Talk show host Peter Wickham says all Rastafarians were not the target of his comments on their stance on the COVID-19 vaccine.
His row with the Rastas began on
Starcom Network’s Down To Brass Tacks call-in programme last week when he stated: “If the Rastafarians believe they are better off not taking it, then they stay up in the hills and smoke their herb and stay away from society.”
Subsequently, in a video which went viral, two members of the Rastafarian community, Calvin Bongo Lights Chase and Lumumba Batson, issued a stinging rebuke, including some comments about Wickham’s sexuality.

A WAR OF WORDS has erupted between talk show moderator Peter Wickham and members of the Rastafari Progressive Movements over the latter’s opposition to taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
The row began last Thursday during Wickham’s hosting of
Starcom Network’s Down To Brass Tacks radio call-in programme when he said: “If the Rastafarians believe they are better off not taking it, then they stay up in the hills and smoke their herb and stay away from society.”
Subsequently, a video has gone viral featuring two members of the movement, Lumumba Batson and Calvin
Bongo Lights Chase, speaking about the issue. In it, they make several remarks about Wickham’s sexuality.
