Episode Details

Afrika Bambaataa, the hip-hop pioneer, passed away from cancer complications. Despite his contributions to the genre, he faced serious accusations of child molestation and sexual assault from multiple men, including Hassan Campbell. Campbell detailed years of abuse, which led to Bambaataas expulsion from the Universal Zulu Nation in 2016. An anonymous victim sued him in 2021, winning a default judgment. Campbell recently called Bambaataa a predator, closing a painful chapter for survivors as hip-hop grapples with its complex heroes.
