Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Family Reflects on His Legacy Ahead of Wu-Tang Honor

This weekend is a monumental weekend for the Wu-Tang Clan and for the late ODB. How does it feel for you guys, you know, to be here for this moment, you know, and, you know, we all miss him. I know you guys on another level. I feel honored. I feel like we have to come here to represent. You know, it's like we got to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to get something that my husband's not here to receive. So, you know, we have 12 grandchildren together that he never sees. So this is a great honor. And my son is here. He's performing in his place. Is he really? That's huge. Yes. That's beautiful. He's the one who just called me and said, Mommy, I'm here. So I'm here with my daughter, Shemita, and my baby girl, and I'm here with my oldest daughter, Tamika. Listen, you know, like... All the fans are in the house. I wondered if anyone was a rock star from the Wu-Tang Clan, it was that man. You always see people say, oh hip-hop doesn't have a place in the rock. You see all these old angry people, these old rock stars, the Kiss guys, these guys. They always have something negative to say. It originated from hip-hop. It originated from us. New York City in the house, right? That's where it originated from. I'm sure, and I don't want to make anyone feel sadness because it's a celebration. It's a great honor. Do you guys, what do you guys think he would be doing in 2026 with his music? He would be with all his grandparents. He would be in Africa right now. He'd be in Africa? He'd want to be somewhere free from everybody. He'd want his family to be with him. That's where he would want to be. All his grandchildren. Oh, man. He just wanted to heal himself and be with me and the children. That's what he wanted more than anything. All his children. As far as... Songs that you got to see performed. What is like the, I know you know the secrets because, you know, your son is going to be performing as him in his place. What song, if you had a choice, would be like the one song that embodied him so much? I know it's Brooklyn Zoo, but I know they're probably going to do Brooklyn Zoo, but that's my song. Yes. Yeah, that's awesome. No, Brooklyn Zoo. Should we, should we go? Brooklyn Zoo came on, that was ODB, that's Brooklyn all the way. Like that really made people feel a certain way when that song came on. It hit home. Well, we can't wait, we can't wait for... I want you guys to have your moment to celebrate your father and your husband. Any message to the Wu-Tang Clan fans that are going to be tuning in or showing up? Just watch out. We there. We coming to stunt. We coming to support you and show support. Wu-Tang for the children. Yes. Thank you. Bye. So everybody, we here, we here for my dad, ODB. Bye. Bye. Bye. I love that.

It was on last night. So I just, you know, I want to show support to my brother, to my mom, to my sister. Congratulate us. I can't really say what happened, but my dad would be super excited. Something that he wanted for years. Oh, you got some secret stuff here? Yeah, I have stuff going on. I feel that. I feel that. Yeah, we just need to support each other. Customers coming home.
