    Yes, he was discriminated and beaten up because of his color. But he kept hussling and instead of getting bitter he became a superstar. A lot of people acting like a victim should learn from it. Much respect to Yellowman.

      Especially in the 🇺🇸 the poor victims and misfortunes would say he’s passing, and be more hateful blame him for their failures. He shows real character, good fe him, like his “strong me strong” , so him carry on!

      Peace to the chief with the Akan royal stool. If you'd please thank King Yellowman for mentioning the children in Africa in "This Old Man", I'd be deeply appreciative. As a Ghanaian girl with some Nigerian ancestry, it felt magical to hear us spoken to from elsewhere. I was misquoting him by singing, "Yellowman, he played four. Remember that Yellowman never did poor". LOL. I'll consider it affirmations & prayers for him. Wishing him and his long healthy, joyful and fulfilling lives. May he know how much he's cherished worldwide.

    Truly the king! Privileged to witness & wowed by his mesmerising performance at TBS Lagos, Nigeria in mid '80s. The concert also featured Kotch, Judy Mowatt, many other reggae acts, Sunny Ade, and Fela. Yellowman and Fela were the concert headline acts. Ranks as the greatest ever concert I watched live to date.

    Love Yellowman. Particularly with the Roots Radics. He was peerless from 1981-85. In the 90s, there was Shabba, Buju, Beenie, Bounty Killer, Ninja Man, and later, Sizzla. But Yellowman did not have any real competition during his peak. He was head and shoulders above the rest. I saw him at the 1986 Reggae Sunsplash and many times since.
