YBF Exclusive: Lauryn Hill Is Preggers!
YBF snitches say it’s baby #5 for the estranged couple!
Everybody knows about Lauryn’s turbulent summer as she appeared like she was on that illegal white at damn near all her shows. She wasn’t pleased to hear all the negative feedback and reviews, so she reverted back to some old ways.
Sources tell YBF that she went looking for her womanizer of a baby’s father, Rohan Marley, Bob Marley’s son, and Kevin Federline’s good buddy… for some comfort. She is now pregnant with her 5th child by him and it will be his 7th in total as he has 2 from a college marriage he denied. His dad set the record at 11. Rohan is now M.IA. (surprise, surprise) from her life and is said to have now moved to Ethiopia. His myspace page makes no reference to Lauryn or their children and states he is “single”.
Hope he can kick in some of that Bob Marley royalty money for Child Support so she does not have to sadden us with another “hustling for dollars even though she’s a mess tour”. Damn…good luck with that Lauryn. You heard it here FIRST on YBF.

Now, I need some help with this. What IS Lauryn’s history with Rohan? Am I the only one really in the dark with this? So they were never married? He’s always cheated? Is he the reason she’s so warped? I mean, I love Lauryn LOVE HER I even bought her Unplugged album AND the dvd.
But I can’t halfway understand most of those songs. They’re incomplete and you can tell that she was going through something even then, but I had no clue it was dealing with ‘this’. I thought she and her ‘husband’ were tight, united by the universe, waiting on the Mothership together.
What happened?

She’s unmarried…and the man obliviously does not care enough to stay with her…she’s good enough to be a ‘friend with benefits’ type BUT not a wife. Finally Lauryn Hill is incapacitated. She is either under the influence of drugs or sometime of mental illness…unless he’s in the same condition as she is Mr. Marley is very very much in the wrong to continue sleeping with her and having kids by her. Shame on all involved.

You all have the audacity to run your mouth about her life, but most of you got kids without fathers too, and will never accomplish half the shit she has accomplished. I hate jealous, judgmental ass people who can talk shit online. When you get her Grammy’s, her talent, and her influence on music and people, then we’ll talk. Until then most of you need to shut the fuck up, because you dont know anything about the woman besides the shit you read on internet blogs, which shows how hypocritical you are, because you claim you don’t care, yet you all on her jock when a news story drops.
Secondly, why believe a bullshit ass story with no source except a mysterious “Source”. Get the fukk outta here with that. Where’s the REAL information here. Not some bullcrap Hollywood gossip stand foolishness.
Secondly aint shit wrong with having a child without being married. You twits have been so moronized by all that biblical shit, you can’t see reality. And moreso, both Rohan and Lauryn have said time and time again in the beginning that their marriage was a spiritual one and that they didn’t believe in court marriage or church marriages. They were married in their eyes, and in their spirits. And that’s all that count. Half of ya’ll cant talk, cuzz you fucking random people without a wedding ring yourself.
What ya’ll need to do is realize that the bible aint shit but a bunch of laws written by some old white and middle eastern men, in a very dark and primitive time in man’s history. Do you honestly thing God gives a fucking shit about you strapping a piece of gold, and getting some minister, who’s probably comitting adultery himself behind the scenes, to say it’s ok. Nigga please. If you wanna get married, all you gotta do is find someone you truly love and say “We’re married” and carry on your muthafuckin business. Get a brain people. Your delusional faith in a religion of lies and contradictions will be the death of you. What is too become of you??
Vicious, judgmental hypocrites who have nothing to do in life but talk shit about other people.
But Lauryn is a millionaire, with one of the greatest female voices in modern history, and is one of the greatest musical composers and songwriters of our generation, with awards all up and out the ass. 99% of ya’ll shit would be lucky if you could hold a note, let alone find your old high school trophy.
Sit the fuck down with this.
And I wish you goof ass bloggers would stop posting that stupid ass picture of her. Because you very well fucking know that picture was purposefully taken with the intent of making her look stupid.
Ya’ll some petty ass negros. This kind of judgmental, hypocrisy, is exactly the type of self-hatred that keeps blacks down. Because one of our own decided to be an aloof intellectual, instead of popping her pussy on BET, she’s crazy. Fuck outta here.

Lauryn keeps her business private as it should be. Wyclef even admitted to the NewYork times this week that he has not seen or spoken to her in over a year and a half; therefore, he is doing as you and trying to bring harm to someone you have no first hand knowledge about.

nterview w/ Rohan - Talks about Ms Hill

——————————————————————————–
Rohan Marley: Thread of a Lion
By Kathy Iandoli
The passing of Robert Nesta Marley in 1981 marked the unfortunate death of a true musical revolutionary. Since then, the spirit of the Tuff Gong has echoed through every song he created and in the remarkable talent among his amazing children. Our first embrace of son Rohan Marley occurred when her majesty Lauryn Hill named him the father of her children. Despite his successful career in football, the world had never witnessed the true creativity bestowed upon Rohan from his father - until now.
While the image and likeness of Bob Marley is plastered across the t-shirts of fans, ganja-smoking groundlings and unfortunately quasi-activists, Rohan Marley has chosen to create a clothing line that he feels pays proper respect to his father’s legacy. Teaming with long-time Marley fan, designer Stefano Aldighieri, Rohan Marley has created a clothing line that embraces the lion without exploiting it. Tuff Gong clothing is a welcomed addition to the gear of the street disciple, both lion and lioness. The vintage stitching provides enough comfort to both lounge and march, yet still in tune with the Rastafarian roots.
When we sat down with Rohan Marley, he playfully vibed with us about his wife Ms. Hill, the effect of his father on both his clothing and life, and his unspoken dream of bringing his music to the forefront.
AllHipHop.com Alternatives: Looking at the clothing on the Tuff Gong website, the designs are crazy! How did you manage to promote the Tuff Gong movement/your father’s legacy and incorporate it into the clothing?
Rohan Marley: Well being into clothing myself - you know my sister is a fashion designer and has a [clothing] line - so I like nice things. My old lady [Lauryn Hill], she’s such an impeccable woman that dresses so nice that it rubbed off on me, and I wanted to do something that would have the essence of my family. Looking at my dad, I grew up watching him and loving his style. I always wanted my stuff to fit like his stuff. I was just always inspired by how he wore his clothes differently, and his music - just the whole everything you know?
Then I decided - you know someone asked if we had an interest in a clothing line. I’m like, “Yeah we do.” I listened to myself, came up with the ideas, and met with Stefano Aldighieri, whose background is way extensive. So we decided to run with it man and get inspiration from all over the world and my dad mostly, ya know? Yah mon, so that’s where it came from. It came from his style mainly.
AHHA: What was it about Stefano’s [Aldighieri] vision that made you want to partner up with him?
Rohan: Well I went into a store on Robertson [Street] while I had the concept in my head, and this guy was like, “I’m the contact for this company blasé blase.” So I said, “Give me a card.” He said, “I’m really kind of busy, but there’s this guy [Aldighieri]. He was the Creative Director for Levi’s and the Seven line and he just stopped. He doesn’t want to do anything, he’s just relaxing, but loved your dad. He wanted to take a year off hiatus, but really loved your dad so you never know.” So I said, “Well alright I want to meet him!” So I met with him, told him my ideas and stuff. He said, “Yeah this is good. Let me see what you’re doing. I don’t really wanna do anything right now. I’m just taking a break.” I came back with some sketches and we joined forces. He loved the ideas, the vision and everything. He loves the whole movement, because of where he’s from. His background - he’s very much into the whole Black Panther movement; he’s roots.
The both of us saw eye to eye and we adapted our visions together, because we have the same purpose. We didn’t want to work with sweatshops, but all of the things my father stood for. That’s what we wanted to represent with Tuff Gong clothing. So [Stefano] loved my designs and we just moved from there. He put his designs together and now we collaborate in everything we do, from colors to watches. We just do it as a team. It was just a mystic vibe. Marc Jacobs wanted to hire him - he’s a top dude; he’s top quality.
AHHA: On the clothing designs, there really isn’t a heavy presence of your father’s face. Was that intentional?
Rohan: Yeah because I am Bob Marley. He’s a movement. Yes we have some images of him, but it’s more of a movement. It’s the fit and the spirit of the garment. Like when you put on the clothes, there’s a Marley fit. You see my dad. It’s the whole cut. It’s the Marley vibe and the Marley essence. We have some things of my dad, yes, but we wanted to do more for the product rather than use my dad to sell the garments. He’s already the inspiration anyway. We put on the clothes and it fits like how he wore his clothes. It’s all him. It’s intentional, but not intentional. That’s the way it is.
AHHA: When you see images of your father on posters and shirts everywhere, do you see that as paying homage or exploiting his memory?
Rohan: It’s not exploiting really, but you can’t control it either. We call that bootlegging. That’s why we chose to have our own [clothing line] that’s not bastardizing my father’s image. Tuff Gong was something he started in the ‘60s, so we continued with the company and run it like how he’d run it. I’m not something that sprung up from the wild. This is the root. We are the roots, and all of the things you see out there, we started these things. All of those Rastafari movements through generations and forefathers, we must continue with [that]…and continue my father’s message. We want the company to be at a point where it can help itself and help people, ya know? You might not see my dad’s image on the garments, but you see his words. In each of our garments, there’s a line from one of his songs in the waistline, so it’s embedded inside of you.
AHHA: Your father recently had a street named after him in Brooklyn.
Rohan: Bob Marley Boulevard. Yup! I was there! I represented for the whole family there.
AHHA: How did that come about?
Rohan: I guess the people of Brooklyn really wanted to do it. [The Marley family] didn’t really have anything to do with it. Because of the community [in Brooklyn] being of Caribbean and African descent, they wanted to have a representation of the Gong. When you see the name, it means peace and love. It’s a good thing in a way because things won’t change overnight, but the more visibility the [Marley] name gets, the more people it will help. It’s like seeing the name of Jesus Christ. Not saying that my father was like Jesus Christ, but what he represents, ya know. Like Hallie Selassie I, what his name represents. It stands for unity, togetherness, and strength. That’s what Tuff Gong is. That’s the name he chose to use back in the day. So we’re just continuing the movement.
AHHA: Having a father who’s a legend, and a wife who’s a living legend, how has that affected your relationship with music?
Rohan: It hasn’t affected, more like infected. [laughs] I’m more comfortable with [music]. You may not know this, but I am also musical. I have some musical qualities and an ear for music, so I contribute in that way.
AHHA: Do you think you will ever put your music out there?
Rohan: Yeah, if I can find a song that I can sing. I’m like this: if I were a musician, I’d only sing Bob Marley covers. [laughs] I’d only sing his music, because when I sing my father’s music it brings tears to my eyes, so it’s like a feeling it gives me. And yeah, one day I’d like to give that to the people because it’s something special, but for now I will stick to the garments and put my soul and what I believe in into it. But one day, right? Anything is possible. We have the ability to do anything.
AHHA: Speaking of fathers, how has fatherhood changed you?
Rohan: Fatherhood hasn’t really changed me much or made me more responsible because my purpose is to nurture my seeds and look after the youths. Fatherhood is just something I grew into. It’s about being more open-minded and humble. [Fatherhood] doesn’t change you, it teaches you.
AHHA: Will you be making a Tuff Gong children’s line?
Rohan: Yeah, once this men’s line gets some wings. [laughs] Once everyone knows about the men’s line we can give it to the sons and daughters. Most definitely though, because we want everyone to be part of the movement. It’s not a fad; it’s a movement. Once you become part of the movement you have to contribute to society and pursue other avenues for our brothers and sisters - Black, White, Chinese, Indian, any color or creed because we work with everyone. Our goal is to help humanity and make a change, someway, somehow. By any means necessary, whether you have to do it through garment, or acting, cooking, anything - walking down the street.
AHHA: A while ago there were some ads with you and your brothers modeling clothing.
Rohan: This one guy was doing a shoe - a Bob Marley shoe. I thought it was us [Marley family], but it was just a license. I was young at the time. That was back in the day - years, years, ago. Yup, it was me. But I wouldn’t do it again, because we didn’t have any affiliation. It was just a license. Anything you see me in now, we own. [laughs] I’m just joking.
AHHA: Will Lauryn [Hill] or your kids be modeling Tuff Gong clothing?
Rohan: Well I’m not sure about Ms. Hill. Hopefully one day she’ll have her own clothing line, and she’ll model her own clothing. But once I have children’s garments, of course yes [my children will model]. Or if I find something that she likes. She’s a unique woman, so it has to be something special that she thinks suits her, of course she will indulge. I can’t speak on that because I don’t control her ways. [laughs]
AHHA: Ms. Hill always had an amazing fashion sense. Has she offered any input into the clothing?
Rohan: She’s one of my inspirations. She teaches me about putting things together. She’s responsible for some of the ideas. She’s a very, very smart woman and has a lot to offer. I always take her advice. Always do. She is very beautiful. I have not enough words to describe her.
AHHA: There are definitely not enough words to describe Lauryn Hill.
Rohan: I call her Ms. Hill if you don’t mind [laughs]. I don’t call her that, but I like to call her that when I’m not speaking to her [laughs]. I like to keep it on that level that she likes. Missy Elliot wants to be called Missy Elliot. That’s just she goes by now. Ms. Hill.
AHHA: Ms. Hill it is.
Rohan: And that’s how it is. [laughs] I also played football in Miami - we can change the subject now. [laughs] All of my friends are the best in the league, top notch NFL. They’ll be wearing Tuff Gong as well hopefully. My father’s music is the spirit and the clothing is the flesh. So what you never used to see, you’re gonna see it now.

On Oct 13, 2007 at 4:30 pm | Reply | QuoteWell, I’d like to say I really hope that Lauren can get it together. I did read an interview where she tried to explain her dress/make-up. She said her face had become discolored and she wanted to go out and perform with no make-up and her reps made a huge deal about it. It left her feeling like less than or like her talent didn’t matter if she didn’t “look the part”. Shortly after that she started dressing like a clown. I think she is trying to make a statement that we should be able to enjoy her music without her looking perfect, or that she isn’t going to go get a full lace front and implants to make people like her. I think Ms. Badu might be trying to make the same statement….Just my opinion. I agree the last album was incomplete and not very good, I hope she can get her head around whatever is going on with her.

To even suggest that Lauryn will be looking for child support just show the eternal sexism we women are capable of. We’re like 20 years behind. Lauryn Hill is a multi-millionaire. I read somewhere before that she earned over $25 million in the first year her album came out. She’s loaded.
She’s also a private & complex artist. She marches to a different drum. If Lauryn is really pregnant then I congratulate her. Children are beautiful and I’m sure she is continuosly accomplishing what she wants out of life.

On Oct 13, 2007 at 5:05 pm | Reply | QuoteIt always astounds me how much we as black people find pleasure in the idea that another black person is “falling off”. That is why we as a community have not risen any higher than we are. We are the only minority who creates discord amoung ourselves instead of coming together and supporting one another. My mother always said black people have a crawfish mentality, when we see someone climbing out we try to pull the back down. We need to learn how to have eachothers back instead of relishing in eachothers mistakes or misfortunes. And what is this ish with all the judgement and hypocrisy? The main people saying having children out of wedlock or with multiple fathers have had multiple partners. If you had a child with every man that you’ve slept with you would be in the same boat so don’t judge. People make mistakes and some learn from them and move on. It is not fair for people to constantly throw your mistakes up in your face after you have changed. “Judge not lest ye be judged by the same measure”! Most of the people making comments on Lauryn couldn’t even pay to stay in her house for one month! Oh yeah! People don’t intentionally put themselves out there to be made to look stupid. There are actually stupid people out there preying on certain individuals to take a moment and turn it into something it isn’t. Black people we come from KINGS AND QUEENS,

The record company had advanced her MEGA $$$$$$$’s hoping she would have a second “hit” album that would sell like Mis Understanding. It did not happen. Her last tour was a hustle as she clearly has lost her voice …and most of her fans and it was not supported by her record label.
During a California show in late June 2007 she stated
“I can’t fit into a stereotype that makes me comfortable for you,” she added. “If that makes me feel uncomfortable to you, I need to find some new company.”

Even Jesus’ life, for the Bible thumpers in here, had ups and downs. Every life is a journey and hers is certainly a spiritual journey filled with good and bad moments.
I personally liked UNPLUGGED and although she will not be appreciated in her time, that UNPLUGGED will be DISSECTED in future classrooms as she is one of a few women who have TAKEN the opportunity to put her words together and distribute it to the masses.
Thanks Lem Judah. Much respect.

Actually, we did have Kings and Queens, but sis the reality is that not all of us came from Kings and Queens. If that were the case, then that was why we were destroyed because there were too many leaders and not enough followers.
Secondly, it’s more than just us all taking care of one another. We as black and brown people need to realize that we are not obligated to one another for our success or destruction. When Lauren was blowing up, her money does not benefit me. And her failures do not make me either. I am responsible for my life and sorry but I am not limiting myself because I don’t follow a group.
Even white people have democrats and republicans. And they don’t claim rednecks and punish their cannibals and serial killers. We need to learn how to separate ourselves from those who cause the worst destruction to mankind and our own.

I am sure everyone on here loved Lauryn back in the day, and now that she has hit a rough point in her life, we’re quick to condemn and talk negatively about her? She’s human! She’s allowed to make mistakes. No one is perfect.
If anything, I just pray she gets herself together for herself, as well as for the sake of her existing and soon-to-be born child. Life is too short to spend it upset over anyone, man or woman, and hopefully she will learn that before it’s too late.
Instead of bashing and condemning Lauryn, we should have a little compassion for her. You never know when and/or if you might be in her situation - or worse - and the last thing you’d want is for someone to bash and condemn you.
P.S. What is the deal with all the hate crimes going on? (I.e. Jena Six, Columbia Professor who found a noose on her door, and the black woman in West Virginia who was raped and tortured over a weeklong period by six white captives?)

As a matter of fact she is one of the most coherent and well spoken individuals I’ve ever heard. There are people running for President in America who are not as eloquent as she is. So I think we need to stop judging her just because she wears a weird outfit for her stage appearances. It’s not like this picture was taken of her out in the mall!

I also think her record company should sue Rohan for contributory negligence. Seems like his island slammer jammer is going to be the end of her career!! Lol. I know that was inappropriate, but couldn’t help it

[Sigh] Lauryn Hill makes me so sad. She could have the whole damn world if she wanted it.
She Whitney, Mariah, Amy Winehouse, and maybe even Lindsay Lohan need to start a support group for talented women who seem intent on ruining their own lives…

I like Lauryn Hill, and LOVE her music but she is crazy as a june bug. The industry comments I’ve heard about her is that EVERYONE, excluding her, knew Rohan has a wife. That there is no one for her to divorce and/or break up with because they’re not in a committed relationship. He has a boo on the isle of Jamaica. So while he may mention Lauryn Hill, to sell some clothes, that is not his wife.
Why she keeps having kids to him? Who know. Perhaps she think that will keep him… We all know by the music that she is currently going through some things, I wish her the best in getting through them. I don’t really take kindly to her playing the fool, though. Wtf. She did the same with Wyclef Jean being his “other woman”. It’s a pattern. I hate that someone can be so prophetic in song and stupid in life. Seriously. I know she’s human but this ‘ish is getting ridiculous. She needs to get a grip and SOON. This dude probably has some mommy and daddy issues. We already know his father’s issues, and didn’t his mom send him away to live with RITA Marley because of his own anger issues? His history probably has an effect on his NOW.

Africans sold other Africans into slavery to obtain weapons and other material from the whites and Spaniards. So if Lauryn’s success or destruction has no bearing on you, then why comment on her life? No one said anything about limiting yourself to one group, but you are what and who you are. There is no changing your heritage or skin color. We all have a responsibility toward eachother, if that’s not the case, then give back all the freedom you have aquired off the backs slaves who gave their life for you to be free and the civil rights activists who went through so much so that future African Americans could ride in whatever seat on the bus they want and drink out of the same water fountain as white people. These people didn’t know you, but they paid the ultimate price for you. I see Asians and Hispanics coming together all the time; when one makes it they try to help out their community. What do we do? When most of us see some type of success, we distanced ourselves from the black community all together and have the audacity to turn our noses up at our brothers and sisters. And on the other end, when we see one of us make it, we do our best to belittle and criticize them because they have achieved something we haven’t. And as a foot note; since the oldest remains of homo sapiens was found in Africa… WE ALL COME FROM KINGS AND QUEENS BABY!!! I am so glad all the African Americans of the past didn’t have the same feelings you have toward your people or we would all still be slaves!
