Wow, he was a huge part of my childhood and part of the reason I love music so much.

It’s lies.

In May 2016, Bambaataa left his position as head of the Universal Zulu Nation due to multiple allegations of child sexual abuse dating as far back as the 1970s.

Also, convicted last year: Afrika Bambaataa loses civil case suing him for child sexual abuse

So 100% true.
