Reggae Reggae lies! Sauce millionaire Levi Roots admits 'I lied on Dragons' Den - it wasn't my grandmother's recipe'

Why does this man THINK he's owed over 600k?

Why do you think.

Nothing disrupted their partnership until Levi, the more ambitious of the pair, was persuaded to go on Dragons’ Den by a BBC researcher.

He secured £50,000 backing and just 24 hours after the show was broadcast Sainsbury’s offered to stock the sauce. It began outselling Heinz tomato ketchup and Levi has never looked back.

But while he was enjoying the first fruits of success, he made a surprise admission, Timmii claims.

‘Levi told me it wasn’t his recipe,’ she said. ‘A few days before the 2007 carnival, Levi said Tony wasn’t doing it that year. I was shocked as they have always been such a double act, and asked him why.

‘He said, “You have to understand that this sauce thing isn’t as great as some people think. It’s just bringing up so much jealousy and hatred.” I asked more, and that’s when he said, “It’s Tony’s recipe.”

‘He said he had asked Tony go on Dragons’ Den with him but he didn’t want to do it. He thought it was a waste of time.

I said, “But you said it’s your grandmother’s sauce”, and he replied, “Timmii, in this business, it’s what the people want that matters. I was going to sell it as a 100-year-old recipe but that’s too far-fetched. You have to be believable and impressive.”’

Confession: Levi's on-off girlfriend Timmii Twumasi claims he told her that it wasn't his recipe

Levi gave Tony a share of the profits from the carnival that year, and, according to Timmii, his generosity didn’t end there.

‘I have been with Levi on several occasions when he’s taken money to Tony’s restaurant. I never asked how much. Once he asked me to drop some cash off to Tony.’

Last week, asked if Levi looked after him financially, Tony replied simply, ‘Yeah, yeah’, adding: ‘Levi’s just doing his thing.'

Fuck this nigga, he ain't owed shit.

Reading from the sauce label, Ian Glen QC, acting for the claimants, said: 'On the bottle of sauce...

That must have been a bizarre case.

Yawn u must lead a very shitty life

[Benicio del Toney]

Levi is dumb for keeping the same recipe though.

If he is a chef he shoulda started from scratch and make his own sauce, he is selling it as reggae reggae sauce, you think white people will notice any difference between a real sauce and a shit sauce, they use salt and pepper most time.

Shouldn't have gave nobody an opportunity to come back and tell him anything.

[TF S4DK]

Of course they changed it somewhat. To get in Sainsburys & all them other shops you need to do taste tests and shit. I suspect his claim will probably be stronger on the name than the receipe.

[Lieutenant]

Everytime I go in Tesco I see some next addition

Ready meals

Big fizzy drinks

Fruit juice

Peanuts

Man had a Subway sandwich and a Dominoes pizza

[Kurtis]

trust, he diversified like a motherfucker

[BLACK VICTIM]

white people and the salt and pepper season>>>>

[Lieutenant]

Rah, didn't even realise he had cooking sauces. Never seen them

[Benicio del Toney]

He has a claim if the sauce used to get the investment was his though.

That's were I'm guessing Levi fucked up.

[TF S4DK]

Yeah but Dragon's Den have forseen this problem, hence there motto of investing in people rather than products.

These devils never miss a trick.

Reggae Reggae Sauce became Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce. I bet they suggested this.

If I'm not mistaken he sold them 50%, sooooo them devils would have been like I bought 50% of the whole ting, not 50% of your 33%.

If my man knew they all fucked up, he would have tried to hit the lottery and sue BBC, Dragons Den, Peter Jones, Levi Roots and anybody else who profited of HIS sauce, but instead he just going after Levi Roots.

[Benicio del Toney]

lol of course, they ain't stupid, they have no time for them kinda disputes.

Levi will have to deal with this 1 by himself.

I can even see a time in the future when he has lost his stake in the brand and Levi Roots Reggae Reggae sauce is still on the shelves.

I discovered these at uni in Kent.
