[@animalranger7768]

Rita has a very lovely voice. There is a tenderness to it.

[@LadyLeoASMR]

She is so pleasant! Always so sure, peaceful. Can see how and why he couldn't ever truly depart from her. Even at his deathbed he assured her, he will always be there... Notice when asked about her children, she always included ALL the children.

[@barringtonedwards7008]

🤣YA RIGHT. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF RUTA WAS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU THINK SHE IS? WOMEN TRICK YOU DUDES ALL THE TIME. BOB WAS VERY COLD TOWARDS RITA AND IS BECAUSE SHE IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK SHE IS...

[@saundrabrown-um1xs]

Bob Marley was no fool. He wasn't about to divorce his beautiful wife for nobody else because Queen Mother Rita Marley kept his children and his legacy 💯👏🖤🤎✊

[@barringtonedwards7008]

BOB MARRIED RITA FOR TRAVEL PAPERS FEBRUARY 10 1966. THE NEXT DAY MY MASTER BOB FLEW TO DELAWARE TO VISIT HIS MOTHER CEDELLA. AND BOB GAVE MANY INTERVIEWS WHERE HE SAID HE DENOUNCED WESTERN MARRIAGE. AND BOB DIVORCED RITA AND LEFT HER FOR CINDY😂😂😂. RITA WAS A NIGHTMARE TO BOB. AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE. LIKE RITA WRITING IN HER BOOK "NO WOMAN NO CRY" THAT BOB ABANDONED HER AND THE KIDS FOR MONTHS AND NEVER SENT THEM A DIME. THAT'S AFTER THEY SHOT AFTER HIM. BOB FOUND OUT SOME THINGS ABOUT RITA THAT WOULD MAKE YOU CRINGE. RITA IS CIA FROM CUBA AND STEPHEN LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DAD MORTIMMO PLANNO AND CEDELLA BOTCHED HER FACE AND UNDERWENT FACIAL RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY AND BLEACHED HER SKIN AND SO DID ZIGGY, KYMANI, STEPHEN, SELAH, ROHAN, JO MERSA, JULIAN AND SKIP AND ROBBIE AND YG AND MANY MORE.

Mother Earth Queen Rita ❤❤❤❤

[@anngregoire3820]

Bob Marley certainly had an eye for beautiful women. Rita is beautiful.

[@cherylifill6095]

I see why Bob Marley fell in love with Rita. She is aone beautiful black women, genuine, beautiful smile and she is a lady. Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤😂

[@mikemikey4287]

The problem is not her beauty but her promiscuity.

[@SabiArtStory777]

​@@mikemikey4287 Both of dem had the same promiscuity, so as many Jamaican peeps. What is the problem when women do so? Or with WHO should the Jamaican men do it, if the women don't? 🙄😉 I don't understand the logic 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sandybradshaw1879]

I have so much respect for Mama Rita! As a child growing up in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I was fascinated with the I-threes- They are my mentors via proxy- I would LOVE 💕 to meet them. #Lovesign #OneLove Mama Rita! Praying for you re- your health. 🙏🙏🙏

[@cjojay]

She's beautiful. Not sure why some people think otherwise.

[@m.d.walker]

The same. The Jamaican establishment at the time was not kind to her. Glad we have treated her better over the decades. She deserves it.

[@CASSICF]

Because her skin is dark, that’s why they tried to make it seem as though she wasn’t good enough. Which is a lie because she is the woman he chose to marry, she is beautiful and Bob never divorced her.

[@Underdeblood23]

Some people can only see European features as beauty. In nature, we have the rainbow, the animals, the trees, everywhere there's a variety of colours, shapes and sizes. The creator loves variety. We're all beautiful in HIS eyes. My father once said, "The woman he loves, his the most beautiful woman in the world"

[@lyte4240]

Ppl are foolish, lost & caught up in Nonsense

[@berylmorgan2156]

Lovely black woman

[@linettejenkins8600]

Lift her up. She must be celebrated

[@kontentdistributor9397]

She is actually so pretty ❤️😍😫wish she was mine

[@flawlessbylola]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Grd583]

Rita speak in a wery nice way

[@bviflyboy]

Rita is so beautiful, always loved to see that smile... that reporter was out of order, what he meant by saying if people were paying with bananas, was very rude.

[@DeliciaTrini]

She exudes such grace and femininity. Any man would be enamored by her💕

[@milli6415]

Rita you are beautiful, but your perception of Jesus Christ is wrong.. Selassie was not, could not be Jesus Christ.....

[@sandybradshaw1879]

Such a strong woman ! Interesting her link with Rastafari & Christianity; Jesus & Selassie; I respectfully disagree that they are one and the same. I believe ‘Jesus is the way, the truth and the life’ Both Rita , Bob and Crew made such an impact in terms of black consciousness- We appreciate their Labor of love. #Lovesign

[@sandybradshaw1879]

I share similar sentiments. We continue to pray for her. #lovesign

[@user-wp6fb8os7t]

🎉

[@barbaraanderson8039]

Bob no frighten bout no white / light skin chick , him already half n half him love all type of women , Rita Marley his wife is beautiful inside n outside , and thats why when all is said and done she prevail victorious , make dem have maligripe , and fluxy complain 😂😅😝🤣😆😅😂🤣

[@mikemikey4287]

Rita doesn't seem to understand the meaning of Censorship.

[@lillianwilliams5510]

The comment about bananas was very inappropriate

[@user-ne1uh8yx5r]

I enjoy his music. His thoghts and philosophy neeeded refining. He probably would stil be alive had he chosen better nedical help Bye.

[@firandcurly84]

All religions need refining, especially Christianity has so many loop holes and contradiction, Greek and Roman mythology, Jehovah witnesses,Romans Buddhist, Pentecostals, Muslims all need refining is all pure foolishness

[@shereigns6437]

Paying For tickets in banana's what a silly question...prejudice and ignorant!

[@user-ne1uh8yx5r]

Watched a Neville Willoughby interview. His answers made no sense. He kept rattling on that 'rasta' philosophy. He couldn't even explain his viewon violence. His music was good but he didnt know how express himself. I'm Jamaican of about his age too.

[@m.d.walker]

He probably was high. Depend on when you get him he’s more coherent sometimes than others. But I understand him. There was a time in Jamaica when it was said he was chatting nonsense. It wasn’t exactly true. He spoke very cryptically , poetically and proverbially. Nigerians speak proverbially.

[@lalajah2806]

People will always remember how you make them feel not what you do or say ! « he couldn’t even explain his view on violence? » did you listen to any of his albums survival…! ?

[@lalajah2806]

And knowing the way he talks with journalists if he was asked about his views on violence he’s response will probably be I have a view on peace and love we call this rhetoric !

[@m.d.walker]

@@lalajah2806 People communicate differently and maybe communicating in music was his better skill.

[@AprilCampbell]

The woman interviewing Rita a oit her Faith is so disrespectful. This beautiful woman carried out Bob wishes and these folk are asking questions as if she’s not the reason it’s happening. The hurt and pain was still fresh in Mama Rita’s heart and these questions are gradeA un thoughtful. In other words your censoring the lyrics only makes us want to research and know more about the cause & effect. Music had an enchanting power. I would love to know if MamaRita ever felt that Bob reincarnation came to life or if he revealed his soul into existence The disrespect: have you paid for your concert tickets in bananas yet?! Cmon racist.

[@viviennesmith7289]

No side chick around hete

[@SabiArtStory777]

Were matratzen normally invited to official meetings?🤔

[@lyte4240]

Rita has beautiful bedroom eyes 👀 Adorable I see why Bob was captivated with her, No matter what anyone says. She's a true Black queen

[@user-ne1uh8yx5r]

She is a lot more intelligible than Bob. Bob speaks gibberish. He probably smoked too much of that tampi weed. Felicidades Rita 😊

[@rosalinelowe972]

Agree. Boston always look stoned and dirty

[@thesmindalowe5618]

Bob left school at 14. Rita attended High School.

[@rosalinelowe972]

​@thesmindalowe5618 I think Rita looks very pretty and quite confident

[@bviflyboy]

Bob said he spoke so that even the smallest baby could understand.. the man was from Jamaica not England.

[@m.d.walker]

Bob didn’t speak gibberish. If you don’t understand patois or someone who speaks proverbially you’d think it’s gibberish. Such a Eurocentric view of language and expression and outdated.
