Afrika Bambaataa + The Zulu Nation Back On Trial For Sex Trafficking

Music icon Afrika Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation are making headlines for the wrong reasons again. New reports claim a Child Victims Act (CVA) lawsuit has been filed against the hip-hop mogul years after initial accusations went viral. Afrika Bambataa + Zulu Nation Sued According to reports, Bambaataa was recently served the lawsuit against himself and the Zulu Nation. The claim accuses them of sexually abusing and repeatedly sex trafficking a 12-year-old boy to adults males for profit over the course of four years. We are the first to report on the suit that was filed in Bronx Supreme Court says one location that the child sexual abuse and child prostitution took place was in Bambaataa’s Bronx River apartment, which doubled as the Zulu Nation Headquarters at 1609 East 174th Street. Bambaataa shared this apartment with Billy “Amid” Henderson, not yet named in the suit. John Doe’s lawyer filed the lawsuit on August 4, 2021, ten days before the August 14th deadline of the Child Victims Act (CVA). (Metropolis) KRS-One Tells Afrika Bambaataa Critics To Quit Hip-Hop In July 2016, New York rap veteran KRS-One shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding hip-hop icon Afrika Bambaataa and why critics should seriously reconsider their interest in the genre. KRS explained why Bambaataa's contributions to hip-hop made him iconic despite being recently accused of past child molestation incidents. “When you’re talking about Afrika Bambaataa, first of all, you’re talking about the person who invented hip-hop. Not participated in it. There was no hip-hop before Afrika Bambaataa. Let’s start there. So anyone who has a problem with Afrika Bambaataa should quit hip-hop.” Afrika Bambaataa Denies The Accusations In mid-May 2016, Bambaataa denied the graphic sexual accusations. He came forward to question the people accusing him of sexual abuse. "I never abused nobody. It just sounds crazy to people to say that, hear 'you abused me.' You know my thing is you know all my people back then, you know the hundreds of people that been around me. If something like that happened, why you never went to none of them?" (Fox 5) A week prior, Zulu Nation announced its removal and distance from Afrika. Bambaataa’s lawyer, Charles Tucker, blasted the decision as a public relations move. Certain members pressured Bambaataa to take some type of public action because they fear funding for Zulu Nation programs will dry up. Zulu Nation said its changes include "providing support for victims of abuse, rape and molestation and working more closely on other social issues existing in communities such as drug addiction, alcoholism and mental health," the group said. (New York Daily News) Lord Sharif Speaks On Afrika Bambaataa The same year, former bodyguard Lord Sharif put Bambaataa's past alleged habits on blast. "He's a f*cking pedophile and this is coming from his former bodyguard," Lord Shariyf. "Absolutely. This is a well-known fact in the Zulu Nation. In the inner circle. Me being his former bodyguard - there were many instances where I saw young boys in and out of his room - I hope my homebody is listening because he was one of those young boys who Bambaataa had come to his house."

Polo G Arrested In Los Angeles On Felony Charge

Chicago rapper Polo G is making headlines for the wrong reasons. New reports claim the hip-hop artist has landed in handcuffs in Los Angeles on a serious felony charge. Polo G Arrested In Los Angeles According to reports, guns are the cause of Polo's latest run-in with law enforcement. On Monday, cops arrested G after discovering him carrying a concealed firearm. We're told Polo G was a passenger in a car that was pulled over, though it's not clear exactly why. In any event ... cops say after searching the car they found the firearm.

In light of all of this, Polo upped the ante and provided her around the clock security. "I recently had an attempted break in at my home. At least three men attempted to break in (you’ll hear the assailant on camera say 'y’all ready?!' ) In real time on my camera I witnessed as an intruder kicked in my basement door. While multiple intruders flocked to other entry points of my home. I began to open fire upon them. My family is safe, by God’s grace. In this situation you have only two choices; Fight or flight.

Kanye West Hilariously Fires 'Donda' Engineer After Sleeping In

Music mogul Kanye West has no time for games. After an iCloud hack, new texts have emerged of a Donda engineer getting the boot after being unable to pull up for a music grind due to sleeping in late. Kanye West Hilariously Fires 'Donda' Engineer Kanye reportedly texted the engineer in the morning to get working, but he never received a response. Two hours later he sent another text about firing the person on the receiving end, to which they responded about not waking up in time. Mr. West then hilariously told them to "stop texting" and "go find God," which he added would be the one condition in which they could come back. "Good morning Let’s work." “You’re fired Go home.” “I’m really sorry. I have no excuse. I set an alarm for 7:30am. And for whatever reason my phone wasn’t alerting me. I woke up at 11:08 to missed calls and got dressed as fast as I could. Lou was already on his way to get boogz and they just got here. I didn’t call back right away cause I was in panic trying to find a ride. I know this is unacceptable. I’m sorry.” “Stop texting Go find God Come back after you found God” https://twitter.com/DebatingHipH0p/status/1435295517827743744?s=20 Atlanta trap icon T.I. weighed in on the conversation. He left a comment on Instagram about Ye's last text, clearly getting a laugh out of it. "The "Go find God" is a keeper tho😂😂😂" Jadakiss' Son Played Role In The LOX + Ye Collabo Most people are so grateful for the opportunity that they wouldn't let themselves be late to working with Kanye. New York rapper Jadakiss is surely thankful, and actually might have his son to thank for helping the stars align with The LOX and Yeezy appearing on the newly released Donda album. The hip-hop veteran has provided context into how the unexpected collaboration went down. In a new interview, Kiss dished on just how the must-hear "Jesus Lord Pt. 2" anthem went down. He even talked about Ye's August 6 Donda listening event. “Someone from Ye’s camp actually reached out to my older son - then Ye called us the next day after Verzuz, he hit me the next morning. We flew straight there and went straight to the studio and knocked the song out. Then went and rested and came back the next day and went to the event and flew back. ... It was a different experience for us, but it was super dope.” (HHDX) While he only has a few posts on his Instagram page, Jada's son Really Jaewon keeps it filled with lifestyle flexes and new music drops. Kanye West's 'Donda' Goes No. 1 Jada can now brag about LOX appearing on a chart-topping album. Despite dropping on a Sunday, the project still crushed everything around it. The debut elevated Ye's status as one of only seven artists with at least 10 chart-topping albums in the chart's 65-year history. Kanye West lands his 10th No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Donda debuts atop the list with the year’s biggest week for any album: 309,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 2, according to MRC Data. It surpasses the year’s previous best week, when Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour started with 295,000 units (on the chart dated June 5). (Billboard) Based on official estimates, Kanye's long-awaited studio effort was expected to do the opposite of flop. The project was estimated to push out at least 327,000 copies in just its opening week. ".@kanyewest's 'DONDA' to debut at #1 on the US albums chart with 327K sold first week. It earns the biggest debut of the year (via @HITSDD)" Kanye West's 'Come To Life' Video Is Flames Earlier the same week, the hip-hop star came through with the visual treatment to his "Come To Life" anthem off his newly released Donda album. Less than a week since dropping Donda to the masses, Ye has blessed fans with a video from the project. Instead of opting for a closed set video, Ye actually used his third album listening event footage as the basis. From Kanye actually setting himself on fire to reuniting with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, the video comes packed with stunning moments. Read the full article

Nicki Minaj Reveals Why She Turned Down Doja Cat Collabo

New York rapper Nicki Minaj does everything with a purpose. The hip-hop star has revealed the reason why she declined to hop on Doja Cat's “Get Into It (Yuh)” track. Nicki Minaj Reveals Why She Turned Down Doja Cat Collabo Doja Cat reportedly wanted Nicki to spit a fire verse on the song, but Nicki respectfully declined. She says she didn't think she'd bring anything of value to "Get Into It," and asked for another song to be on but never received one. “The truth is, she asked me to get on that song. It’s not that I’m too busy at all. It’s just, there were middle people involved in that situation so I had told her, if it was like how me and BIA were direct and we dealt with each other directly, it would be different. But I didn’t love that song because I didn’t think I could bring anything to it. So I asked them to send me something else. I think that was the second song they sent me but I asked them to send me something else and they didn’t send me anything else.” https://twitter.com/KittenMinaj/status/1434725360344748037 Nicki Minaj Proves Rihanna + A$AP Rocky Still Together Nicki might not need to work with Doja Cat, because she's got friends in all sorts of high places. In fact, she has become the plug for what's happening between billionaire Rihanna and her rap star boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Onika has come through with some stunning shots of herself and the inseparable boo'd up couple. Minaj went to her Instagram page with some must-see shots. One post includes the duo sitting alongside her baby boy and husband Kenneth Petty. "RokNRiha #QueenRih #CaribbeanGirlsRunit Love her downnnnnnn #NewYorkShit #YKTFV" Nicki also shared some footage of herself chilling alongside RiRi. "ChunRih & My baby Majesty (the barbz love u more ☺️😍😍😍😍)" Nicki Minaj Praises Rihanna A few weeks ago, Minaj geeked out over RiRi becoming a certified billionaire. Nicki gave major love to Rihanna for reaching billionaire status. The Barbie went onto her Instagram Story with nothing but praise and left a heartfelt message for RiRi. "a BILLI-ON here, a BILLI-ON there- Little Bajan bih - dat bag is a different size #IfthisDontInspireYou" Rihanna's The Richest Female Musician On The Planet Despite having friends like Nicki all over the industry, the R&B singer knows it's way deeper than rap, country, pop and soul music. The Savage x Fenty queen has reportedly earned the right to call herself a billionaire. According to reports, RiRi didn't just hit a billion. She has an additional $700 to her net worth based on the financial success she's reaped since launching Fenty Beauty in 2017. Rihanna is now worth $1.7 billion, Forbes estimates—making her the wealthiest female musician in the world and second only to Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer. But it’s not her music that’s made her so wealthy. The bulk of her fortune (an estimated $1.4 billion) comes from the value of Fenty Beauty, of which Forbes can now confirm she owns 50%. Much of the rest lies in her stakein her lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, worth an estimated $270 million, and her earnings from her career as a chart-topping musician and actress. (Forbes) The massive accomplishment arrived just as RiRi announced her culture-influenced Caramel Curves Savage X launch. "Behind every Savage, there’s a story… and who more savage than my @caramelcurvesmc !!! We don’t just sell panties over here @savagexfenty, we represent the culture! 💪🏿❤️" Read the full article

In a must-see clip, Black is heard interacting with a woman. While hit with a series of questions, the most intriguing comes from him revealing what he wanted to be as a kid. "I wanted to be an architect. That's what I wanted to be. I wanted to be an architect," Black said before sharing his thoughts on coronavirus. "That sh*t's crazy because you can't tell who has corona. I don't know everything. I don't know what to tell you - this sh*t's crazy - I hope this isn't how the world's going to end."

Lil Uzi Vert Reveals What Happened To His Forehead Diamond

Philadelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert is okay. The hip-hop star has revealed that he's doing alright despite having his $24 million pink diamond implant ripped out of his head. Lil Uzi Vert Reveals What Happened To His Diamond Uzi says while crowd surfing at Rolling Loud, fans ripped the diamond from his forehead.

The veteran hip-hop star recently revealed that a project was in the works. While at an event put on by JAY-Z for the 18th anniversary of the 40/40 club, Push revealed an album was coming. He didn't give a specific timetable for the project, but it will be produced by none other than legendary rappers Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. “New album coming soon, check for Donda." Pusha T Explains Kanye West's 'Donda' Meaning The G.O.O.D Music president is big hyped about fans finally getting the chance to hear the new Donda album, and even hyped to get another project of his done by 'Ye. Note that Kanye produced Pusha's 2018 album DAYTONA. The hip-hop veteran has stepped up to dish on Kanye West delivering the must-hear LP to the masses and dug into its meaning. King Push hit up his Instagram page and didn't hold back on reflecting on the LP's importance. He also acknowledged how much it meant to help get Ye's LP out to the masses. "This is about power, money, influence and taste…nothing more, nothing less. Watching you “joystick the culture” makes us all proud. Continue to do things your way, congrats, and I’m honored to have been a part of the process. #DONDA" Kanye West's Donda Drops + It's Fire After initial plans to put the LP out in late July, Kanye came through for his day ones over a month later than fans expected. The project is jam-packed with hits and endless collaborations including songs alongside JAY-Z, Lil Yachty, Playboi Carti, The LOX, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Lil Durk, Baby Keem, Don Toliver and Lil Baby. Producers include Boi-1da, Mike Dean, E.Vax of Ratatat, 88 Keys, Swizz Beatz, Wheezy and Gesaffelstein Instead of going with a message-driven cinematic-looking cover, Kanye opted for having completely solid black artwork for the project. Heading into the weekend, reports claimed the project was turned into Def Jam and could reach the masses before Monday. Despite multiple setbacks, the G.O.O.D Music boss' LP was destined to arrive any moment. We’re told that Kanye West has, in fact, delivered the masters for the long-overdue Donda(G.O.O.D./Def Jam).

Sources claim that Donda is currently being delivered to DSPs and streaming partners for release either later today or tomorrow morning. Ye delivered the album once before but immediately took it back. (HITS Daily Double) Read the full article
