Biggest celebrity to come out of the WI
In reply to black
Based on your definition it has to be Rihanna
Bob is a movement a pathway a prophet and a philosopher
In reply to black
In Bobs era, he was... He filled 200k stadiums across the globe. Currently, Rihanna is, but I dont think she can fill 200k stadiums globally... With that being said, Bob is King.
In reply to black
Rhi Rhi maybe more popular now with especially with the explosion of social media/internet access.
Bob became a global icon as Pondi sates a movement without that access.
Socafighter!
Guy says he's over 7ft tall and a multibillionaire. No contest!!

Dude. One day, Rihanna's fans will be dead like many of Bob's. Or they will simply grow out of this part of their life and look for more mature and worthwhile content.
Not sure we'll be around at that time, to ask this very question.
The fact that we're even talking about a man who dead and gone (in his mid 30s) for 40 years now...

In reply to JahJah

Bob's music will last for ever, but the Fenty brand is soaring, she has not release a new album in years, yet her brand is soaring, with a networth of $600 million.Link Text

Usain Bolt anyone?
In reply to imusic
On a personal note, do you know how I can save my Apple music unto a file?
I know I will lose the material, when I stop paying for it, so I want to keep it.
In reply to openning
I'll hail you out later

If after READING what Jah Jah wrote you asked that question, look our Courtesy coming for you with another exhibit.
In reply to imusic
I do not think he is number 1 but number 2 (ahead of Rihanna).
Hard to reach the Bob Marley level.
In reply to openning
If wealth was the yardstick then Lee Chin would be the one.
How about Sean Paul, he is very popular internationally, might be on the same level with Rihanna and his music could last longer

What you talking bout man ? He's small fry man.
In reply to bravos
Bob Marley....he will live on forever
Nicki big in de dance too yinno..biggest female rapper in history and bigger than many top male rappers too simmi..
It's easy to compare current people like Rhianna and Nicki etc with their contemporaries with social media following and net worth etc..
But Bob Marley is a legend who's music has stood the test of time..
RhiRhi is a successful popstar among many in the highest earning genre and with the help of merchandise etc..
Would you say she's better than Whitney or Mariah simply because of her net worth ?
"Ay Ay Ay" ?
In reply to bravos
Tough call, her voice is not better but she is a better entrepreneur.
In reply to black
So what is 'top celebrity' in these times then ? Bank balance only? Social media followers ? Accolades accumlated in your field/genre ?
? ? ?
In reply to bravos
All of the above.
to think of it...kim kardashian ent release an album in 2 years either... ...

Bob is more enduring for sure, Rhi is a commercial Phenom ,something like Disney creation Hanna Montana.
Would not surprise me if more people on the planet have probably heard more about Usain Bolt than Bob Marley
In reply to bravos
The post is about the biggest celeb, Bob made it thru his music, Lara, Gayle cricket, Bolt T&F, Rhi Rhi singing and her Fenty brand.
I would never compare Bob brand of music around the globe to Rhianna, but the Fenty brand along with her music, put her in a category with others around the globe.
I don't know who is the biggest celebrity from the region, I do know she is in the top ten.
I have one of Rhi Rhi song in my collection, cannot count the number of Bob's.
I downloader Love on the Brain from the Voice, not knowing it was a Rhianna song, because I liked it.
In reply to openning
Exactly..
In reply to imusic
Whatever happened to your prognostication that he'd be discovered to take drugs?
--Æ.
Bob,
Jabbar tied with Usain
Rihanna
The rest.
In reply to black
Everyone has heard of Bob Marley. Not sure everyone has heard of Rihanna.
In reply to JahJah
Don't come in here talking about Bob when your kind is what called out all is life
When I lived in Brooklyn , going to Manhattan via the Subway , I always
bought the New York Times , No not as
a status Symbol , but for its comprehensive Coverage of Events in the USA ; and also in the World .
One day I opened the New York Times ,on the front page ,I saw a photo of Bob Marley , being greeted by a very Large Crowd , at the main Airport in
Germany .
That was the first time that I realized that Bob Marley and
his Band were International Music Stars .

You mixin me up with Horsie and the needles in the garbage story
My "prognostication" was not that at all. I maintain to this day that all of them take something. So just make it legal and done all the ole talk.
