French rapper Solo, a founding member of the legendary rap group Assassin, has come forward with allegations against hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa. In a recent interview on French television, Solo revealed that he was sexually abused by Bambaataa when he was 17 years old. This revelation adds to the ongoing controversy surrounding Afrika Bambaataa, who has faced multiple similar accusations over the years.
Solo’s claims carry significant weight due to his prominent position in both the hip-hop and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu communities. Beyond his groundbreaking contributions to French rap with Assassin, Solo has also achieved remarkable success as a martial artist. He is a multiple-time IBJJF European and Master World Champion at the black belt level, a distinction that places him among the elite in the sport.
In his interview, Solo detailed the alleged abuse, describing the lasting impact it has had on him. His decision to speak out comes as part of a broader movement to hold influential figures accountable, even in the face of their cultural significance.
Interviewer: “You say you witnessed a sexual assault on a young boy and later became a victim yourself.”
