Afrika Bambaataa is now under more fire as more men are now coming out and accusing him of sexual abuse. Vice recently sat down with two more men along with Ronald “Bee-Stinger” Savage, who initially made the accusations, and spoke of the allegations. Mind you, these are two new men coming forward.

Savage spoke on meeting Bambaataa for the first time. He said,

“He was like a god. It was like, ‘This is the guy I had always heard about.’ Everybody knew who Afrika Bambaataa was back then. He was a father figure to me.”

Savage says all of that changed once he was molested by Bambaataa for the first time in 1980. He says it happened about four or five more times after. The other twi victims, Hassan Campbell, and a man who is identified as Troy, say they met Bambaataa through neighborhood parties. They re-lived their accounts through the Bronx River Houses. They said that such incidents were covered up by Zulu Nation.

A longtime DJ associate of Bambaataa’s says,

“Bam took the kids who were struggling—the kids who didn’t have good parents and had nothing. It’s all about the money. These guys [in Zulu Nation] are on the payroll—doing security, carrying equipment. A lot of them have felony records. They can’t get other jobs. They needed that paycheck. So they would keep quiet.”

Bambaataa is denying the accusations saying they are all out to tarnish his reputation.
