Lord Shariyf, a man who identifies himself as Afrika Bambaataa’s former bodyguard, claims that the hip hop pioneer had a sexual relationship with “hundreds” of underage boys in an interview with radio host Star.
“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,” Shariyf said in the interview.
He claimed that when he encouraged the Zulu Nation to turn Bambaataa in to the authorities in 2007, the organization accused of him trying to extort Bambaataa for money.
“Bambaataa goes around fronting, like he’s this holier than thou,” Shariyf said. “He’s a [expletive] pedophile. This is a well-known fact in the Zulu Nation.”
