CLEVELAND, Ohio -- One of the sons of late reggae star Bob Marley was detained this morning after having a heated argument with WMMS FM/100.7 DJ Rover.
Ky-Mani Marley is in Cleveland promoting his book about his famous father.
During the interview, Rover, 30, made a sexual comment about Marley's mother, who was a pingpong champion.
Marley was angered by the comment. He left the studio and apparently turned the radio on in his car. Rover was still talking about him.
Marley returned to the station and barged into the studio. A heated, profane argument ensued, with Marley threatening to assault Rover. Much of the profanity was kept off the air using the station's delay system.
Police were called and detained Marley for about 45 minutes. Rover, whose real name is Shane French, declined to press charges and Marley was released.
