Bob Marleys half-brother has filed a countersuit against the late stars family after they launched a legal battle to stop him allegedly cashing in on the music legends name without permission.
Marleys widow Rita and her children recently filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Richard Booker, who has the same mother as Marley, claiming he has been using his connection to the late singer to promote concerts and products under his Mama Marley banner.
Booker has now filed his own suit against the company which controls the stars estate, 56 Hope Road Music, alleging he is using the One Love singers name and likeness with the consent, authorisation and by the instruction of his half-brother and their mum, Cedella, according to Media.
Booker wants to be given the go-head to continue using the Marley name and he is demanding the familys legal challenge be dismissed.
