Snoop Lion hasn’t been the Rastafari movement’s favourite person this week.

First off, reggae giant Bunny Wailer took a pop at the singer’s recent reincarnation, suggesting that the singer’s appropriation of Rastafari culture is “outright fraudulent”. The Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council then stuck in the boot, penning a nine-page letter asking that Snoop apologise for his behaviour and remove the ‘Lion’ part of his name.

A beleaguered Snoop has now had a high-profile defender – Bob Marley’s son Rohan Marley. As TMZ report, Marley the younger has suggested that those who cite Snoop’s worship of the reggae legend as a mark of dilettantism have made a mistake: “Our father’s name should not even be mentioned in this issue because like a true Rasta, he would have embraced Snoop’s reincarnation and welcomed the positivity. Why condemn a man for his love of Rastafari and Bob Marley? We have been cool with Snoop before his transformation and he will continue to have our blessings and support.”
