        So Mr Bob Marley, which reggae songs of Bobi Wine can we rely on to believe the BBC "source" that he sings reggae?

        Lawd oh Gawd. Dancehall is one of the derivative forms of reggae. It's not one of the sub genres of the latter! Get your facts right son!

        It's not venue mix up, it's fear of embarrassment in comparison of suppporter turn up btn the two rallies #BobiWine #KyadondoEast
