Bunny Wailer
Reggae legend Bunny Wailer, a devout Rastafarian, reportedly left a “significant” percentage of his estate to the Rastafari community, the first major Reggae artist to have made such a bold stipulation in his final will and testament.
The
Blackheart Man singer passed away on Tuesday, March 2 at the age of 73, and will reportedly be buried at his Dreamland Farm, a 142-acre estate located snugly on the border of St Thomas and Portland.
Maxine Stowe, close partner of Bunny Wailer, told
DancehallMag that “when the COVID-19 pandemic and other dust settles with the burial of Bunny at his estate, the various beneficiaries will be satisfied.”

A major source of concern for some of the Rastafarian community in Jamaica is the introduction of the Covid-19 vaccine to battle the deadly virus. Many have voiced concerns about how quickly the vaccine was created while others have questioned why the manufacturers will not be held responsible for any adverse reactions.
Several influential Rastafarian entertainers like Buju Banton, Sizzla, Spragga Benz and Tony Rebel have been vocal in their stances against the vaccine. The reaction is not surprising as some of the Rastafarian community are well known for their distrust of modern medicine.
However, at least one sect of the community, the Rastafari Millennium Council has called on Rastafarian entertainers to not only think about their careers but the elders in their communities who are disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
