Among the main bones of this quarrel is that even Bob would not want a "fake Rasta" wearing a wig or make-up extensions and that he is the best one of his many sons or grandsons, he should have been selected including his son Ky-Mani Marley, who said that playing Bob's role was his dream.
In addition, Reggae fans claim that as a foreigner, no matter how hard he tries, Ben-Adir will not be able to portray Jamaican characters and characters well and that there are many talented Jamaican actors, who can play.
Worse, they argue that Ben-Adir, the son of a white British father and mother whose parents came from Trinidad and Tobago, would not be able to speak the Patois language, and he would sound as humorous as the long list of famous foreign actors who tried to impersonate Jamaicans.
The son of Bob Marley, singer-songwriter Ky-Mani Marley, said in November last year, that playing his father's role would be his dream role in his acting career and that he would be perfect for the role, he would control his acting experience and quit mark on the clan.
The Like Father artist, Like Son, born in Falmouth Trelawny, has starred in Jamaican films including One Love (2003) and Shottas (2002), among others.
The main producers of the film are his widow Marley Rita, his daughter Cedella and his eldest son Ziggy, who will be performing on behalf of Tuff Gong, a music and studio label founded by Bob in 1970.
Ziggy said last year, that the film, which will be directed by King Richard's director, Reinaldo Marcus Green, would pay homage to his father "in a way that has never been done before", and would tell Bob's story "in a way that truly respects him as well. will refresh, educate, uplift, and inspire fans and spectators around the world. ”
With the release of the acting phone last year, Reggae fans had shouted at one of Bob's sons or even his grandson to play the role of the musician, who died in 1981 at the age of 36.
Since the announcement was made on Friday, that Paramount has found their best man for the role after searching the world for a year, Ben-Adir's opposition to playing Bob has been intense.
"Bob will never be a fan of fake rasta playing his role. He has many children and family members who are like him. There is no fake BOB AROUND HERE…, ”bt_only said on Twitter.
The fact that Ben-Azir is ‘bald’ brought a lot of grief.
"And will they give him a wig ????" Milo Lover said, with datallyute_dehh adding: "I can't be as bald as a Rasta game".
Some claimed that the appointment of Ben-Adir, during the month of Reggae, was another example of how Jamaican culture was being undermined and ignored.
"Jamaicans need to stand up against this corruption," yyz_one said, with GoldiBratz noting: "I'm speaking on behalf of all Jamaicans ... we will not look at this arrow."
In August 2020m Ben-Adir was insulted after making remarks, which African Americans found offensive, during a LA Times interview about any possible opposition, to him as a British actor, starring two American celebrities - Malcolm X and Barak Obama in Hollywood movies.
"There is no job for me in the UK. There is no job. I have not read a good document with a major role or solid role from the U.K. for me two years… I spent my early 20s waiting to reach 30 to come to America and play interesting places. "Here, and I should be excited? You get a few episodes on the show on ITV and you should be grateful. Ben-Adili said.
“Frankly, Britain is a developed country. You can fight for your rights there more easily than in less developed countries. So I don't respect it, ”said one woman.

"No one out there sponsors stories about them. Because there is no audience here in American storytelling. Believe it or not even white Americans can see the skills in black American stories. Because our stories are still American stories," another argued.
