Afrika Bambaataa is facing fresh allegations of sexual assault, this time from a French rapper named Solo.
Solo, a French rap group Assassin member, shared the shocking allegations during a sitdown with CliqueTV.
He says the assault occurred when he was 16. He said he walked in on the legendary rapper watching p-rn but did not go into detail about the alleged incident.
“Being confronted by a predator, especially someone you admire, is very difficult because you respect this person. Realizing they have flaws that lead to inappropriate behavior is shocking,” Solo said, per a translation.
He says he was not sure what he had experienced at the time but later understood.
“I needed personal development and support to even recognize that I was a victim. That was the hardest part.” He added, “There’s this feeling that you didn’t react the right way at the right time. Over time, I understood that mechanisms are triggered that make it impossible to respond appropriately.”
Bambaataa has previously been accused of s-xual assault and r-pe by at least two other men. At the time, he denied the allegations.
