Dwyane Wade partners with Bob Marleyâs family to celebrate 40th anniversary of âLegendâ album
Dwyane Wade partnered with the late Bob Marley’s family to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the singer’s iconic album “Legend.”
On April 20, the former NBA star, 42, welcomed the “Jamming” musician’s family at the “high Dining” event to honor him 43 years after he died from acral lentiginous melanoma at a private estate in West Hollywood, Calif.
Along with Wade’s partner Jeeter, the No. 1 pre-roll cannabis brand in the US, the three-time NBA champ’s event was a star-studded celebration of cannabis enthusiasts and friends.
Guests — who included Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, Zac Levi, Jay Ellis, Jeff Ross, Seth Green, Trevor Wallace, Karrueche, Nazanin Mandi, Freddie Prinze Jr. and many more — were treated to special performances by Busta Rhymes and Bob’s grandson Skip Marley.
Skip, 27, performed several of his grandfather’s classic songs, including “Jamming,” “Buffalo Soldier” and “One Love.”
During his set, an epic drone show spelled out “One Love” in the air.
Attendees were gifted with a one-of-a-kind Jeeter x Marley One Love collector’s edition, encased in an embossed guitar case.
“Jeeter’s work in the cannabis space has been incredible. Cannabis culture and the Marley movement go hand in hand. Jeeter’s deep dive into Jamaican culture has been a joy to witness, and the results speak for themselves,” said Bob’s daughter Cedella Marley.
Jeeter’s collaboration with the music legend’s family is seeking to help educate the public on Bob’s influence in the societal acceptance of cannabis use as an alternative medicine.
“We’re thrilled to do a collab with the iconic music legend Bob Marley. To make this collaboration genuine, we went to Jamaica to connect with the culture he loved,” Jeeter co-founders Lukasz Tracz and Sebastian Solano said in a joint statement.
“This is all about celebrating Marley’s legacy in a real and respectful way.”
