Afrika Bambaataa

A man claiming to be Afrika Bambaataa's former bodyguard says the child molestation allegations against the hip-hop pioneer are true.

KRS-One says the child molestation allegations against Afrika Bambaataa are a personal matter and don't affect hip-hop.

"This is false allegations that’s being put against me. A lot of lies, and it could be me today and you tomorrow. I completely deny all types of accusations."

Cornell University is under fire for housing Afrika Bambaataa's vinyl collection in the midst of sexual assault allegations.

Three more men have accused Afrika Bambaataa of sexual assault, with one saying of the initial claims, "I know what Ronald Savage is saying is true because he did it to me."

"These allegations are baseless and are a cowardly attempt to tarnish my reputation and legacy in hip-hop at this time."

Afrika Bambaataa is being accused of serious sexual abuse crimes.

Update: A spokesperson for the Universal Zulu Nation tells XXL the claims are "100% untrue."

The legendary Afrika Bambaataa will be acknowledged for his contributions to hip-hop by the Global Spin Awards.
