Fantan Mojah Apologizes To Cindy Breakespeare And Marley Clan, But Says He “Nah Bow To Mutabaruka”

Controversial Reggae artist Fantan Mojah has apologized to Cindy Breakespeare, and the Marley clan for inflammatory comments he made earlier this week in a video that was widely circulated on social media.

“The comments were made outta vexation and ah something I regret saying because mi never need to drag her name into this,” Fantan Mojah told DancehallMag.

Breakspeare was crowned Miss World 1976, and is the mother of Reggae musician Damian ‘Junior Gong’ Marley, through her relationship with Bob Marley, who remained married to Rita Marley until his death. Bob Marley is said to have written the song Turn Your Lights Down Low about her.

“You see sister Cindy Breakespeare..is a lady weh the whole world..the whole Jamaica love. And har son Junior Gong is a bredda to meh. Never disrespect me, yet.”

“Mi might seh something in the first interview, but ah never meant to say sister Cindy Breakespeare because that lady have never done me wrong. So I deeply apologize for the argument dem, weh mi seh,” Fantan Mojah said.

The singer, however, refused to apologize to dub poet and IRIE FM radio broadcaster Mutabaruka.

“He should have called me first before him decide fi go bun me out on air. Two ah we ah public figures and there should be mutual respect, and him never deal with me with respect. Mi nah bow to Muta,” a determined Fantan said.

The recent brouhaha between Fantan and Mutabaruka stemmed from the latter’s criticism of the Fire King song and video, which Muta said, among other things, was not in keeping with the principles of the Rastafarian Bobo Ashanti order.  Fantan clapped back with the inflammatory video and Mutabaruka immediately threatened legal action over the comments that were made, but Fantan is not backing down.

“I will countersue, mi have mi lawyer fi defend mi case. Remember the Europeans did sue Selassie already and when him carry mi go court, him fi memba say ah Selassie I pickney him a carry go court,” Fantan said.

Fantan Mojah was born in White Hill, St Elizabeth. To gain experience, he took a job working with a traveling sound system, and performed songs during sound checks. He adopted the name Mad Killer, in an homage to one of his favorite artists, Bounty Killer. After being exposed to the Rastafarian movement his music began to take on a more positive tone, and he was encouraged by Capleton to take the name Fantan Mojah.

Signed by Downsound Productions, Fantan’s debut album Hail the King was released in 2005, making him a star with songs like Hail the King, Nuh Build Great Man featuring Jah Cure, and Corruption.
