Summary
Ronald Bee-Stinger Savage, who met Afrika Bambaataa at just 15, is stepping up to defend the legendary hip-hop icon’s legacy, insisting Bambaataa is being unfairly targeted by unverified claims. Savage clarifies he lied about his age to blend in, never forced into anything, and willingly joined Bambaataa’s orbit to be part of hip-hop’s movement. He dismisses the 12+ allegations and a default judgment against Bambaataa — noting a default means absence from court, not guilt — and confirms they made peace before Bambaataa’s passing. Savage urges the community to honor Bambaataa’s monumental cultural impact, not divisive rumors — let him rest in peace. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
