Shenseea Explains Why Bob Marley Is Bigger Than Michael Jackson

At a Los Angeles film premiere, Jamaican singer Shenseea expressed her opinion that Bob Marley is a more famous person than Michael Jackson, and she is sticking by it. Shenseea offended several fans last year with her statement, hoping to break into the American hip-hop scene. However, during the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love, she defended her viewpoint, highlighting Marley’s ongoing cultural effect and global influence.

“I just believe that facts are facts,” Shenseea said in an interview with PEOPLE. “From somebody who came from my country, I go everywhere, and I see people wearing dreads. They’re smoking a big spliff. They have the Rasta colors. They’re trying to emulate who Bob used to be and what he represented,”.

“I just feel like all over the world, you hear some type of reggae music, and Bob Marley is the number one leading act for that,”

“He has inspired me … to take my culture globally in a different generation. He has done it and so it has inspired and motivated me to believe that I could do it,”


Shenseea mentioned being inspired by Bob Marley’s lasting influence and career, spanning generations of fans who still enjoy his music. Marley’s albums remain popular on streaming platforms, briefly interrupted by newer releases before resuming their popularity.

Shenseea also conveyed her respect for Marley’s genuineness and his capacity to remain loyal to himself in spite of his extensive travels and exposure to many cultures—a trait she aspires to imitate in her own life. In the meanwhile, Valentine’s Day is when the biography Bob Marley: One Love is set to open in theaters.
