(AllHipHop News) The first man to accuse Afrika Bambaataa of sexual molestation has decided to make proactive step to prevent children from being molested.

Ronald Savage made shocking allegations that the Hip-Hop pioneer sexually accosted him when he was underage in the early 1980’s.

Now, Bee Stinger as he was known in his Zulu Nation days, is starting a new organization to stop what he says happened to him from happening again.

Stinger does not mention Afrika Bambaataa by name in an exclusive statement to AllHipHop.com, but he refers to an unnamed person as “the godfather of Hip-Hop.”

“This is the time that all communities including the Hip-Hop world to remind our children about sexual predators instead of turning a blind eye in Hip-Hop,” Stinger said. “This reminds us that molestation isn’t just in churches…but also in Hip-Hop.”

Stinger also stated that Hip-Hop culture as a whole must speak out.

“I am willing to listen and share ideas worldwide about this growing issue and teach our children that not speaking up will only hurt you in the end,” Savage said. “I am challenging the intelligence and priority values of rappers and entertainers worldwide to reach out to me to start dialogue in how are you going to help me protect the children who buy your music.”

“We have to remember as entertainer’s children come first not predators and not reminding ourselves and our children what happened to Ronald Savage and others is sheltering the truth so a predator can strike again but this time it might be your child. The hip hop world needs to keep this lesson close and learn from my situation the lifelong effects and turning a blind eye does not help Hip-Hop it hurts it,” Savage concluded.

Afrika Bambaataa has never been convicted of any crime, even though multiple men have stated he molested them as kids. In all cases, the statue of limitations had long passed.

(AllHipHop News) Freddie Gibbs is heading to Austria.

Unfortunately, it’s not for a show, but to answer an accuser who claims the rapper raped her.

Freddie Gibbs was taken into custody in Toulose, France on June 2, after a show at a local venue called Rex.

The rapper was detained and jailed by French police, due to a warrant for his arrest in Austria, where the crime allegedly occurred in 2015.

“The order was not surprising and it doesn’t change the fact that these are false allegations,” Freddie Gibbs’ U.S.’ attorney Scott Leemon told AllHipHop.com.

“We are still hoping that once the Public Prosecutor in Austria interviews Freddie she will decide not to go forward,” Scott Leemon told AllHipHop.com. “If she does decide to go forward, Freddie will fight the charges with everything he’s got.”

Freddie Gibbs, born Fredrick Tiptonwas locked up for two weeks in Toulose, before he was finally released on $56,000 bail on June 16.

The rapper, who must check in with French authorities three times a week, surrendered his passport and has been stuck in France ever since the ordeal began.

According to reports, Freddie Gibbs still has 72 hours to appeal the ruling.

(AllHipHop News) R&B singer Chris Brown is facing serious allegations that he assaulted a man who was hired to rehabilitate his image.

According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ.com, Chris Brown hired Mike G. and his company Nightvision Management in 2012, to help restore his image after the singer infamously beat up songbird, Rihanna.

But all of the work over the past several years went out the window last month, after Chris Brown attacked Mike G, born Mike Guirguis, supposedly without provocation.

According to the lawsuit, Chris Brown administered a drug-fueled beating that was brutal enough to send Mike G. to the emergency room.

To make things worse, Chris Brown mocked the beating on social media and has allegedly been threatening members of working on tour with the same treatment.

Mike G. claims he fears retaliation from Chris and members of The Fruit Town Piru’s, a gang Chris Brown is associated with.

(AllHipHop News) Wu-Tang Clan fans still may never get to fully hear the one-of-a-kind Once Upon A Time In Shaolin album, but the New York City collective is in the process of creating another LP.

And it looks as if Ghostface Killah will be at the helm for the project.

“RZA put the ball in my hand. He said ‘Yo, I want you to do it,’ and I been wanting to do it, and that’s a big test for me right there,” Ghostface told HipHopDX.

The creator of the classic albums Supreme Clientele and Fishscale has already mapped out his plan for bringing the Wu’s next collection together. Ghost is set to record his parts first, and then have the other members follow suit.

“It’s like how they do in sports with athletes. It’s like alright, just follow my lead,” explained the Staten Island representative. “I could be wrong, but my ears are my judgment. My heart tells me what’s right. But then again it might be somebody unexpected that blows everybody away. That’s how the Clan be. You never know who’s going to blow the track.”

Besides 2015’s Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, the Wu-Tang Clan also released A Better Tomorrow in 2014. Ghostface Killah’s last solo effort was Twelve Reasons To Die II which arrived nearly one year ago.

B.o.B Talks Being Labeled A “Conspiracy Theorist” (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Earlier this year B.o.B became a trending topic for several days after the Atlanta native promoted the idea that the world is actually flat. He was immediately hit with a torrent of backlash from social media users, astronauts, and famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

B.o.B has continued to use his Twitter timeline to question a number of things many others would consider conventional wisdom. That way of thinking has led to the No Genre leader being labeled a “conspiracy theorist.”

Hot 97’s Nessa caught up with Bobby Ray to ask him about his thoughts on the tag.

“Me and the circle of people that I’m around and who I hang out with all the time – it’s normal to talk about stuff that people would deem conspiracy, that would not fall inside of that common ‘knowledge’ or common dialogue that people have,” stated Bob. “So I definitely hate that word [conspiracy]. But it is what it is. People call it whatever, but at the end of the day, the point is to provoke thought.”

B.o.B went on to add that he does not want people to automatically believe what he says. The “Airplanes” hit maker suggested more research should be done by each individual.

In addition, B.o.B suggested government agents have been tracking him since he began publicly sharing his thoughts about topics such as flat Earth, chemtrails, and genetic modification.

“The first couple of days they had people following the tour, seeing what I was talking about, seeing what I was saying at the shows,” he claimed.

Another Officer Gets Off In Freddie Gray Murder Case

(AllHipHop News) Baltimore police officer Caesar Goodson, Jr. was accused of second-degree depraved heart murder, three counts of manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in the death of civilian Freddie Gray.

Thursday morning, Circuit Judge Barry Williams acquitted Goodson on all charges and he will walk a free man with no repercussions in the death of Gray.
Goodson was one of six officers accused, but he faced the most serious of the charges.

He was accused of not helping Freddie Gray and giving him a “rough ride,” a murderous drive through the city that broke Gray’s neck. Prosecutors say that Goodson was directly responsible for the injuries that ultimately killed Gray.

According to insiders, the other four officers may not even go to trial now that the most serious charges have not resulted in a conviction. Critics say this is a huge overreach by the state. Judge Williams stated that the prosecution simply didn’t prove its case.

Goodson’s attorneys charge that he didn’t know that Gray was hurt when officers put him in the back of the police van without a seat belt. Goodson also said that it was the responsibility of other officers to put the seat belt on Gray.

Defense lawyers for Goodson also charged that Gray stood up in the van when police put him on his stomach.

Goodson opted for a bench trial by judge instead of a jury.

William Porter was the first of the six officers to stand trial, a date that ended in a hung jury and mistrial last December. Officer Edward Nero’s case resulted in him being acquitted on all charges.

There are four remaining court dates for the six officers. They are all expected to request bench trials as well.

(AllHipHop News) Fat Joe and Big Pun’s widow Liza Rios have come to an agreement over the legal issues surrounding the late emcee’s music profits. Rios sued the Terror Squad leader for breach of contract, reportedly for more than $1 million.

Bossip reports Joe and his co-defendant music publisher Jelly’s Jams has agreed to terms with Rios.

Lawyers for both sides met for mediation at Manhattan Federal Court on Wednesday, and a confidential settlement was eventually reached.

“We are pleased with the settlement,” stated Rios’ lawyer Lita Rosario. “We think it was fair, and we’re pleased.”

This development comes after years of animosity between Joe and Rios. At one point, Rios blamed Joe for her family having to move into a homeless shelter.

The “All The Way Up” performer then accused Pun’s widow of brainwashing her kids to believe he was stealing money from them.

Fat Joe was instrumental in Big Pun breaking out as a platinum-selling Hip-Hop artist in the 1990’s. The two Bronx natives collaborated on songs such as “Watch Out,” and “Twinz (Deep Cover 98).”

Christopher “Big Pun” Rios passed away on February 7, 2000 at the age of 28. His cause of death was listed as a heart attack and respiratory failure.

(AllHipHop News) Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar’s Reebok sneaker line has been used as a call for unity among street gangs. “The Blacker the Berry” rhymer continues that mission with a new release.

K. Dot’s Classic Leather edition, designed in conjunction with Ian Paley, includes a split blue/red seam, which serves as a symbol of peace between the Crips and the Bloods. The 2015 Kendrick Ventilators had a similar theme.

Reebok’s director of entertainment marketing Damion Presson gave an interview to Billboard about the latest collaboration with Lamar.

“Kendrick is taking a different approach with his capsule, as he’s building purposeful product that has a message of unity which transcends the Bloods and the Crips,” said Presson. “This shoe reflects the sentiment of youth culture globally, and Reebok Classic has stood the test of time and continues to inspire the next generation of consumers who look to be fashion forward while embracing the nostalgia of an iconic shoe.”

(AllHipHop News) Noel “Detail” Fisher is seeking money from Drake.

The producer of Lil Wayne’s “How To Love” and Beyoncé’s “Drunk In Love” is suing Drizzy for allegedly orchestrating an attack at the rapper’s Calabasas home.

According to TMZ, Drake wanted to sign Detail as an exclusive producer back in 2014, but the Detroit bred Cash Money affiliate declined the offer.

Apparently, Drake was upset about the rejection.

Detail claims he was invited to Drake’s home to work on music later that year.

The lawsuit contends that Detail was attacked by Drake’s “bodyguard” Chubbs once he arrived at the location, and he suffered a broken jaw from the incident.

Chubbs supposedly yelled, “I will beat all your a####, including your b-tches. I don’t give a f-ck. I will hit you again. Do you think Drake is soft? You think Drake’s a punk?”

Detail believes Drake set up the attack, and he wants to be compensated. An exact amount has not been disclosed at this time.

Drake’s 2013 album Nothing Was The Same included production work by Detail.

The Grammy winner helped create “Own It,” “305 to My City,” and “Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2.”

Fetty Wap “Wake Up” Drama At Eastside High School Rages On Over Misleading Documents

(AllHipHop News) Eastside High School officials are still being questioned after school documents concerning the filming of Fetty Wap’s “Wake Up” video were revealed to be improperly completed.

A few major issues raised by the mishandling of the scheduling forms for the video centers around requirements that outside groups pay fees and provide insurance for using the educational facilities, and if those duties were neglected.

According to the North Jersey News, one main issue was the fact that the rapper’s name was never mentioned on any of the forms that have been reviewed thus far.

“That’s what we in the insurance industry call being evasive. If everything is on the up-and-up, why be evasive,” quipped Victoria Oquendo, a member of the school district’s parent organization.

District officials claimed that the ongoing investigation is not due to the controversial content of Fetty’s “Wake Up” video.

According to the report, the scheduling form indicated the involvement that the video was being shot on behalf of Youth Counseling Services Inc., and Eastside High School’s Home School Council, an alleged parents group for the school.

The dispute has been raging ever since Fetty Wap released the video for “Wake Up,” which is set inside a classroom in Eastside High, complete with weed smoking and pole dancers.

Eastside High’s principal Zaiti Moody has been placed on suspended leave for his alleged involvement in the incident.

The suspension has been protested by concerned supporters including Fetty Wap, who made a brief appearance and apologized for the video.
