No. Rastafaris worship Emperor Selassie. Rastafaris believe Selassie was the Messiah prophesied in The Bible and will bring the golden age of peace. He is given the titles of Jesus: King of Kings, Lion of the Tribe of Judah and so forth.
Selassie accepted this and also allowed himself to be called "Jah" which is short for the name of God (YHWH). His coronation anniversary and other memorable dates are regarded as holy days.
Most believe that he was God or Jesus incarnate, while there are some who simply believe that he was only a king who was a great and monumental leader.
In the end, no. Rastafarian beliefs isn't a form of Christianity. Same to say that Islam isn't a form of Christianity.
