A man who claims to be Afrika Bambaataa’s former bodyguard has come forward to speak up about allegations of child sexual abuse toward the Hip Hop legend.
Radio host Star interviewed Shamsideen Shariyf Ali Bey, who also identifies himself as an original member of Black Spade, and the former head of Shaka Zulu Security.
“Bambaataa goes around fronting, like he’s this holier than thou. He’s a fucking pedophile,” he said. “…This is a well-known fact in the Zulu Nation.”
Last month, Afrika Bambaataa — the Hip Hop pioneer, author with the Soul Sonic Force of the genre-shifting song “Planet Rock” and founder of the Zulu Nation — was accused of child molestation by former New York State Democratic Committee member Ronald Savage. Savage claimed that Bambaataa forced him to engage in oral sex when he was 15 years old. Three other men came forward after Savage, making similar allegations.
Shariyf said that he remembers young boys constantly going in and out of Bambaataa’s apartment in the Parkchester neighborhood in the Bronx. Other children would actually tour with Bambaataa overseas, he said; those who didn’t condone his assaults on children wouldn’t go on tours overseas with him.
“There’s always a boy in his house. When he leaves and gets home, there’s always a boy there. I’ve seen them camped, asking him for money,” Shariyf said. “He travels with late teens, those are the ones he takes overseas with him. When I went with him on tour in the states, I’d stay in one room, and he would have boys in the room with him.
“Since the 70s, it’s been hundreds,” Shariyf said. “…I can say I’ve walked in on stuff where I say, what the fuck is going on?”

He added that in 2007, he told the Zulu Nation to bring Bambaataa up on charges. He said that as a result, he was accused of trying to get money from Bambaataa, and he broke ties with Zulu Nation shortly thereafter.
When Star asked what could be done to get Bambaataa help for his pedophilia, Shariyf said that Bambaataa is “beyond help.”
“His help is going to come from the Creator, in a way that we won’t know until we see it,” he said. “But with mercy is justice. He has to deal wit justice before he gets mercy, because he made a lot of people suffer. He needs to be held accountable.”
Bambaataa and the Zulu Nation have denied wrongdoing, and have said his accusers want to tarnish his and Hip Hop’s reputation.
you’re corny and a troll
I’m only writing this comment to tell everybody else not to reply to this f.aggot troll, giving him the attention he so desperately craves.
Your lame, u don’t know wtf ur talking about!! White ppl need to sit the f**k down and stop riding so much D!!
BROWN AND BLACK ARE TO DEEP IN HIP HOP FOR U SUCKA TO TAKE OVER ANYTHING! POP IS MORE FOR YOUR KIND,
HIPHOP IS THE STREETS AND BROWN AND BLACK RUN THE STREETS. I DONT SEE A BUNCH OF MEXICAN ROLLING AROUND BUMPING AND WHITE DUDE, sorry…. I SEE ANY PIRUS OR CRIPS BUNCHING ANY WHITE DUDE.. AND SHADY GETS A PASS CAUSE HIS HARD ASS FUCK..
Afreaka Bambuutaa abused hiphopdx staff too.
LMAOOOOOO, it’s funny cus it’s true
pedophiles? in the media? let me illustrate you. the Zulu nation is CULT build around hip hop, it has the same type of structure any other cults have (scientology, opus dei, hare krishna, kabbalah, etc) they also share the same dirty secrets these other cults have and that is: the secret knowledge. basically it goes down to believe that god is the devil and the devil is god. and they have rituals to absorb the spiritual energy of other humans (kids have a more powerful energy) thru sexual acts. this is very well explaind by alister crowley on the sex magik books. thats why you see all this pedophile cases around the vatican and other religions that have being infiltrated and are following the same teachings of the secret knowledge. so when you see this celebritys throwing all this illuminati symbols to your face now you can understand whats behind all that
@ the Saga continues.
This is one of the best posts I have ever read on here. Afrika has been doing this forever and used his power to get away with it. Being gay is his business but molesting kids is another level. Anyone who hides this is just as messed up, if it was KRS ones kid what would he do ? Cowley was an evil man a Satanist as well as a racist who believed in eternal life thru sex with children and sacrifices. The Vatican and Catholicism is a cult and always has been, protecting Molesters and worshiping Mary. You cant speak on Catholicism because its always been the chosen White is right religion.

as much as i want this fat black ra cist to be publicly embarrassed, let’s take careful note how all of this is just coming out now. either ALL these dudes sat around with the knowledge that this aborrentness was going on and are just doing it now cause it’s safe and they can make a little money with it, or they’re making it up.
afrika bam wap ba ba loo bap a lop boom boom
Afika bam booty
Afrika Slam bottoms
Afrika Bambata bombard that booty with penis
Man these stories are getting wilder and wilder. Shit like this by so many people usually isn’t fabricated. This is exactly how the cosby ordeal started
This is so sad, and trifiling on many levels. I seriously wish this not to be true but these days I wouldn’t be surprised. Planet Rock & the Zulu Nation is so iconic in hip hop that if news like this factual it’ll leave a stain in the history books
