The Story Behind Bob Marley & Niney's EPIC FEUD & BRAWL

Between 1970 and 1971, Bob Marley would engage in a feud with fellow artiste and producer Niney The Observer. It was a heated spat that culminated in the pair getting into a fight on the streets of Kingston. This video traces the true origins of that rivalry and the people who instigated the feud.

    It's crazy that bad mind inna dancehall and reggae existed way before bounty and beenie and cartel made the lives and progress in the music industry difficult for certain artists. Those three artist closed alot of doors for fellow artists. Apparently this has been going on from Duke Reid days. I guess bad mind is human nature to be so prevalent in those early days

    Ras, im always amazed when you drop a much greater history than I've known. Yet when you give due respect to people like scratch and leslie kong for example, and justly so, i just remember what i always heard of them as thieves and instigators, i cyant respect them as men. Perry especially, i always noticed a duppy in his spirit. His productions, classic, but i could just feel he was up to worse than i knew of. Thanks for bringing light to this situation, especially to hear how tuff gong was really that tough lol. I dont hear much about him fighting but know his reputation. Much thanks again

    Did you know Bunny Wailer had a feud with Bunny Striker Lee….because Bunny Lee is related to Lesile Kong….and Bunny Wailer put a curse on Lesile Kong over the release of The Wailers Album…. Best of Wailers (1970)….and Leslie Kong actually died soon after….

    Wow, I never knew that Lee and Kong were related! In another video, Ras discussed Kong's insistence on referring to an upcoming Wailers compilation as "The Best Of". So while Bunny replied to the statement as you know, I think that Leslie Kong who ultimately cursed himself.

    These spats were often not as serious as they are made out to be, while sometimes they are worse! It should be remembered that Bunny Lee and Niney were very close friends for most of the time. Niney, Tapper Zuckie , Ossie Thomas (Black Solidarity) were all close Bunny Lee friends and I met them a few times all together in London at Reg's (3Kings) HQ in Battersea. I got to know Bunny very well over several years and asked him who he thought was the best producer in JA he'd ever heard- (Slim Smith was his favourite singer btw) NINEY he said without a second thought.... elaborating that he thought Niney was the most creative song-writer, and changed the sound of reggae the most, and most often. So, yes there is grief , but these great men could turn that into great tunes as well. That is not to say they didnt have (some incredible) hiccups in their friendship along the way, but that's not for me to discuss...
