“These people who are spreading rumours don't realise how much of a problem they are posing for the friends and family of these persons who they are 'killing off'. In November, Frankie Campbell, head of the Jamaica Association of Vintage Artistes and Affiliates (JAVAA), lashed out at false information on social media regarding the 'death' of singer Derrick Harriott.

Rita Marley, who was born in Cuba to Jamaican parents, was in 2019 awarded the Order of Jamaica for her contribution to the development of Jamaican music. The other members were Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt. She was a member of the I-Three, the vocal trio which supported her husband during his live performances and recordings.

“Good morning, good morning, good morning… Mommy: 'Say good morning, mommy',” said Cedella on the 36-second video. In a video, Cedella showed her mother, who despite slurring due to a protracted illness, spoke on camera. The reports were quickly dashed by her family but yesterday Marley's daughter, Cedella, went on social media and put all fears to rest. Reports swirled on social media last weekend that the 74-year-old widow of reggae icon Bob Marley, and an artiste in her own right, passed away on Friday.
THE Marleys have decided not to release an official statement regarding a hoax that family matriarch Rita had died.
