During a just-released VladTV interview with Afrika Bambaataa that was filmed in 2015, the Hip Hop founding father is asked about Lord Jamar’s stance that homosexuality has no place in Hip Hop.
“Well, you got all type of people out there with all type of things, whether they be gay, straight or whatever’s out there,” Afrika Bambaataa says. “They do their different style or whatever they doing on the planet. So you don’t know what styles of Hip Hop or what people are doing. Whatever they do behind their closed doors, that’s to each and all of them. That’s just saying that ain’t got nothing to do with Christianity, Islam or Judaism ain’t got nothing to do with whatever politicians or whatever’s happening out there. You cannot say who’s what and who’s what.”
Last month, former New York State Democratic Committee Member and author Ronald Savage conducted an interview that discussed claims in his latest book, Impulse, Urges and Fantasies, that Afrika Bambaataa molested him several times as a teenager.
Tuesday (April 12), the Hip Hop icon issued a statement about the regarding the molestation allegations leveled against him.
“I, Afrika Bambaataa, want to take this opportunity at the advice of my legal counsel to personally deny any and all allegations of any type of sexual molestation of anyone,” the statement said in part. “These allegations are baseless and are a cowardly attempt to tarnish my reputation and legacy in hip-hop at this time. This negligent attack on my character will not stop me from continuing my battle and standing up against the violence in our communities, the violence in the nation and the violence worldwide.”
During the 2015 VladTV interview, Afrika Bambaataa was asked whether or not a gay rapper could be accepted by the rap community.
“I couldn’t even say,” Afrika Bambaataa says. “You’d have to look online to all that to see who’s the gay rapper, who said that they’re a gay rapper out there rapping whatever they’re rapping to.”

No you’re not. If the spam filter wasn’t in play, you’d be on here throwing up in your mouth.
Yo, try and be nice to people sometime. Or if you’re going to act tough – head on down to DX HQ and say in in their face. Freedom of speech also means freedom to think before you speak.
Nice to see a spam filter filter out peoples opinions on a website that posts about news and represents journalism which is a freedom of speech thing then censor out people cause they hurt your feelings wah wah only thing bein thrown up in anyones mouth here is your bosses jizz in yours right down your throat since you seem like someone who would definetly swallow

May God continue to show the gays all around the world light so that darkness wil never be their portion in Jesus name… Amen. Once again,animals are wiser than gays since they can differentiate from male and female partners.
I had a male chihuahua as a kid that fucked everything that walked, including other male dogs. Jesus made that chihuahua, didn’t he?
