Was this ever supported by a genuine source, the reggae reggae sauce site mentions it nowhere and i am unable to find another genuine source anywhere on the web. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.41.226 (talk) 16:39, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate!!

I guess this needs to bee added since he's now more famous and has some money. I agree with the part on social housing, but the rest needs to be removed and placed else where. A charge as a 16 year old, as part of the begging of a article.

I hope all of you do the same with the other business types bilking money off prople...cooking the books/ accounting scams etc.

Its here if you want to place it else where in the article.

"Controversially, despite his wealth Roots continues to live in council accommodation he was originally moved to after serving a prison sentence for drug possession [6]. Roots's first prison sentence for drug possession was when he was aged 15, but in 1986 he was back in trouble with the police after he and two other men were caught with £250,000 worth of heroin [7]."Starbwoy (talk) 17:26, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are facts about him, and the second offence was not when he was 16. It is fine to move it to another part of the page, but that may actually increase it's prominence.Rondoggy (talk) 12:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why highlight his past (petty) criminal convictions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:63FC:6100:574:31:B8E2:663A (talk) 08:53, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cameo appearance

Just wondering how someone can have a "cameo appearance" before they are a notable/famous person? Surely in 2001, he would have been more like an extra PrettyxVacant (talk) 17:38, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is a really good point. Only in hindsite is it a 'cameo'Beefcake6412 (talk) 17:43, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arrests and convictions

Are these notable/ relevant? The racial origin(s) of the person in queston is(are) quite irrelevant, I think. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
