- For almost two decades reggae legend, Eek A Mouse has been feuding with the family of the late Bob Marley. This video traces the origins of the bizarre quarrel that's still raging till today
I roomed with Eek A Mouse in Paraguay for a couple of weeks. My Paraguayan musician friend Bizarrazo introduced us. Yes, he had a lot of anger at the Marley family for, he said to me, ruining his tour in Brazil. Eek had a lot anger from a long time ago, too. I sincerely hope he is doing well. I am happy to see he is making music in Europe.
Maybe there's some unspoken beefs that Eek A Mouse has that he doesn't mention. I found it interesting that the hit song ended up being one with 2 American singers and not the song done with 2 Jamaican singers. There are a lot of politics that direct who becomes famous or not and what songs become hits or not.

In the words of Peter Tosh, "Money can make friendship end."
So mi deh yah ah waiting fi see the day the dollar die 💵
That's exactly what Peter tosh did.
Even Bob said, “money is numbers, and numbers never end …”
@@josephnuttn3600 True. Tosh was a brilliant man but often a difficult one.
I think your assessment is spot on.
Bless up happy new year !
Happy New Year to you! Big up yourself ❤️💛💚
Even if The Marley’s are wrong, the sad thing is no one is going to care.
Because They are like the popular kids in school who can behave horribly and people still kiss their butt.
But if a non popular person did the same thing they would get dragged.
@@aprilprice2387 exactly! Sad but so true.
Yes, I need to hear this story.
Unfortunately, nothing is bizarre anymore.. we live in an overdosed world of despicable behavior.. Love 🌹😁🌿 and Peace ✌🏻
love eek a mouse hes got a peter tosh vibe love the marleys too i hope they can shake hands a house divided will fall
thanks for this. I didn't understand why he was attacking the Marley familie. I just bought tickets to go see Eek-A-Mouse live in March
🙂
I met Mouse in a bar last year in Rotterdam. He was down to earth , a gentleman and mixing with normal folk in the bar. More than can be said for the millionaire sellout Marley boys , driving sports cars around Miami and living in mansions. Maybe hes a bit crazy but Eek a Mouse gets my vote!!!
The Marley’s are not sell outs clown, they’re just successful and you sound super jealous.
I guarantee you have no idea what the Marley house looks like just like chat. So they should live in huts to please you?
Well, they do live in million dollar estates. Stephen bought another one in the Florida area last year and you can see the house and property in the real estate listing.
@@DaveG425 once again I ask, what price should they live in? Should they live in the ghetto? I've never seen anybody complaining about how anybody spending their own money which they work hard for
I didnt say they shouldnt be living in a mansion. I am all for it. But facts are facts. The Marley’s are very wealthy and live in huge mansion estates.
Before the confusion, it was all love. I feel like some people think they are bigger than others. Eek is a Reggae legend. Bob is a musical Icon! The Marley children are Reggae students to the game but have plenty power. I wish I had the money to make Eek stop telling people business, lol. When Eek talk about what happen “once upon a time” you should listen.
Mouse is a veteran not legend, that word gets overused
Never knew anything bout dis......
Couple of things to mentioned.
Bob was NOT from Trench town. Nine Mile is where Robert Nestor Marley is from.
And during his exile, Eek lived in Europe for a period of time … But that’s another story!
His first hits were Creation and My Father’s Land were his first releases which he released using his real name in the mid 1970s.
If I remember one of his school / college teacher’s produced the tracks.
Hilton recorded for Joe Gibbs in the 1980s it should be mentioned whilst he singjayed with various sound systems…
Ah wah do dem was not popular with the radio stations due to its slack lyrical content so he released Modeling Queen from his first ever album entitled Bubble Up Yu Hip.
The still alive legend Linval Thompson produced those tracks for him on Linval’s label Thompson Sound in JA.
Eek was actually on the Island label for a time as well and acted a small role in the flick new Jack City and Out For Justice.
Believe me, Ripton is and has always been a colorful man!
‘’He no dun yet, believe me!’’
Which part of Wah Do Dem have slack lyrics? It was a long running #1 on radio for weeks
@@Wilcoranking Where i live it was considered part and parcel of dancehall not welcome on mainstream radio plus he did very little P.A work to promote the single outside of the normal marketing of this hit single.
Radio land was bad back then and if you know, you know ‘bout Payola…
His name wa not " NESTOR" professor...NESTA was his name. You come to " educate" then at least get his name right.
@@michelrood2966 its what I wanted to write NESTA!!!
Respect!
That crazy . ....news....
Shhhhh. . ..just wacky up with the music. Level up with the pum pum.
Apparently the list popular where i come from..
big up mr rypton. eeka speeka and we listen.
rough life for a tough mouse, i wish him well
Getting paid for studio sessions and Origjnal vocal royalties are two different entities.
🔥assassinator🧡
Do you have any videos of Philip Fraser or earl zero
Check out 'world sound and power' soul syndicate doco if you haven't seen it?
Well, he is right about the Grammy for Habakka pyramid because that shit was whack and Ziggy gave up on reggae a long time ago plus Damien’s recent album only had about three reggae songs in it 🤦🏽♂️
Khaki suit was a big song. He should get publishing. Problem is they did no split sheet so it was all on word.
The Mouse has, unfortunately, not learned the business and politics of music. Bob Marley was adept in music business and its politics, and I'm sure his children are well versed in that arena. The Mouse can never win this war. He just need to stay in his lane, drink coconut water, sleep and make great music for his fans. Jah love!
Lol….if Bob was sooo adept at bizniz etc him woulda did fix him will etc….
@@pamelahart6145 I think that was due to his beliefs, but you have a point though 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Him need more than coconut water. A good dose of Wry & Nephew will settle him fi real
@@pamelahart6145FACTS
Wow
EEKa weird but he ain't wrong. You can't ban a legend either. Chris Blackwell is probably the real culprit
Ofcourse!! He's got the wrong colour as a confirmed argument!
And you got the same colonial attitude as many people frozen in victim role thinking in colours.
Externalisation.
CW did a lot of great work, also the production of first album Grace Jones. Legendary.
If what mouse says is true, he should try another approach to get his money, as this one is not working.
He is a legend.u need to know how
Mr. Mouse should quit drinking alcohol.
Him need more herbs 🔋🪴 🌿 and less rum 🪫 🍹😅
@@bigdawg3305 We all need! 😇
I guess being the Marley empire is not enough, so heartical, greed, one of my favourites. Hold strong Mouse.
If your not in the music industry then you have no idea what the truth is ,, all yall can do is assume and post your opinions ,, but the truth soon come out ,,
You yourself Eek a mouse on a video that I have seen with my own two eyes said crack cocaine killed Dennis brown. Stop clout chasing...Silence is golden
Peace. Blood cloth. Life will beautiful
The Sing J Style I Think Was Reggae Singer Little John’s Brainchild
Eek a mouse might perhaps need prayers. Blessings to the Marley clan and Eek A Mouse
So the Marleys can't do no wrong?
@@chicfiniI never said that, that is the consensus you came to
The Marleys don't waste time.This is a power move they learn from their mother and stepmother, Dr. the Honourable Mrs. Rita Marley. They are too busy to respond to everything. Silence is a traditional power move🎉
Both sides should admit by now that the feud is a great publicity stunt, especially for Mouse.
Every Jamaican and Reggae fan loves a good little beef every now and then.
Both a dem need to find Jah RasTafari for real.
What yu talkin bout stunt????
You only know half the story…as bob once said, half the story has never been told…
It’s all those out there who think like you that only know half the 😊story.
@@richmck007 People like I who think like what exactly?
I doubt that, they were friends, Mouse have real talk. I was always a fan of the Marley's.I buy any Marley tune on vinyl, i have stopped because of what I've seen them done with the industry, it's overpowering, I'm saddened.
@@music_warrior369 Why do you doubt that they were friends?
They were both from the same general area and both in the Reggae music movement.
I am not saying they were close friends but they knew each other and hung out from time to time.
I feel you on the Marleys.
6 figures for khaki suit eh? 🤣
I remember buying one of his albums. But after listening to it I took it back to the shop. I know he got famous. That was the only record I ever took back
If that album was Wa-Do-Dem then you have have to re evaluate your tastes
Your mommy must be proud😂
You don't urderstand reggae, Dennis. Simple as that.
All these Mouseketeers, please name his top 5 best hits
I love a lot of his music, but the man's become da Freek a Mouse. I've bought his music since the the early 80's and gone to see him live many times. I just think he's gone around the bend. Everyone creates their own reality. His is not a happy one.
I've watched videos years ago regarding the Eek a mouse/ Marley family feud. My opinion is the mouse was certainly dead broke after returning from the USA and definitely strapped of cash.. Damian's promise (which wasn't legally binding by the way) was the only thing he could latch on to..And when expectations failed ...he railed at everyone related or acquainted to the Marley family...Ease off on the substance, Mousey 🐁..Just ease off...!!!!
There is some substance in Eek A’ experiences…..always been some rumours about Yvad’s treatment ….bet u few memba Yvad…
Ras n Ras suppose to speak truth n that truth includes among demselves…if u a bash Eek-a- Mouse, wonder wat ur views r on what was done to the Barrett Brothers etal…when u tawking foundation, u tawking The Barrett Brothers…
@@pamelahart6145I agree. People tend to blow off certain people pain without listening carefully to what they are saying, I'm sure part of the accusations has good merit.
@@rasempress9724Hmmm deep, everyone is bashing the guy, but part of what he is angry about MUST have some merit.. it's like if the Marley can do no wrong.
Eeks needs psychological help
He's not the originater of sing J, that would be Big Youth, I love this channel but let's get the info right
By the way the album was halfway tree
It was not. The album was welcome to jamrock
@@noahvizzianit was on the Japanese version of half way tree
And
Didn't Eek accuse Bob Marley of using coke? lol
Yeah he did
he wasn't the only one
Not just Bob
You never know what happens behind close doors as coke is a regular player with artists … Most of the big acts use coke like we know …
@@jzkramerwho else?
All I listen to is reggae and mostly Jamaican roots and will never put on anything marley unless it’s very early wailers
Never heard any of the Marley family music, other then Bob, but nothing can touch Eek-A-Mouse who is a DON :)
If he was a don. Hé wouldnt bé winning over $4000.
And sadly enough an alcoholic.....
@@josephnuttn3600 If that be the case, hope he can overcome this struggle, nontheless nothing can take his
contribution away :)
Eek in New Jack city......eh dreadlocks.....😱😱
Eeek A should concentrate on his own career and be Positive about Life
Love mouse.......
The Marley kids had messed with the wrong man. Eek-a-Mouse went really hard and rough on them. The lowest one being calling Rita the ugliest girl that Bob could find in the Ghetto. That was below the belt.
What difference that going to make attacking an elderly woman in a wheel chair?
@@Wilcoranking it was meant to hurt the Marley kids.
@@TheMightyKingzuru I understand that, but the fact is that is not going make them any more ready to give him anything, quite the opposite... That's the action of an eediat
Eak
None of the Marley kids could come close to Eek-A-Mouse in quality
Fact Mouse start that dancehall shit let's talk about it
Bread in di oven baking 🍞 here come the rude boy Jamaican
Even Yellowman say that Eak a mouse put him inna dancehall business
Different kettle of fish, that’s why
@@bigdawg3305That’s true
That’s a unfair statement because the Marley youths have made quality music throughout the years.
The mouse is just hungry who need a cat attack or rat block
The way i see it... The mouse is run out of cheese, and seems to me he's all about the cheese.
4000 u.s for a big song like khaki suit ,big foolishness ,but it’s life ,people will always do you whatever to you when they thing you have no value or weak ,honestly I don’t listen to music like that anymore,it’s just too much greed
Except interpreting their father's songs, what else can Bob's children do
And it is not that they are lacking talent.
They have isolated themselves from real people to be part of the ruling class.
EEKxperience?
Reggae legend that nobody has heard about. That word legend is thrown about so loosely these days.
Well, not defending him, because he's obviously wrong, but he is a legend. If you are a neophyte who has never heard of him, that's your problem. Every serious Reggae fan knows his work.
@@Luiz.Campos nuff people who juss find our music a try tell we bout it….
@@Luiz.Campos He is not a reggae legend.
@@westyraviz Maybe not for you (and nobody cares about It). But he is indeed for a lot of people.
@@Luiz.Camposhe's a veteran not legend
The Mouse must make better music. That is it. Unfortunately the tales of the hunt only glorify the Hunter. We will hear from the lion.
What reggae album does the Mouse have that can better any of the Marley's music? Let us be honest. The grammys aside eek a Mouse aint at the same level. The rest let us, the fans decide who is great
this man is a mad man
Has Bob ever taken drugs?
Bob Marley is dead. He is the ONLY Marley.
Why anyone is all up in his pickney is just embarrassing
The Marleys have definite sold out beyond what was once thought possible. Selling their father's name on everything you can name. Considering every single reggae award is to the latest Marley child album. no matter how mediocre it is. Eek has definitely dropped in quality with his output, but there is a lot of fishy business going on in the music world.
the plot thickens....marleys sold out... if you know how the shitstem work, then the i will feel, who feels it knows it....Uncle Bob turning
The dutty bwoy Damien marley. Robbed eaka mouse. Kaki suit.
Wasn't Bounty on the same song, him get rob?
Just for doing being didde Beng beng bong Deng Deng?
Eek needs to stop embarrassing himself as he was given a golden opportunity and a feature by Damian on the album Jamrock ( while cash strapped)....I don't think the Marley's (not all) are as bad as he paints them
.mess…’unnecessary, embarrasing feud’. ….when the Barrett Brothers had their court case going, was that ‘embarrassing’ n fi who…u need fi go siddung one side…tooooo many of our artistes have been robbed n sidelined ….heck, even the great TOOTS in this new century had to sue to get paid for Bam Bam..u know how long ago he did that song….i keep saying that the scene in the movie THE HARDER THEY COME, where the promoter ‘deals’ wid di fledging artist , it is an eye into the yaad music scene…still deh bout
He sued for copyright infringement, which only took place a few years ago
And how did it go. Everyone wants a piece of the pie
@@ezaius2011 some DESERVE their slice….the Barrett Brothers certainly did…”Mr. Marley wrote and sang the songs and was the band’s soulfully charismatic frontman. Mr. Barrett arranged and often produced the music. He also kept the band organized during its constant touring, earning him the nickname Family Man - or, to his close friends, Fams.
“Family Man was a genius,” Wayne Jobson, a reggae producer, said in a text message. “As the architect and arranger of Bob Marley’s songs, he took reggae to the stratosphere.”
As a big fan of roots reggae I find the modern Marley music, including this song, completely unlistenable. It is all overproduced pop/rap/dancehall, so I really don't care what they do or argue about...
Not too mention the harm they have done to countless vintage reggae musicians through their replacement of 'the joint' radio slot with tuff gong radio on SiriusXM..pure greed and Babylon mentality
I wouldn't go and see any of them playing music if they were playing in my backyard
Seriously? The Marley brothers have been the most consistent brand of reggae music for like 30 years now. You trippin.
@@DaveG425 brand is definitely the right word for it..living off the old man's name and slapping his image on any crapp they can make a buck off. There's far better reggae been made in the last 30 years than what they produce, they definitely have better exposure though
You must be like 60+ years old. They are my generation and kept me on the right track in life as a kid with good uplifting music. That was what Bob wanted, he literally trained them to be what they are today. You must hate Bob.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT ❤😊
Nobody asked. ♥️😉
Why did you comment?
I’ve met down and out people like him and they are always the ones hating on who is shining. The entire Marley Family is reggae royalty. Eek is just a servant. Just deal with it. And I know for a fact that Stephen is an og. So eek is lucky it was just words over the phone and not something much more serious. Don’t let the jah love vibe fool you, dem some rude boy Jamaicans about their money. Nothing wrong with that. Look at the poverty in JA back when reggae started and still now. Who want to live like that? So why hate on the Marleys brothers for being business savvy and continuing to spread their pops message and keep his dream alive? Its not exploitation. Its been a brand since Bob took off.
I loved Eek a Mouse till he called Our BoB Marley not one of them because he has white father......😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ziggy a sellout ...
What him sell and to who?
@@WilcorankingHe sold his support to Israel, sadly.
You sound really biased and for the record I think mouse is nuts
As shown in his posts; he's an alcoholic. And the more he drinks the more dutty him talk....
Personaly i dont like fakers .crack heads me naa listen to 😂😂😂🔥 upon slackness
Khaki suit was a big hit...just pay him
Eek mouse gay 😂😂😂😂
He's not. And btw people calling others batty bwoy are definitely as homophobic as those against rainbow flag. With or without a wig and lipstick.
@@josephnuttn3600Didn't Eeka say he was gay?😂
Eek A Mouse is at a crossroads in his life, is better he light a candle in the dark than cursing the darkness. Coming up against the Marley family, is like coming up against royal family of England, for real man. He is making himself look very silly, get his lawyer on the case. His best bet is to deal with the law, these problems are not solve with words of mouth, only by law. He sounds rather entertaining. They should have kept their side of the deal. But man too man is so unjust, you don't know who to trust. That's the reason why you should use pen and paper my brother. The days of making deal by mouth is gone. A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; to every single song, sings because it has song to sing. There are no friend in this industry, it maybe hard to believe. Look at the friendship between Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Thank you for sharing.
No they are not royal family they are just Jamaicans.
@@9_9_13 Well, nuff respect to you, you're not walking around with your eyes closed. But don't tell me tell them in Jamaica, I'm from the UK and British Royal Family don't mean a damn thing to me. Because I'm black first, I don't around Bob Marley, Bob Marley. Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Dr Frances Cress Welsing, Dr John Henrik Clarke. Bob Marley father is a European, every single child is their father's seed. Life don't come from a woman, every single human lives came from a men. Bob Marley is the son of a white man, so the father so the son. Over stand? I'm a Rasta man, don't get it twisted. Selassie don't mean nothing to me, Selassie is Arab who was born in Ethiopia. Ethiopians are Christians and Jews, there is no links to Rastafari, Selassie was a Christian. Don't get it twisted, don't get me started. My comments was just lighthearted, you just got to know who I'm. You will never know sharp a sword is unless it's drawn from it's sheath, I'm a Rasta man 🤔 I believe in delusional mindset of Christian, feel free to call me a Jew if you want to, from the 12 tribes of Israel, not this one's 🇮🇱 they're Europeans, over stand? Look forward to hearing from you, most high blessings.
@@gerardmartin9873you definitely need some help. Or oil on your lamp. You sure got some serious issues....😂
@@josephnuttn3600 I respect your opinion because your opinion is a true reflection of your mindset. But it doesn't mean I'm going to take any advice from you.
You are going across like a bloody fools, I'm not a religious person. Religion to me is bull sh*t. If your oil was that good, you would keep it for yourself.
I don't look up to one, I don't even look up to God. If when you see my father, you see me and if you see me you see my father. Why should I look up to him? When we're on the same level.
You fools that make the so called Marley family, your Lords and personal saviors. Not me, I don't give a fuck if they live or die. They don't keep the food and drink on my table. They don't keep the clothes on my back, they don't keep the shoes no my feet. They don't keep the roof over my head, they're no benefits to me. Watch who you are talking to, ignorant child minded individual.
Eek a mouse is a psychopath
Eek a mouse is not a Legend
Yes he is. Your opinion does not change this.
He's a veteran. That's something else.
Bretherin,bob is not from trench town. Know you maybe ignorant to that fact.bob move to trench town from st Ann 9 miles when he was a teenager,ok?
@@FinanceUp711 so you going to tell I who grow in Jamaica around bob where he come from,and what the metaphors of our language means? That’s the problem with the internet.there are ones putting disinformation in the world to ignorant ppl who suck it up as facts.for you info….my father Thaught bob to drive and took him for his permit test.look it,a elder called Desmond langmore(on to higher heights)
Only fools lean on their own misunderstandings!
My father grew up in the yard right next to Bob Marley in Trench town on 5th street so yes I have a right to speak on it and 2nd hand knowledge from someone who was there in the yard next door when they were recording the 1st songs before it went to the studio. My dad knew Peter Tosh, Martimo Planno , and all those guys. Whats your name I will ask my dad if he knows you? Thats the problem with fools like you you make assumptions and dont know who your talking to. Like you said its the internet so you just proved your own point fool@@Dan-yf5ew
On top of that everything I said was facts. I know you are not from trench town talking that bs your talking@@Dan-yf5ew
