“I’m truly blessed to continue the legacy that my family built,” Marley said in accepting the award. “I’m filled with gratitude and honor to be acknowledged for my work. I want to express my sincere thanks to the committee members and the beautiful people of our Caribbean. Your support and inspiration drive my passion and motivate me to do things I was once told ‘you can’t do that.’”
Marley dedicated the award to her mother, Rita Marley, who she described as her “shero.” “[She is] a woman of extraordinary strength, compassion, wisdom and love. It is her unwavering dedication and selflessness that have led to this moment. I am both proud and humbled to have her as my mother. As I pay tribute to the Marley legacy tonight, I celebrate the woman who has laid the foundation. One love.”
Reggae legend Bob Marley was Cedella Marley’s father. Skip Marley is her son. Cedella Marley won three Grammy Awards as a member of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
Shaggy paid tribute to Griffiths, who is celebrating 60 years in music. Griffiths is a former member of the I-Threes, which supported Bob Marley with backing vocals. She was a Grammy nominee three years ago for best reggae album for One World. Closing out the show, Tosh Alexander, Aiesha, Alaine and Nadine Sutherland performed in tribute to Griffiths.
The night’s most nominated artist, Dexta Daps, won performer of the year (dancehall). The Jamaican dancehall and reggae performer also performed a medley of songs, including “Shabba Madda Pot” and “Call Me If.”
Other winners in competitive categories included Buju Banton, Romeo Santos, Shaggy & Kes and Burna Boy & Byron Messia.
Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, who has produced recordings by such varied artists as Sean Paul, Drake, John Legend, Vybz Kartel, John Legend, Shenseea and Jada Kingdom, received the producer award honor.
