Music producer 9th Wonder has confirmed recent remarks made by rap veteran Q-Tip about Young Money head Lil Wayne joining the Zulu Nation.
According to 9th, Tip and himself decided to induct Weezy F. Baby.
“Dwayne Carter, also known to the world as Lil Wayne, is a member and an Ahki (which means ‘brother’) in the Universal Zulu Nation founded in 1973 by Afrika Bambaataa—a former gang member of the Black Spades. This decision was made by Zulu King Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) and Zulu King 9th Wonder. Deal with it.” (HHDX)

Along with Weezy F. Baby, handfuls of notable hip-hop crews have previously joined the organization.
The Zulu Nation was founded by legendary MC Afrika Bambaataa back in 1970s, when former gang members began doing their part to spearhead cultural programs for the youth. The organization was furthered by artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Public Enemy, KRS-One and more in the 1980s. (MTV)
Last month, Wayne and R&B singer Christina Milian appeared at the American Music Awards to perform their new “Start A Fire” record.
Ring the alarm. Lil Wayne heat up the stage with the debut performance of his new single “Start a Fire” at Sunday’s AMAs. The Young Money chief was joined by rumored girlfriend and YMCMB labelmate Christina Milian on their duet, which is set to appear on Weezy’s oft-delayed album Tha Carter V. (Rap-Up)
suwoop to zulu!!!?
what Jay said??? “EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE”
money can buy out the most righteous brothas! bottom line!
Sure can. There are at least a hundred other brothers worthy of being inducted (Nas, Common, AZ, Royce Da 5’9, Jeru the Damaja, Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, any member of Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Lupe Fiasco, Big Krit, Andre 3000, Bun B). Unless all or at least half the names I mentioned have been inducted (which is very possible) I don’t see why they’d recruit Wayne. Not hate to the homie though since he can spit.
Some of the guys you mentioned might already be in. Especially the NY brothers. Tho i’m not sure.
I hope so.
Not one Louisiana rapper, huh? I guess your source and methods are bias.
I named mostly eastcoast cats, but I did include southern spittas as well. Now you gonna say I didn’t select a rapper from each of the 50 states? lol What’s particular about Louisiana? I also didn’t select rappers from Missouri or Idaho or Nevada, Florida, Alabama, etc. lol
Because Lil Wayne is from Louisiana, duh.
Of course I wouldn’t name him because I disagree with him being inducted lol
Huh
I could google it but nah..what exactly is this group?
This nigga a groupie smh
if u ask me q tip and 9th wonder the groupies for this one
they just lost a huge part of credibilty, and qtip BEEN suss
What exactly does this mean?
I didn’t know Tip had that much power in the nation……
