Did Bob Marley use cocaine?

[Tropicana]

In a recent interview by reggae great, Big Youth, the Rasta elder seems to alleged that Bob Marley meddled in cocaine snorting. The interview conducted by I Never Knew TV centered on the prince of reggae, Dennis Brown, but also touched on others like Marley and Gregory Isaacs


While there have been whispers of Marley’s cocaine use in the past, Big Youth is the first reggae artist to mention it, at least in public. While talking about how bad influence led many artists to hard drugs, Big Youth said, “…so Marley used to play the ball”, referring to cocaine.

I was also told this by a reliable source who even told me who introduced him to it....but mi naw go say who.

He went on to say that cocaine use in the reggae community was done under the hush and quoted the following lyrics from Gregory Isaacs as referring to the undercover cocaine users in reggae:

Clearly SOMEBODY does or the article wouldn't have been written in 2016 and share EXTENSIVELY on social media.

oh who the phukk cares whether Bob used or whether you know some ancient irrelevant shyte.

As for not caring what I know...jealousy will get you no where.

I thought the use of profanity was against board rules. Great example from a moderator.

Must be SO irrelevant since Big Youth recently addressed this in an interview.
