Speaking of how Bob Marley’s music has played an instrumental role in her life, Campbell explained to DJ D-Nice how she played Marley while welcoming her newborn daughter. She shared in the interview, “In one of my most special moments, you know, I just became a mum, I had Bob Marley playing…I mean, that’s my roots! You know, that’s my roots.”
DJ D-Nice also shared a special connection he has to the legendary musician, specifically during his Club Quarantine series. He shared with Campbell, “I did a lot of work with the Marley family. You know, we’ve had a lot of things happen on Club Quarantine! One day I started playing Bob Marley, and I was only playing Bob Marley, and all of the sudden Ziggy was in there, and Rohan was in there, and Damian Marley was in there…It was just mind blowing to me, that people just find ways to come and hear the music.”
While No Filter With Naomi seems to be successful for the icon, she hinted at the end of this episode that her latest episode may be her last. She told the viewers, “This could be my last show, and taking a little break…or this may not be.”
