The Rastafarian community in Jamaica are waging war against American rapper turned reggae artiste Snoop Lion.
Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council a.k.a. Rastafari Millennium Council
filed a 7-paged demand letter to Snoop Lion. The rastafarians claim
that Snoop Lion had lied about becoming a Rasta just to make a movie and
sell records.
In the document, they claim to have made
it clear to Snoop that ‘smoking weed and loving Bob Marley and reggae
music is not what defines the Rastafari Indigenous Culture’. They want
Snoop to stop using the name ‘Lion’, pay up the ‘financial and moral
support’ they claim he committed, and issue a public apology.
Amongst the rastafarians is Bunny Wailer, an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers, who says ‘Snoop
is engaged in an outright use of Rastafari Community’s personalities
and symbolism and has failed to meet contractual, moral and verbal commitments’
The artiste formerly known as Snoop Dogg is yet to respond to the legal action and petitions.
