … but Rita secured Bobs legacy
if you are judging by that then Rita was just another too... point is during that era while he was in England - Cindy was a huge part of his life. He wrote songs about there. Some of his biggest love songs were about her.
Yup
For Bob to write a song for Cindy and make Rita sing it, she must have been special to him.
@@silvalopesandre242hmmm she says its about her, Rita says she heard it was about Cindy. Bob didnt leave any messages to indicate that. So Rita getting the royalties!
@@AmidatYeah but LEGALLY he married her that's legacy. Didnt divorce her, that's commitment and he also wrote pimpers paradise for Cindy. Go listen to that one.
I cant wait for Allan skill cole book tell the truth man hole truth nothing but the truth Bob really does deserve it. The reason everybody gravitates towards Bob is because he stands for every man and woman he told the truth only the truth.

Skill Cole remember him though I was small during his time . I just completed the new Bob Marley movie online in Florida late afternoon eastern March sixth 2024 and enjoyed every single second and minute of it and will see again in two or three months . It is very successful world wide be good got a few nominations in the 2025 Oscars . Kinsley Ben Adir who I remember from growing up in the UK and enjoyed the many brilliant things he has done over the years , did a very excellent portrayal of Mr Marley , and even Ziggy Marley and his siblings approved of it , and said that Kinsley Ben Adir never once mimic his father . I recommend to go and see it . I am not disputing what Skill Cole says , he was one of the closest friends and aides to Bob Marley so he knows everything that went on no question on that . Still me personally glad to have seen the movie , glad to have lived to see it .
I remember him because he used to come around where I went to school…he was so handsome I used to stare at him…at the time he was older than me…
True I saw it too and enjoyed myself dancing and singing in my seat went with my children…but I knew that was Rita’s version and not totally accurate…
Jamaicans are users , they complain that they should have used a Jamaican to play bob but what have Jamaica done for bob marley ?

@@devonperryexactly 😂😂
I said this long before this interview. Skill Cole should have been interviewed for this movie! No one, not even the children, knows Bob like Skill. So, if the idea was to represent as truthfully as possible, a little part of the man Bob's life, then that would certainly have been a prerequisite.

We who are real fans know that was a love story and a water down version of Bob's life and clearly whatever romantic love Bob had for Rita was long pass.

@@loveto-read912 Yuh nuh!!
@@loveto-read912 this part of his life portrayed in the movie - Cindy was the main piece though
Everyone wants a piece of the pie 😮
The movie was good, in my opinion. It wasn't about Bob's women that he had it was more about the politics in Jamaica at that time and how he helped bring the two parties together. It did not go indebt about his extra martial affairs, and it did not single out any specific women he was with at that time but his wife, although we did see a glimpse of Cindy here and there. So why do people think it was so significant for that to be added. People just enjoy too much negative drama. Was Mr. Cole there when Rita and Bob had that argument? He never said he was, so how can he say it was not true. Whether she slapped or boxed him, it didn't matter he never said that argument never took place.
There were many aspects to Bob's life that we could write or do a movie on. For example, his group the Wailers, his tours around the world, the women in his life, not just Cindy, his childhood, his love of football, etc.... the list goes on. They chose to share their recollection of what they remembered. We need to move on.
He bring the 2 Leaders together,not the 2 party together! Big big difference ❤
Wait. You think a woman who claims Bob used kill her wid lick was able to box him in an empty Paris street and walk away like a boss? LOL...ok, 'Sista Gurlfren'
And get this, Bob and Cindy were together during that period the film is set in, hence the film is pure lies. As if Bob just discovered her 'new man' in 1977, when in fact Rita breed for that same man in 1974. The same child that Bob adopted and gave his last name.
Facts are important. If the movie was set in 76-78, then it would show Rita having to sleep in separate rooms on tour while Bob and Cindy were living together. As for that song he sang to Rita...lol. MORE LIES. The same song she is in a documentary stating she refused to sing back up on because he wrote it for Cindy???
Keep on living in denial. Just like how Rita forged Bob's signature, she and Ziggy trying to trick the masses, but we who are old enough to know the truth...
Loved the movie.
@mature1ca It still didn't matter. Rita was his wife! Many other things happened with Bob during that period of time. Let's not glorify the behavior and put these women against each other. As far as we know Rita took care of all the children Bob took home as her own. She's no saint and Cindy fell in love with a man who made her feel the way a woman should feel. Go figure she's not the only other woman Bob had; neither you nor I was there, and for me as a black woman, it's time to move past the wifey vs matey mentality. I said what I said as an opinion of my feelings and that's where I'm leaving it. 💯
@@mature1caYou seem to know so much then why didn't you apply for the director position. It's not our lives and this is there recollection of the events in his life. I enjoyed the movie and yes I've watched many documentaries on Bob. The way it sounds it's as if your angry, I'm not!
Waiting for your book Mr. Skilly. One Love❤
Everybody coming out saying Cindy was his true love. When did Bob say that? He didn’t even say it directly to his friends or to her because none of them actually said he said this. Just assumption. What special public place he take her out and paparazzi catch them together? Stop it man. She got more attention cause she was Miss world and SHE made it known they were together. When the hype was dying down around her, she run to have a baby for him. He slept with her friend and her friend sister. Could there be more disrespect than that?? He even move on to another Miss Jamaica 1977 Sandra Kong that didn’t participate in Miss world because she had morals unlike Breakspare. Google her name, Bob even had her in hand carrying her around like they were stepping over the threshold after wedding 😂😂😂
Yes Cindy was not the only one.
Thank you. I don't know why people keeping this foolishness alive. If Bob was sooooo in love and wanted to stay with Cindy, he could have divorced Rita and married her. Now I understand why Skill Cole wasn't involved in the movie. He is one of them caught on the Cindy train and continues to disrespect Rita. Imagine asking the man's legal wife and children making a movie to include his mistress because she is more famous than the other mistresses. She is famous only because she is the only one who keeps talking. Rohan Marley talks about the film, do you hear him griping about his mother not being in their. The audacity of these people.
Skill Cole and Cindy and all those rooting for her needs to go make their own film. The stupidity of it all 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Is like people can't talk about Bob without them wanting Cindy to be included as if she wad the be all and end all of Bob. Why you think she moved on so quickly and got married 3 months after Bob died, because he had moved on and she knew she wasn't the only one and would never be. Kmt 🤦🏽♀️🙄
@@besgordonexactly. I feel like these ppl coming out against Rita are the same ones that may have found it funny how Bob treated her while he was alive. And they hate that she got the last laugh
Jamaican men never really publicly talk about their true love...but his friend definitely knows the truth!
Well said🎉@@besgordon
I totally agree, a lot of these so called critics haven't even seen the movie. I watched it and I did see Cindy and Damian featured in it. (While Bob was on the payphone talking to Rita and the clip of Bob standing next to Cindy wearing her Miss World sash. Rita waa holding a young Damian while they all gathered around him and his guitar). But no matter what you do in life, there will always be critics. Lovely movie ❤
Jamaica greatest foot ball
Player
Jamaica greatest liar
😂😂😂😂😂
Watched the movie but agree with some of Allan Skill Cole's sentiments. Of course, he should watch it first. Things should be shown as they were and not how we want them to be. Men had a lot of women in the 70s, classism has always been Jamaica's biggest Black Swan. However, it's a Biopic. Don't reinvent the story. Just tell it. The deal is this, people abroad don't know the story so whatever they saw, they believed as the story. Simple.
The last part is the most egregious. When they don't get it right, it becomes the narrative even when it's far from the truth.
I think that's the issue people have because if u say it's biopic then it should be the truth and that was not a true representation of Bob.
It’s not a biopic
I admired Skill Cole when he was a soccer player, also a friend of Bob, However, the fact is that Bob was a married man with a wife and children.
I don't care how much of a time Cindy spent with Bob, remember he also spent tine with several other women, which doesn't make it right
If course, most Jamaican men don't think anything wrong with Bob's affairs, because that's their way. This terribly wrong.
Cindy on the other hand,thinks of herself as better than Rita, and deserves to be a major part of the film. When you are messsing with a married man, this is what happens. Even if he and his wife was separated - he was still married.
People should just lea
.
People should just leave Bob's children alone for making the movie The movie is done and doing well
All who are criticizing it, is not going to change the fact that it is done. Enough!
According to what Rita said their marriage wasn't something plan . It appears to be an arranged marriage. Rita also was unfaithful.
Rita cheated and ended that special relationship. Bob had no loyalty to her.
@@joanwalker324 if you are buying a product that you are not familiar with, wouldn't you want to hear the opinions of other who are familiar with that product?
Not everyone has seen the movie yet and different people have different expectations. There is merit in critiquing a movie that is already made.
@@jackiemrowell4667it was done so she would get a green card in the US because his mother sponsored him and he wanted his children there too…
Cindy is a sidechick, she must respect the role of his wife.Damian is an awesome legacy to the Marley family
Definitely, and with Damian’s legacy she can tone it down, his legacy speaks volumes, which will highlight her, she can’t hide, everyone will know who she is, so she nu have to a gawn so strong. especially since she’s also a married woman. You’d never believe that she’s married. She’s the Jada Smith of Jamaica
Rastamen are polygamists as any traditional Africans rooted in their ancestry. They include all women and children in their world equally.

@@AndrewPalme He had many lives♥️♥️♥️
@@AndrewPalmeyes he might have been. But that don’t mean she not a side chick. Your emotions clouding your judgment. Anybody sleeping with a married man is a what???? A mistress or a side chick

@@byronpownall1224 We hope so! 🙏🏽
I'm happy to hear his side on things. I agree!
Respect the black woman Rita! There would be no Bob without her. Saying that Cindy shouldve been in the movie is disrespectful. Ms Cindy got married 3 months after Bob died and Bob never left his wife for her. That sounds like real love to you? So No, Cindy needs to sit her behind down and he's out of order for vouching for Cindy. Ziggy and Cedella tactfully shut that narrative down so he needs to respect it.
Yup 😂
What's with the patronizing of Cindy? The lady WAS NOT MARRIED to Bob Marley, no matter how rosy they try to speak of her and no matter what issues were between Bob and Rita. He was a married man and broke his vow-- and Cindy knew he was married. "It's not fair"? How about 'it was not fair' to Rita & her children?? Lunatics!
So what marriage don't mean nothing smh people change their mind every day and break promises all the time they got married at 20 what yall consider to be kids in modern society
No he never broke his vow 😂😂😂 bob is a rasta he didnt marry in a Christian church with christian rules... rasta believe in scatter seed and his union created DAMIAN MARLEY SO CLEARLY IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO...
Get your head out of that colonizer mindset brother. Bob was a legend and a true hero.
Bob had already moved on to Pascaline Bongo, daughter of Omar Bongo, the dictator of Gabon after Cindy. And he also had an affair with Yvette Crichton, the mother of his youngest child, Makeda Jahnesta Marley, who was born a few weeks after his death. So it's pretty obvious that Cindy was not the one and only. The one he married and stayed married to through it all was Rita -- no one can take that away from Rita, no matter what happened on the side during that marriage. I adore Bob, his music and his message of peace and unity, and personally, I'm glad that ONE LOVE did not become sidetracked with one or the other extramarital affairs Bob had. The focus of that movie was the scary event that led to Bob writing and recording the amazing album EXODUS, which was named the 20th Century's most important album by Time magazine. Emphasizing extramarital affairs would have detracted from the music and the movie IMHO.
Used to stop by his home on my way home from school and he was a very nice person.
In Vineyard Town? I went to XLCR high school with his son in the 80s and use to go by his house in Vineyard town after school. Saw the legend in person and wasn’t aware of how much an icon he was back then.
I think Alan should still watch the movie for Bob❤💚💛🖤good luck to Skill Cole and the book,,,i also want Cindy to come out with a book becuz her whole entire life was not about she and Bob alone❤
Why are people so interested in wanting to turn this movie in to a scandalous love story. People just love mix up. They are missing the true essence of the movie, which is the impact that Bob's music had on the world and his message. The movie addressed the infidelities and moved TF on as they should. This is not a Skill Cole or Cindy film, they wanna make their own then they are free to do so. Mi nuh care though.
Well you already know, everybody have an opiton on SM, all when a fuxkry them a say, as way Cold say they weren't round so u ago get a full deep orgainc analysis on the susject you just use the little data that out, but for somebody that was actually there its like night and day, Killa say a thing it might have go over most ppl head, the man say the more the the phone dem and tech them a get smarter ppl a get dumber .. a real talk that, thing whole situration is good example of that ..

@@shaniquefergusonneath2081takes some time ittnt?
People should really stop to complain... You miss the point! It is just wonderful to see that Bobs close friend does so well! He is razor-sharp in his thoughts! No beating around the bushes, no personal criticism, no hard feelings. But he pointed out a really important thing. Bob loved many woman, maybe Rita and Cindy the most... only he will know. But they where at his side at the end, and they still share their love for him. So... so much love and positivity in this video, and all Skill gets for it is negative talk-back? I man seh: no good thing ever came out of negative words.
Why? Perhaps he’s hiding the truth himself……
@@lorriethomas148 What would he get out of it? His book is not out yet, not sure if it ever will be published. And as he said, he was a soccer player, not on Marleys Payroll then, nor on the Marley Estate Payroll now. As far as I see it, it's the most unbiased look on film and legacy put out since the movie came out. I still liked the movie... but it's biased towards the people who made it, and the picture of Bob they wanted to share. which is kind of natural.
@@marcofacen9564👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@marcofacen9564he really needs to put out his book on Bob…I just finished the book from Bob’s manager…and now reading “catch a fire”
Who will be there to verify his book. Who is to say that what he's writing is the truth. Everyone spent time with Bob, I understand he was a best friend, but all best friends don't know everything about their best friend. Was he there when the box happened? He made no mention of it. Bob was very jealous of Rita as he was of Cindy, I'm sure, but he's not there for their pillow talks. So he can not say it didn't happen if he wasn't there.... just my opinion🤷🏾♀️
Bob's life story cannot be condensed to a mere 2 hours movie or so etc., impossible.
You would require a 365 / 2 hrs documentary to come closed.
Bob's financial contribution towards one of my close family member's house purchases, speaks volumes.
Vere Technical Baller fi Life, raspect🙏.
S.I.P Bob 🇨🇦.
That’s what I say too
The 2012 doc movie "Marley" is a much more accurate depiction compared to the acted new film
Great movie. This movie will be nominated for many awards including an Oscar/Grammy.
This is Rita’s story…
Doubt it will be nominated…
@@queenieny4654 definitely will win awards. Look at the Grammy year by year. Marleys always win because the people who vote on the grammys don't know much about reggae and they recognize the Marley name, so that's who they vote for. My sources for this is a former voting member. I left because Grammys are just a popularity contest and not a measure of actual success or talent.
Thank you so much Skill Cole. RASpek
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
I think Allan is using his friendship with Bob to demote him and promote Cindy as well as himself. You are being irresponsible for using hearsay to criticize the movie when, like everybody else, you can see it for yourself. Go see it and come again.
I agree
This is a big disrespect to Bob you claim is your friend. Very weird.
@@Glamalamaofficial it’s not weird b/c Cindy’s son looks just like him👀👀👀
How dat mek sense to u
Damian marley is more bigger than all of his brothers
What’s the confusion …The story was told by Rita and Ziggy …it’s from their point of View …If Cindy want to make a Bob movie from her point of view I’m sure she will have a different story to tell !
You think most people watching the movie are seeing it that way? They are seeing it as historical.
@@MickSupper Ziggy and the director have both gone out of their way in interview after interview to point out that this movie is only about a 2 year period in Bob's life. They've repeatedly said it is not a movie about his whole life, but instead it is a movie about the turmoil, angst and creativity that resulted from the dramatic event where Bob, Rita and his manager were shot resulting with him leaving Jamaica for London where he made the acclaimed Exodus recording. There is no way Bob's whole impactful life could be told in the span of one single movie. Neither the Marleys nor the directors and producers of this movie are responsible for random members of the public thinking otherwise. As I said, they've gone out of their way to explain this, but they are not responsible for other people inferring anything other than what they've declared.
You were one of them that were advising Bob that Cindy was better for his image... I can tell you were no fan of Rita
Which is crazy when Rastafarianism treasures black women. To me, Bob only observed the restrictions he wanted to observe
Facts!
AGREE! He wanted Bob with a Caucasian woman because that's what he himself was looking for....
I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Cindy were good friends to this day. He’s doing the most to defend her and Bob’s adulterous affair. He’s disgusting to say that her post to Bob on his birthday was appropriate. Smh.
Thanks to the Universe he is still around to speak on truths....
Who remember the talk Jamaican use to say skill like Allan skill Cole well there he is the 🐐 himself
I agree with Allan 💯 especially with the box no way that’s a lie. Can’t wait to buy your book

Bob said he's about the TRUTH and this movie isn't that
Very true. This movie was heavily doctored to boost certain interested peoples' big egos and agendas. A biopic or a biography should be courageous enough to highlight both the beauty and the warts of the subject under discussion. Panel beating the truth is both dishonest and unfortunate.

@@tafimutekwe2855it was made by Rita’s children to please her of course…

Ziggy didn’t want to disrespect his mom. But Cindy was definitely his princess. Rita was the queen.
Like Roxanne...she don't needs to put on the red light
May I suggest that who ever wants to see this great love story of Bob and one of his many outside baby mothers go and make their own damn movie ? 🙄. For someone who didn’t actually watch the movie, that man is strongly opinionated about it 🤣.
That’s because he slept with Cindy allegedly
Totally! And everyone is gonna share their story how they see, some with truth and some with biases, this man will be bias!
Cindy wasn't omitted from the film. She was in the background where side chicks belong. I saw her several times in the movie. Had she been the only woman to have a baby with Bob outside of his marriage, maybe she could be considered special. She was one of many. Cindy role in Bob story doesn't highlight his legacy, only his character flaws…the family chose to focus on Bob's legacy of his music and message not his personal life otherwise each woman and her pickney would have to be featured.

Skilly speaks the TRUTH
There's no truth, only versions'
I am baffled...how can someone factually critique and have such a strong opinion of a film they haven't seen for themself. Is it mere "hear say" that you are going by to draw such a strong conclusion? How about watching the film then you can have a stronger argument to your point.
He made it clear that from the clips he saw that were lies made him not interested. He was one of Bob’s best friends and as he said he was there with him most of the times.even from Bobs mothers book and even Rita’s book we can absolutely tell that this so-called Bio pic is a fictional story that Rita and Ziggy wished was the actual case, sadly it’s not.
@@Winter74575 if he hasn’t seen it then I’m not going to listen to his critique of it. simple.
@@BoosieLoo but you must’ve listened to some degree because here you are criticising what he’s said, you see the double standards here? He’s seen enough from the clips to make up his mind that he’s not interested in Rita and her forgeries any more.
@@Winter74575his point is, one cannot truly formulate an valid critique or opinion of a movie without seeing the movie in its entirety.
@@fortis17 and I disagree. If I know a person personally and I see more than 1 clip of a supposedly bio pic about them showing lies, hearing from others that certain people in that particular time wasn’t featured etc, I too wouldn’t be interested and again he did not critique the film he clearly stated he wasn’t interested in watching it based on the clips and what he was told. He answered the questions he was asked honestly, he didn’t make a video bashing the film, he was asked and he answered honestly.
What significant role did Cyndi play? I'm genuinely intrigued to know. Because really, the story was to depict Bob’s success to fame and not necessarily his personal affairs.
Thank you!
She even said uptown girls never got involved with Rastas. She didnt even want Bob until she saw his rise to fame. That's the true love that people are talking about? 😆🤣🤣
@@CaribbyanDoll-xoxofrom the beginning of time thats how it works , grow up..
Although I don’t support adultery, AT ALL!
…it’s undeniable that his relationship with Cindy played a role in his success because she won Miss World during the early stages of their affair, & that helped him cross over to the “international” market.
The Miss World competition was a huge deal at that time.
That’s not to take away from Rita & her sacrifices, but unfortunately, multiple things can be true at the same time.
a lot of his love songs were about her... fact.
The movie was not called Bob and Cindy 😅 she was apart of his life but he had many children we woulda been in the theatre all night long if they highlighted every child mother 😂😂😂 this movie was about his legacy and what brought him to his beliefs. Let’s leave it at that. I enjoyed it, it was tastefully done. Also Cindy is not light skin she is white.
People like Skill and Garrick will know way more about Marley than his children. You cannot admit that Bob was hardly around and then claim that's your father, and you alone can tell his story. The movie isn't about truth, it is about money from name and image rights. The Marley Industrial Complex doesn't make significant money from black people. I'll bet that university students around the world are the greatest contributors to the Marley coffers, so products will be designed for them.
exactly... all these big mouth people on here making comments have no clue about the truth... they just don't want to hear truth. I mean we almost never hear anyone talk of the drug usage... people prefer to believe myths about their heroes than the real truth.

Uno truly think I tell my friends all that my husband has done? Uno see Bob as a Lion but sometimes lioness mash dem up 😂😂
Jah Blessings, Skill Cole, you look good. I remember Skill Cole and Bob in Vineyard Town back in the days. However, Ziggy is a producer of the movie. Respectfully, it is portaryed from the perspective of Rita and Bob's family unit. Cindy can produce her own movie.
Yeah I remember seeing skill Cole also in vineyard town, I used to live on Deanery Ave.
Skill Cole and Bob were more than close friends, who remembered when they were banned from caymanas park?
WERE THEY LOVERS????? WERE THEY FAMILY???? IF NOT, THEN THEY WERE JUST GOOD FRIENDS, POINT BLANK N PERIOD...Y EVERYBODY WANTS TO TELL A 'WIFE'S N SON'S STORY ABOUT THEIR LOVE ONE? U ALL DONT HAVE D RIGHT!!!!!!
When bob and Allan got ban from Caymanas park it was a betting wager on a double that pays $2,80.cent... just compare those time to now
No one. Because he's just a side show member wanting a piece of the pie.
Give thanks! Totally agree. I had the honor to joggling with him at Bull bay (Cable Hut Beach). I never knew that was him...just hours later when Lion from Mystic Revealers told me. A JAMAICAN THIN! SEEN...??? RESPECT
Alan needs to sit down. So glad he had no input in this movie. Imagine asking a man's wife and children who are making a movie about his life to make it more about one of his mistresses. He obviously favours Miss Brown and Uptown. He is supporting the foolishness and don't even realize his own classist bigotry. So because she is beautiful and a miss world, she is entitled to Bob more than is legal wife because she is not up to the standard of beauty set by this world? She wouldn't have wanted him if he wasn't known so there is that.
Rita has never denied that they had separate lives including the fact she was more guardian than wife. Bob never got divorced he had his reasons. And most married men lie about being married, that's not new. If he was so in love with Cindy and wanted to be with her long term, he could easily have divorced Rita but he didn't.
Someone shouted at me basically in another post saying Cindy and Bob were together for 6 years even up to his death. Listen to her interviews and look at the time lines. She has clearly stated in more than one interview that she and Bob had broken up "because she was restructuring her life". At that point she would have realized that Bob was not getting a divorce and she would never be the only one. She would have also met her first husband around that time, marrying him 3 months after Bob died. Bob also moved on and had one more child the same year he died. So Cindy was special only at the time she was special...don't make this more than it was people. A man writing a song for his mistress means she was his muse who inspired it, doesn't mean anything more than that if he doesn't make her his wife. Lots of great artiste have had mistresses as muses but never married them. If Bob was so in love, he would have done what John Lennon did, divorce and marry her.
Yes she was there during his illness and death because she was mother to one of his child and Rita was never one to stand in anyone's way. Cindy herself as said we were all there, don't know if that includes any of the other mothers, but who knows.
I don't have a problem with her having a child with Bob, we can't change history, it's already done. Where the issues comes in is she has clearly stated her position...she is honoured "to be connected to the greatest legacy that has come out of Jamaica." That is her validation...that is her life and she will hold on to that for dear life. Will probably put it on her tombstone. She doesn't care about anyone's feelings or how it might impact anyone else, as long as she continues to make it known that she is connected to Bob. The other mothers have kept quiet, she should too. Her son is the one who should honour his father and she needs to honour her now husband. Can't believe people think a mistress should get the same honour as a legal wife just because she is beautiful and a few songs were written for her. Bob had all the other women over the place just the same, we only hear about this one because she was Miss World and mostly because she keeps talking about it. There should be an expiration date on talking about ones affair.
The movie has been made and it has been a success and now all who never had anything to do with it feels bad. Hush get over it. The audacity. Don't worry Alan, we don't care that you don't see it...it is making money. You obviously don't like Rita, we good. You notice it's just about the box...yeah Alan, we get that you don't like Rita. I bet your book won't do as well as thia movie.
Michael Abrahams the reason why there is so much hatred towards Cindy is because she is the only one who keeps talking about her affair. People are tired of it 🙄

Will definitely be going to see it again.
The film is rubbish and calling it one love it should be called Rita's Revenge and what else is annoying the groups licky licky attitude with Bob its sycophantic behavior, the film is pathetic
Cindy was very much in the movie.
She was there standing outside in the cold and among the throng of women seated on the couch waiting for Bob.
The movie accomplished Marley's mission on Earth.
Not his side shows, Thank God.
Someone else can do those.

Not my fault that you you feel so left out and haven't seen the real essence of the natural mystic that flowed through Bob ala the inspiration of Selassie and Rastafari message of peace and love to the world throughout the movie.

On and on...are all one and the same message throughout the movie.
Open your eyes and look within...
My biggest thing is that he kept saying that the movie is fake because of the box. Such a small part of the movie, which was well done. It hinted at the extramarital affairs they both had...afterall, that was indeed a part of their history. It wasn't overly done...it was subtle. However, it was appropriate.
He sounds a bit bitter...and I think his book coming out now is to ride the coat tail of the movie. Just saying!!!
He wasn't on the payroll, he will try and cash in now!
at the end of the day skill cole and cindy are NOT members of the marley family so they dont have to include them full stop
“Catch a Fire, The Life of Bob Marley” doesn’t paint Skill Cole in a very good light. Read it yourself. His reluctance to watch the movie gives the impression that he’s bitter.
Rita was clear about all that happened, she once said that she was on a mission. I feel Rita did all she could, that is the reason why Bob Marley succeeded in his life time, and after his life on earth. She is a great Lady! She is the " Real Queen"
who cares about his women? I don't.... However, I do care about his political and spiritual message and actions. About his music which elevated Black consciousness all over the world.
Best comment
If he was real he would have seen the movie and formed his own opinions. His comments aren’t valid because they are based on hearsay. He’s in his feelings because he wasn’t consulted for the movie. It was a good movie, it’s Hollywood so obviously they will cut and add stories.

That movie was will not happen!
Allan "skill" Cole!!! You played for Vere Tech during my student years there. Made us all proud winners!!! Blessings on you!! Can you get a "where sre they now?" going re VereTech graduates?? A great school and amazing, accomplished, contributing graduates.
A rock star and a beauty Queen is fodder for the tabloids and great PR… not an enduring love story!

Sorry, but I don't think Bob Marley needed Cindy to be famous
Truth! Bob Marley was destined to be famous from birth IMHO. In my 75 year lifetime of seeing and appreciating a wide berth of musicians starting with Ricky Nelson to Elvis, the Doors, the Beatles, the Stones, Queen, Dylan, Creedence and so many, many others -- Bob Marley stands out as a songwriter, performer, singer, and entertainer with an aura, a style, a charisma and message so unique as to be totally in a category all his own. He was unlike anyone else. Bob's spectacular music and universal message of peace, equality and unity should be the focus, not whatever human frailties he might have had.
The truth is an offence, but not a sin. It is. He laughs last it is he that wins jah live children
The movie is not about Cindy; it's about Bob. Watch the movie for yourself and stop going by so-called "critics".
So he hasn’t seen the movie...but it’s not true. Then he wants the children to disrespect their mother by featuring their father’s side chick. The way Cindy was featured in the movie was tastefully done. They could have omitted her from the movie. People have to understand the movie was about a particular time in this man’s life. It’s not about his love life. I’m so glad it’s doing great international once again some Jamaicans busy criticizing the movie. They can’t see what an honor it is that one of our own has had a movie made about their life. So Jamaicans let us take pride in that stop the negativity.
Rita and Bob was together in that particular time? Really. Wasn’t it shown in the show that he knew about her man ( the scene where she actually wished she boxed him) the fact that he knew and still went to an event with her tells you that it was a business relationship.
Did you listen to what the man actually said?
He said Cindy was a huge part of Bob’s success also because of the miss world thing, isn’t she part of the reason he was so accepted internationally and not by the ghetto communities? Is she Damian Marley’s mother? Cindy Breakspear relationship was more broadcast more than his marriage to Rita to be honest, it’s after Bob died and Rita and her Kids got control she got a spotlight in his life.
@@Winter74575, is that really Bob’s son? He looks like Skill Cole👀👀
@@lorriethomas148 really? Is Cedella, Stephen and Stephanie really Bob’s? Because they’re conflicting reports out there. Bunny Wailer said Cedella was a raffle amongst Himself,Peter Tosh but he said she really belonged to Planno, I mean he was there when that rumour was circulating amongst them which clearly suggests Rita was a pass round donkey.you’re here saying Damian is not Bob’s however Cindy wasn’t married to him and she surly didn’t forge Bobs signature like Rita did with Stephanie for sure.
@@Winter74575, so I guess you were there when Rita, was being passed around? At the end of the day Rita was Bob’s wife. It doesn’t not matter what Bob says or you in the eyes of God almighty they were MARRIED…end of STORY. DNA wasn’t taken apparently of his alleged children, but I still say what my eyes see, and that’s Cindy’s son looks like Skill Cole. Whatever your eyes see is what they see. So stop trying to change people’s opinions and go take a seat b/c you weren’t there, but God is every where, and that’s all that matters. Good bye and good night! No need to reply back please and thank you….
I agree with skill cole but at the same time I am glad the movie came out because it can be an introduction to Bobs life, rastafari and reggae music to the new generations . Bob life was very interesting and there are many points of views. I have a feeling that ziggy waited for some people to die involved in bobs life so he can make that movie because we all know if bunny wailer was here he wouldn’t let the movie come out the way it did, leaving out Peter,bunny and skill cole as an important part of the story.Rita became more like a sister through out the marriage Bob loved her and Rita did a lot for him but the relationship changed in the romantic side. She was the only Rasta woman in his life and his first love, so she deserves a lot of appreciation and he loved Cindy very much she wasn’t a side chick like some people say. Whatever people want to judge it doesn’t matter, I’m glad all of his children are here continuing his legacy and spreading reggae music and the message of rastafari all across the world.
How do you know he loved Cindy very much? I’m assuming you were there right?
Thanks for keeping it real Jah bless.
Having seen the film, I think Skill has some valid points, but I think he should see the film before critiquing it.
Real talk mr cole write u book and tell the truth about bob marley ❤️❤️
Yes 🙏 can't wait to read the book Thank you 🙏
Listen. Ziggy wanted ro make sure thst he honored his mother in this movie who was the Actually Queen of the empire. Every outside women was just that! A concubine. Facts! And you can love your comcubine, but they can never take the Queen's crown. More facts!
Why does this Cindy woman keep inserting herself into the conversation. She was 1 of like 6 other woman Bob got with outside of his marriage. All the others mind their business. Their kids are grown and they give Rita the space, respect and right to tell her story with Bob.
But this Cindy woman like… Lord have mercy woman… his legacy doesn’t need to revolve around you. People don’t have an issue with her because she’s white. They have an issue with her because she doesn’t know her place, nor does she respect Rita’s place. I don’t care how important she believes she was to Bobs life towards the end of his life.
