In October 2016, Vice published an investigative article titled "Afrika Bambaataa Allegedly Molested Young Men for Decades" and reported stories from the alleged victims and witnesses. The article stated the accusers "claim that these accounts of alleged abuse have been common knowledge in the Bronx River community and beyond since the early 1980s, including among many of Bambaataa's closest friends and Zulu soldiers."[49] No charges were brought against Afrika Bambaataa.[50] On March 2021, in an interview with DJ Vlad, Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five said "everyone knew" about the accusations, calling it "hip hop's best kept secret" but would not respond when asked if he knew specifically.[51] In October 2021 Bambaataa was sued[needs update] by an anonymous man who alleged that between 1991 and 1995, Bambaataa repeatedly sexually abused him when he was a minor, and also trafficked him to other adult men.[52][53]
