Afrika Bambaatta dies on tenth anniversary of being accused of sexual abuse by Ronald Savage, April 9, 2026
Per Wikipedia, Afrika Bambaataa was 68, and days away from being 69. That said, almost all the media is reporting he is dead at age 67.
This death comes on the anniversary of DMX (Dark Man X=49, today is 4/9).
Recall that DMX has Black Rob were on the track “24 Hours to Live,” and died 24-years after the song was released. I bring this up because Black Rob died on Afrika Bambaataa’s birthday, April 17.
He has died on 59 date numerology (4+9+20+26=59).
I wrote a book about this in 2016, the killing and shaming of black celebrities by the ’59 code.’ It goes with Black History Month ending on the 59th day of the year, and Motown coming out in ’59.
In that book, I said 59 is often paired with 42. In this case, he has died a span of 181 days from Ronald Savage’s upcoming October 6 birthday (181 is the 42nd prime — Black History=181).

Today is the tenth anniversary of Ronald Savage accusing Afrika Bambaataa of sexual abuse.
He has died just before the 44th birthday of Planet Rock (Kill=44, African-American=44).
The song is 43 years old and 356 days to be fair (Afrika Bambaataa=43, Planet Rock=43).
