Two high-ranking Zulu Nation officials, meanwhile, recently called Savage several times and said they would help him get a sitdown with Bambaataa so he could confront his alleged abuser. And they vowed to help him get compensation for the alleged abuse.
“Name your price,” one says on recordings of the conversations reviewed by The News. “We can take care of this today. Cash money.”
Both men asked Savage to stop speaking to the media about the abuse allegations, although it is not clear that they are trying to buy his silence.
“I’m not talking about no $5,000,” the man says. “I’m talking about, let’s get a number, let’s say $50,000.”
“One hundred thousand!” Savage fires back, although he repeatedly adds during the conversations that he doesn’t want Bambaataa’s money.
Tozaki says Bambaataa has no knowledge of the conversations.
“Neither of the two men were given authority to speak on Bam’s behalf,” the lawyer says.
