Makeda Jahnesta Marley was born in Miami, Florida, three weeks after her father, Bob Marley, who was 36 at the time, passed away from cancer.
Nearly 30 years after his passing, his recordings and other star-related products continue to bring in more than $5 million annually from his estate, which had a value of over $20 million.
Prosecutors stated that they anticipated Makeda to get a probationary sentence during the October sentencing.
Who are Makeda Jahnesta’s father and mother?
Makeda was born to Bob Marley and Yvette Crichton, and she is one of the 13 biological children of the reggae icon. She is, in fact, the youngest daughter of Bob Marley.
Makeda is a professional disc jockey (DJ) and motivational speaker who has toured many cities to share his life journey and experienced with fans.
In 2008, Makeda landed herself in police custody after police found her trying to “sneak the pot plants” out of the basement when officers arrived at her home, Caln.
Two years later, she pleaded guilty to having 12 large marijuana plants inside her home in. In exchange for Makeda’s guilty plea, prosecutors in West Chester agreed to drop a mandatory year in jail.
