Here's an official statement from the Hip Hop Alliance:
Today, we acknowledge the transition of a foundational architect of Hip Hop culture, Afrika Bambaataa.
As the founder of the Universal Zulu Nation, Afrika Bambaataa helped shape the early identity of Hip Hop as a global movement rooted in peace, unity, love, and having fun. His vision transformed the Bronx into the birthplace of a culture that now reaches every corner of the world.
Through his music, leadership, and influence, he contributed to the foundation of Hip Hop’s core principles, inspiring generations of MCs, DJs, breakers, and cultural leaders. His imprint on Hip Hop
history is undeniable and will forever remain part of the culture’s origin story.
At the same time, we recognize that his legacy is complex and has been the subject of serious conversations within our community. As an organization committed to truth, accountability, and the preservation of Hip Hop culture, we believe it is important to hold space for all voices while continuing to uplift what empowers and protects the people.
Today, we extend our condolences to all who were impacted by his life, his work, and his presence.
Hip Hop was built on truth, and through truth the culture continues to grow, heal, and evolve.
Rest in Power Bam.
Respectfully,
Hip Hop Alliance
