Ten years on from the death of her superstar husband, Rita Marley discusses Bob's legacy and her relationship with the most influential figure in reggae and world music. Rita reveals that Bob Marley never made a will, and on his deathbed told her he assumed all future royalties would go to Rita and the children, unaware of the litigious struggle that Rita would be forced to endure following his premature death in 1981.
Who's here after watching Bob Marley One Love movie? Queen Rita Marley❤
Meeeee lol
🙌🏾
Me
lol I’ll watch it on the weekend
Fabulous movie. They did a great job of depicting Rita!! Solid solid woman!!
Rita is one of the main reasons why Bob Marley legacy is so strong, she turned his brand into a multi million dollar empire after his death..much respect to the one and ONLY Rita Marley 👸🏾
@@annalishagoring As they should. Cedella & Ziggy currently run the empire.
@@annalishagoring which is right
😂😂😂😂 NO. YOU'RE LOST. SHE TRIED TO DESTROY HIS LEGACY AND THE STUPID MOVIE IS PROOF😂
@@Imcovered YA IDIOT
❤😊
This interviewer asked what the estate was worth. Ms Rita gave the best answer...its worth more than money. Round of applause for Queen Rita!
She shouldn't have lied about seeing a nail hole in Selassie's palm.
I love her. A woman of grace, humbleness and strength. She used to ride her bicycle in Trench Town during the early years selling Bob’s records when he was a nobody, that’s how much she believed in him. Rita was there from the beginning to the end and has carried on his legacy since his death. She truly loved BOB! The Empress of the Marley legacy!
Gold digger.
@@benmacdui9328how is she a gold digger when she was with Bob before he was famous and had a dime. The other women who wanted him once he was famous might fit that TERM THOUGH!!!
@@user-ul5ms6fb1swho called Rita a gold digger? Such fools whoever did that. The comment is deleted. That woman was with Bob when he had no permanent home and he adopted her daughter, married her all before fame. The others after cared about the fame including Cindy the Jamaican beauty queen who had his son Damnin only after his fame because her uptown family didn't like he was a rasta although he too was mixed race. Bob was from the country and they didn't approve but she went against them after he became rich
@@user-ul5ms6fb1sgrace? She also had affairs and got pregnant by multiple men 🤦🏾♀️
Wow!❤
She’s a beautiful black woman, very strong too, big up Rita Marley 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You mean weak!
@karmenwashington2760 did she get the riches in the end?? That speaks for itself
She African Queen we love you Rita Marley.
I wished the interviewer would have allowed Rita to completely finish some of her answers. She was cutting her off when she was giving her answers. Rita was speaking so many interesting things that I wanted to hear.
Omg, I was about to say the exact same thing. So irritating!! Like let the woman speak!
The interviewer is awful.
Yes, same feeling!
i agree!
exactly - every time she was getting into saying something she butted in - terrible interviewer not interested in the answers/deliberations just her questioning... awful While Rita Marley is the personfication of grace, humblessness and there is a profoundness to her - God bless her and it is beautiful to hear Bob is WITH her - he has never left her.
Love Rita's skin tone. It is so beautiful, its glowing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yessss
Just a normal black skin tone bud
I didn't say it wasn't normal I said I love it. As beyonce said it's like pearl. He though she referred to brown skin. The black skin is like pearl too
@motherandson4402 2 each they own. We know was catches our eye
@@cantstopFolksyou’re white, huh?
I hate the interviewer won’t let Rita finish a sentence. She is all over the place , jumping from one question to the next before Rita gets to finish any of her statements. Lots of gems were lost all due to this yappy interviewer 😒😒
She is rude
Looks like she has a list of topics she wants to get through.
I was looking for this comment. I’m so annoyed by the interviewer. Ughh
True
She was also a bit envious of her „How she got a man like Bob Marley“^^
After reading Rita’s autobiography “No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley” I left with so much respect for her. Rita you are truly the backbone and foundation of Bob Marley and the family, which is why you’ll forever be the Queen. No Bob without Rita!
Oh sounds like interesting book to read Guess we never know what truly goes on behind closed curtains in anyone's life's . But love to read some of it.
Exactly
Yes this is the true definition of unconditional love
😂😂😂 SHE IS A CIA PLANT AND IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND. BOB MADE HER STUPID 😂😂
Classy woman
Rita is so beautiful, no wonder Bob married her. She is a strong woman and she is musical, she has kept Bob Marley in the spotlight, and she raised all those children so well, she is beautiful human❣️🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵🩶💜
I am here after seeing Bob Marley’ One Love Movie. What a strong and courageous woman in Rita Marley. Yes, Bob was an outstanding King of reggae music. And as they say, behind every great man is an even greater woman!! ❤
Ritas spirituality got her through difficult times in her life. Beautiful strong mama.❤
She is very much the empress! Bob should be so proud.
Rita articulates well, she answers each question intellectually, good interview.
Rita exemplifies the kind of loyalty most black women have for black men, which is NOT often reciprocated. God bless her!
Rita put in the work as well. She was on that stage singing and trying to raise the children too.
They forget that. She was with Bob during the 60s in the early Wailers when it was just Bob, Bunny and Peter doing harmonies on a lot of the early stuff. I remember reading Rita used to be heavily pregnant with Bob in the studio working alongside him. She knows the struggle of grinding with him from the beginning.
@@nasimaali9646 😂😂😂😂 SHE IS CIA STUPID
She did. She was there from the start and worked hard too and raising their children while loving him. Why he loved her
@@AS-wj1du NO DEMON. SHE BROUGHT NOTHING BUT DISGRACE ON BOB. SHE FORGED DOCUMENTS AND LOST THE BOB MARLEY ESTATE. SHE WANTED TO MOVED BOB'SO CALLED REMAINS TO ETHIOPIA. SHE EVEN DID A BOB MARLEY HIP HOP ALBUM. DID THEY EVER DO A BOB MARLEY REGGAE ALBUM? YES. WITH CHRONIXX AND A BUNCH OF NEW AGE FAKE RASTA ARTIST. PLEASE. LOOK RITA' DAUGHTER CEDELLA. SHE GOT PLASTIC SURGERY DONE TO HER FACE. SHE IS NOT BOB' KID. NEITHER IS STEPHEN, ZIGGY, ROHAN, JULIAN, KYMANI, ROBBIE, SHARON, STEPHANY, AND SERITA. BOB MARLEY' ONLY SON IS DAMIAN WHO TELLS YOU IN HIS SONG HERE WE GO. REAL GONG IS IN THE HOUSE, EVERYTHING ELSE COUNTERFEIT. LOLOL.
Rita is so naturally beautiful (inside and out). What a great interview.
I will be in Jamaica just to visit the museum I love bob and Rita, I am an African and we love you Jamaica 🇯🇲 my next trip will be Jamaica 🇯🇲 for life
Behind every successful man is a woman. That’s Rita Marley for SURE! She was/is the force behind Bob Marley and his legacy.
No.. behind every successful man, there is a successful woman!
❤amen!
What about behind every woman is a successful man
Rita was gorgeous in her day. Even at this point of interview she looks fine..
No lie. I see why she caught Bob' eye....kikiki. Bob liked them pretty.
Shes hot
So proud of Rita. Even though Bob cheated he seemed to love and understand that he should be proud of his wife. His other kids seem to love her too. To think it was 10 years after she lost her husband. She's a strong woman and has built his legacy. Bob's only wife
He was very disrespectful. I love his music and his message but he loved none of those women. It seems he was a wounded prophet. He had a message but he was fighting his own demons. Maybe he lacked self worth from being rejected by his dad and the white side of his ancestry. To heal the wounds of his tortured mind, he slept around to find even temporary solace.
@@howtosavyguideshe slept around cos he loved off women n had no self control, she’s just as bad… no self worth going out committing adultery n having side babies
de CR CR@@howtosavyguides
They wouldn't call it cheating, at least his wife has not called it so, and that's what matters. She cool with it, and deeply loves him. It's just life in expression. Nothing good or bad.
She love him ! And no one could take him away from her
Beautiful love you Rita I read the book so powerful full of love, betrayal, trust and loyalty to the end. Bob promised Rita she would always be his wife and no one could penetrate that circle with his wife and children. Many women tried and failed he loved Rita to the end.
I always knew that Bob Marley was a chosen one, and to see his mom admitting it in an interview is awesome. His near death experience 1976 triggered his spiritual awakening and he went into isolation in London. He produced Exodus when he was awakened✨💫 not everyone will understand this, but those who know will do✨💫👑
QUEEN MOTHER!! THE ONE AND ONLY MRS MARLEY!! KEEPER OF THE LEGACY 👑👑👑
Behind every successful man is a powerful woman
I mean... Can we just have a round of applause for her words from 1:40 - 2:13 👏
I love her spiritual awareness.
I am now seeing this in 2024. What a lovely lady! ❤❤❤
Rita is such a beautiful queen who carries herself with such grace and confidence.
She is a beautiful lady and she has a sweet/ kind spirit
This was definitely his soul mate, also shows the importance of picking the right partner.
So INCREDIBLY strong this woman is! She took a BULLET for this man! That's standing BEHIND and FOR your dream!
Her smile is priceless !! 😊
RITA IS SO VERY BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUTSIDE, MUCH RESPECT ❤
The Queen of the Marley Legacy. Upmost Respect.
She stayed after 6 children outside of her own? 😳 Wow…..very courageous of her smh I don't think I'd be that strong ❤️ I love Rita
A very articulate mother and put the family in order even after the great Bob was taken from them physically
Strength of a woman. God bless you mama ❤
Such class . .. woman of substance.
Rita marley looks stunning❤
She's the wife. He made sure of that.
Bob throw the marrige bond and rimg at sea
@@evertonbrownsnr.5807Bob threw what ring? He stayed with his wife for life no matter the other women
Didn't stop from cheating and having outside kids on her
@@AS-wj1du How can you cheapen marriage like that? Bob Marley showed an utter lack of respect for his wife Rita and their marriage. The man lived a immoral lifestyle, and you all put someone who defiled his marriage bed and publicly disrespected his wife, with a variety of women, on a pedestal. Smh.
Love her humility! What a lady ❤❤❤
Classy and resilient
This woman is the REAL QUEEN. They definitely don't make them like her anymore.
Rita has such a beautiful soul. I have much respect for here and her strength.
Rita, a vibrant, beautiful, intelligent humble black woman.
In order to have a strong relationship, you must have emotional intelligence and that she had❤️ She was his strength and he was hers.. I applaud her for being such a strong humble woman 💪🏾💯🙏🏾
We love you Rita!
Bob loved her.He may of cheated,but never divorced her for another woman,even Cindy didn't win him..
YES CINDY DID WIN MY GOD AND KING STUPID. BOB LEFT HER AND BROUGHT THE CIA AGENT ON TOUR. DAMN IDIOT. IT IS CLEAR THAT BOB LEFT RITA COLD. WHEN THEY CAME TO KILL BOB AT HOPE ROAD IT WAS RITA THAT SET HIM UP AND YOU NEVER HEAR BOB TALK ABOUT THE SKANK😂😂😂
Exactly. He strayed but he so loved and appreciated her. She said she might have wanted to divorce because of it but he needed her and she loved him too so stayed. There is no other Bob Marley but him. He'd be proud of them all
😂😂😂 YOU THINK RITA IS A NICE LADY? THEN WHY DID BY DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM HER???
@@barringtonedwards7008 She didn’t. Cindy was a sidechick like many others. Bob never divorced Rita hence her being his Heir. Damian is an outside kid. Hardly a real Marley. No shade.
@@user-ul5ms6fb1s MADNESS
Rita Marley, such a beautiful lady with poise, grace and intelligence. She is truly Bob’s soul queen. A true empress. Loved the movie One Love and the entire family.
I like the way that this woman interviewed Rita, showed great respect for her and let her shine.
This is a woman who I RESPECT!!!
😬she never respected herself, instead of leaving going n having affairs too n bringing home side babies… a mess
@@shukuratulilahDidn’t even have to read…blah blah blah
She is gorgeous
Beautiful Rita…. What such intelligent Black Woman. Peace and Love always❤️
Rita Marley, you're such a gracious, humble and beautiful woman. We love you Queen Rita
I still keep the fire burning i sing most of his songs to this day
Met this lovely queen in Harbourview, JA in the early 90's. She is regal and humble.
So graceful about discussing the outside children and mothers. ❤ Beautiful and so virtuous.
I love Rita. She is a talented singer in her own right and such a wonderful inspiration as a woman who loves her family, stands up for what she believes in, and is inspirational. I wish there were more interviews available of her. I would loved to hear some of her early Soulettes work.
The world's greatest reggae spokesman and musical prophet.May she continue his great musical legacy.👍🎺🎹🎼🎤💝🎧🌹🌟
This woman is lovely and brave, too.
Beautiful interview you are such a strong woman.😘
Rita, you are more Royal than queens. You are the essence of Bob. You are more beautiful and elegant than even when you were younger you are graceful and exudes a Grace and dignity that becomes you. You are soft spoken and humble.❤❤❤❤❤❤men always look to their wives for confirmation about the children outside of the marriage that's as long as you know about it. Solomon had many wives and lots of bible personalities had more than one wife, so you are Bob's right hand and no one can take it away from you. Michael Manley made bastard children legal and equal to children of marriage. You are absolutely beautiful ❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘😘😘😘🇯🇲🇹🇹🇦🇬🇧🇧🌍
Gratitude for this interview with Mama Rita 🙏🏾❤️🖤💚
Beautiful, strong, brilliant, so soft spoken Sista Rita Marley.
Thank you so very much Mrs Marley for your amazing strength. We will always appreciate you and love you. Mrs Rita Marley. ❤
Love this woman so much. I grew up listening to her music since I was a baby. Huge staple in my home! Rita is an icon in her own right as a soloist and I-Three
What a great interview! I came here from watching the new "One Love" movie yesterday. What an amazing love story between Bob and Rita....what a legacy....what a queen Rita is👌🏽❤💝💫👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
JAH LOVE RITA MARLEY ❤💛💚🔥
She actually took bullets with him. He treated her o so inhumanly had all them children on the side. Comes back to her for healing 💓 she's an angel for real..
She had affairs n side babies too, both a mess
God bless u Mrs Rita Marley 👑 queen of Reggae we all loves u 🌹😇💯❤💚💛🖤👍
Over a decade post Bob Marley’s death, Mama Rita still had to fight for the rights of the children inside and outside of she and Bob’s union. Mama Rita continued to do what she had to provide for the Community of Marley which by far are the children to whom she deeply loved
Queen Mother Rita Marley is gorgeous 🌹💜
we need more Queens like this to stand forward in these times and not the other modern nonsense we've all been fed with. Much respect Queen Mother Rita Marley
Modern or traditional no woman should put up with any man who sleeps around and has multiple babies on their wife.
This interview was really good, however the host/interviewer kept interrupting Mother Rita 😡😠🤬
Rita we love you always❤❤❤❤
Great woman Rita Marley,respect you so much.
The queen I respect all she puts up with no matter what, you are bob marley wife strong black woman.
