Another man has now come forward to make claims of sexual encounters with Hop-Hop icon Afrika Bambaataa. Recently, Ronald Savage the first gentleman and former member of the NY State Democratic Committee came forward in a self published book and claimed that Afrika Bambaataa had sex with him multiple times when he was a preteenager in the Bronx, NY in the late seventies. Troi Torain aka STAR (who broke this story) has just released a statement…
Ronald Savage contacted me (as many do) for a fair and objective platform. After a week of talking with Ronald about his alleged claims of sexual abuse by Afrika Bambattaa, I also reached out the proper channels at the Universal Zulu Nation.
Mr. Savage published his accusations in a book and combined with his strong pedigree, I felt obligated as a journalist to present his story. The question now isn’t whether or not Zulu Nation has done great things as a whole, but instead, has their beacon of light committed heinous acts, and consequently be in need of psychiatric help?
