The A List everything in her mind sampled a song from one of the worst child predators in the world.

It is the “Zulu Nation” leader who has been hunting little boys since the 70s. He is a monster.

Will she stop performing the Control song even though she knows he is paid as a writer every time she does it?

No.

Everyone in her team wants her to stop performing the song or release a version without his sample because he uses the money he makes from it to silence his victims.

Will she do it?

No.

Horrible.

Dozens of concerned individuals convened at City Hall in New York City, demanding the resignation of Rocky Bucano, the Executive Director, President, and Chairman of the Universal Hip-Hop Museum (UHHM), citing his alleged association with the Universal Zulu Nation. Led by journalist Leila Wills, who co-founded the advocacy group Hip-Hop Stands With Survivors, the demonstration sought justice for survivors of child sexual abuse, particularly those who have accused Afrika Bambaataa, the founder of the Universal Zulu Nation.

The allegations against Bambaataa, whose real name is Lance Taylor, date back to the 1990s, with multiple individuals coming forward with claims of abuse and exploitation. Among them is a John Doe who filed a civil suit in 2021, alleging years of abuse and sex trafficking at the hands of Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation. Hassan Campbell, a prominent figure in hip-hop culture, has also spoken out about his experiences of abuse by Bambaataa during his adolescence.

In response to these allegations, Bucano has denied any affiliation with the Universal Zulu Nation and has asserted that Bambaataa has not been involved with the UHHM since 2016, when the accusations surfaced. However, concerns have been raised about the museum’s promotion of the Universal Zulu Nation despite the allegations against its founder.

Wills has been vocal in her criticism of Bucano and the museum’s handling of the situation, calling for transparency and accountability. She has compiled reports detailing Bucano’s alleged ties to the Universal Zulu Nation and has demanded his resignation. Despite assurances from the museum regarding its commitment to survivors, Wills and her supporters remain skeptical, especially considering the museum’s receipt of public funding from various governmental bodies.

The controversy surrounding the UHHM underscores broader issues within the hip-hop community, including the need to address allegations of abuse and to ensure that survivors are heard and supported. Wills and Hip-Hop Stands With Survivors are advocating for a more inclusive and accountable approach to preserving the legacy of hip-hop while holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
