Not as wild of a take as you'd think tbh
This. Bob Marley is absolutely huge all over the planet
Tbh that specifically is arguably debatable but even if it wasn’t why do we reward people making wild takes with attention and discourse
Like replace Marley with Vybz Kartel or some nigga who’s obviously nowhere near Mike (respectfully) and we’re still in here talking about it lol
This isnt a wild take at all if youre not american
y'all acting like she said some wild s***. There are very few artists who are in the MJ realm, Bob Marley is 100% one of them.
It's wrong, but you have to consider she's Jamaican and raised in Jamaica lmao.
Growing up in her context Bob Marley was absolutely likely bigger in her lenses specifically
I could say “Fela Kuti is bigger than MJ”. My dad would probably choke from laughter.

Well yes because as big as Fela Kuti was he was not on the level of icon as a Michael Jackson or Bob Marley. Don't think anybody would put him on their level. With MJ and Bob you can make an argument of them being on same level of iconic.
Artists who are on the global mega icon level are MJ, Bob Marley, The Beatles, and maybe Tupac.
Imma be real I don't like how y'all so quick to brush her off as some "Jamaican artist thinks Jamaican artist is as big as Michael Jackson" s***.
Like it is alot of people worldwide of many generations who love Bob Marley and know who he is. He is pretty much the face of an entire genre, movement, and even religion.
TBH, she’s Jamaican so I see why she holds that perspective
She said “IM BIASED”
I see Bob Marley T shirts but I don't see MJ T shirts.
Marley didn’t have controversy

No one is brushing her off but it's not uncommon for someone to believe that the person who was larger than life and put their country on the map would be seen in a high regard to someone from that country
