    About two years ago while my wife was in the final months of her life she loved this show..I would occasionally watch it with her and we both enjoyed it very much..There was a chemistry in this cast of people that worked prrfect ,one i dont think can be replicated or duplicated.A continues learning from elder to youth about living without fancy and finding joy and beauty in nature while discovering the joy of cusine from nature..Thank all of you for providing my wife with a home away from home in her final days.

    Hi Matthew, as a Jamaican I am sorry this chapter has ended so sadly and abruptly, but Jamaica as you know has many stories from many, many different people. I do wish the best for Moko and his family, and I hope he will understand and realize what used to be was a blessing. Matthew, continued success as you travel and see the potential in Jamaica, or wherever you go, cheers 🍻

      Mathew, your integrity is unquestionable as demonstrated in your humble position and collaboration, not only on building Ras Kitchen, but in producing it. Never doubt that you have a future in doing what you do. It has been an enjoyable journey seeing you and that channel evolve. There is little doubt that you are bigger than what you have created and your talents in these types of productions is obviously positive and it was easy to see through your works where the talent was. Your camera work is excellent as is your editing and music work. The best evidence is in the increased quality you brought to each continuing episode. I do have to be honest and admit that your food work outside of Ras was your best and I am so looking forward to your new expansion of your talents. You sir are the food traveling producer that makes so many want to experience your experiences. God bless.

      There is 3 sides to a story. Mathew should have had a discourse on camera with Mocko for the audience. Instead he made a 3 min video painting his narrative to make himself look good. And he continues to profit off the content Mokko made on this channel, & the foundation of what Mokko made this channel.

I live in Florida and happen to know a couple of Jamaicans from that area and they don’t talk very highly of Mokko. I take that with a salt of grain because I don’t know Mokko so I can’t judge. Matt has a future ahead of him either way. They are both big boys love life goes on.

      Matt had the advantage, and he took advantage.
      This is what happens when western people think they are “helping” foreigners on other lands
      Mathew is a lazy, useless, idealistic westerner that saw an opportunity for himself. There was enough plausible deniability on Mathew’s side, but he should have double checked everything was done ethically.
      You can blame the daughter but that’s how Mathew gets away with it. Just because he press the send button on the money doesn’t mean he can just say it’s not up to him now.

    Wow, sad situation. I have followed you and Ras Moko for years and lived vicariously through you and your epic adventures. As a Bahamian with Jamaican roots, I'm a real foodie and was very proud of the huge progress of Ras Moko and there's no doubt that you were the catalyst that propelled him. Jealousy is a serious thing and heard the horror stories of what Bob Marley and other artists have gone through. There are also the horrific stories of Jamaicans who returned home tried to reestablish their lives and build businesses while helping the community and were murdered in còld blood. Things must change.

The first thought I had after realizing this is real is thinking about Mokko's mental health and wondering if he developing early dementia for him to start tripping like this. This is so unfortunate. You did a phenomenal job building this channel. The content was beyond awesome, and the relationship to the family and Moko was so powerful. You vlog in a respectful way.

      For sure! I noticed Moco had some resentment towards people in town who recognized him. Not like the "I dont want to be famous I just want my privacy" vibe, but like he felt that the people recognizing him meant they were after what he had. Like anyone who was a fan of his secretly just wanted his money. Felt bad for him when I saw that and Id imagine there was a lot of gaslighting from people in the community.

    Matt I've been one of the day one watchers, and the truth is we've all seen some of the lukewarm and tense situations you've pushed through to make some of those videos. Mokko has had people in his ears for a long time. I remember the first videos when Mokko used to use briefs to wrap his hair in the old broken down kitchen, and if you weren't doing anything for him, he wouldn't be where he is now. The reality is, you've improved all their lives drastically, and brought us great content over the years. You're a good person. Don't allow the negativity to affect the heart you have. Keep pushing man, there are greater things in store. Respect.

      @@babsylindo4069 This has nothing to do with black or white. We need to split judgement fairly and stop making everything about race. Since you want to make it about black people sticking together, let me ask you this. Who was helping Mokko before Matthew decided to come along and change not only his life but the life of his entire family? Since to you everything is black and white, when he was living in squalor, who stepped up to help him? Not everything in life is about race because people who think so one-sided, will encourage the breakdown of anything positive and in the end will not lift a finger afterwards to help the situation of the person who is foolish enough to listen to their close-minded advice. For the people who have good judgment, it's obvious Matthew wanted to form genuine relationships with them, and he wanted to keep these relationships for life. They were family to him. A good person is a good person no matter what skin colour they have.

    This is incredibly sad!! The Jamaican society has this disease known locally as "bad minded" better known as jealousy. It's a shame that ignorance has come between a program that I've watched you both built from scratch, and to watch it all come to an end like this, is truly a disappointment. But I won't say I am surprised by this though, because as the program grew, it was always something that I feared would ultimately happened due to bad minded people and jealousy. I hope their happy now, now that they have taken away food from Moko's mouth. Matthew, all the best to you and Moko!!

Ras kitchen is very peaceful to listen to when you need to unwind and always has such beautiful vibes and beautiful videography even the edits and the reggae songs and dubs are amazing. Your channel in general has taught so many people about true Jamaican culture and even important herbs and holistic remedies. It's wild because in a way I feel like I know you, mokko even watching ratty grow up. This is something special and I believe the enemy is messing with mokko to try and mess it up, I hope you guy's can work something out and reconcile with each other.

      We watch because we like the people & the way they live.
      The issue here is a lack of clarity regarding financial compensation. In the beginning of their 10 year relationship, this was only a vision.
      Now it has grown into something big with big money involved… they need to now draw up proper terms & conditions with greater transparency regarding earnings & costs.
      I believe Matthew when he says great things were on the horizon, because he was always the visionary. It would be a shame to lose that. A real shame 😔

I enjoyed learning more about the island, the food, cooking, and how others lived. The dynamic between you and Mokko flowed well. It's unfortunate , it obvious people got into his ears and he threw his 10 yrs investment out the window....just like that. BLESS UP Mathew, you are a genius person and i wish you all the best and remain a fan... Great things are ahead...I hope Ratty will be ok, he seemed broked and sad.

    It’s so sad to hear this, and even after Ras Mokkos apology things will never be the same as that bridge was burnt. It’s typical for money to break relationships like these apart and especially if there was a middle man dealing with the finances. Just few months ago I remember watching an episode of Ras buying a car… Matthew take this as a lesson learned and you will continue to be blessed moving forward.

    I am so sorry this happened. I have been watching you all for awhile. The same thing happened to me years ago. I was helping someone years ago financially, it was a family member. Whenever he called and said that he needed help I was always there. His own Father didn’t help him. I did this out of the goodness of my heart. He didn’t have to pay me back because he was in School. I recently found out that he was telling people things that wasn’t true. None of his family helped him but me. He went behind my back and talked about me to the people who didn’t help him. That really hurt me at the time, but I am fine now. So I would advise you to stay away from people who say things that isn’t true about you. I don’t want to have a relationship with someone who tell lies after I have helped them. I have forgiven him but no longer want to be around him. I was shocked and hurt when he did that to me. I really thought that he loved me because I am his grandmother, but all he was after was my money. I can see the sadness in your eyes when you were talking about what happened. I can relate because I was so hurt by what my family member did to me. God will bless you more abundantly. Peace and much love. ❤️

You had been so kind to have Ras benefiting from your filming in Jamaica at his place and yet he has the audacity to talk you down that's not right I'm glad you cut him off I would too people like that you can't trust no more. You have visited Jamaica enough times that you can now do your own thing Ras is not hurting no one but himself. My ex jamaican husband did that to me too they go around telling lies when things don't go their way to destroy you. Check to see if you can still use the film and get paid for it your self and if so go for it otherwise delete it and start again....Jamaica no problem.
