  1. Don’t know what really went down, but I kind of suspect that Tony Bailey probably knew that Levi was trying to market “a sauce”. He probably never dreamt it would ever become this big, and also was just happy with his restaurant business and didn’t want the extra hassle/legwork. So he let Levi get on with it. That’s a lot of assumptions I know (lol) but I bet there is an element of truth in there somewhere.

  2. It seems like Levi roots has two sauce one from his grand mother and one which he has created….. so which one is the real reggae reggae sauce? liar

  3. Levi has changed his story the sauce is not created by his grandmother anymore he knows who is the real creator of the sauce and it is Tony Bailey, Levi remember the autobiography book that you wrote people are not fooled anymore you thief and a liar.
