Ol' Dirty Bastard's Family Gets Emotional Ahead of Wu-Tang Rock Hall Honor | TMZ

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 gold 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's never seen, so this is a great honor. And my son is here, he's performing in his place. Is he really? That's huge! Yes, ODB is here. That's beautiful. Yes, he's the one who just called me and said, Mommy, I'm here. So I'm here with my daughter, Shanita, and his baby girl, and I'm here with my oldest daughter, Tamika. Listen, you know, like... All the 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 know? Because you always see people people say oh hip-hop you know doesn't have a place in the rock you see like all these old angry people that one of these old rock stars the Kiss guys that these guys that these guys they always have something negative to say. It originated from hip-hop, it originated from us, so that's why we're in the house, right? That's pretty good, isn't it? Yes. Good. Could he, I mean, I'm sure, and I don't want to like, you know, make anyone feel like sadness because it's a celebration, but does, do you guys, what do you guys think he would be doing? In 2026, with his music. 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. 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 probably don't do Brooklyn Zoo, but that's my song. Yes. Yeah, that's why I said it's Shimmy Shimmy. No, Brooklyn Zoo. Shimmy Shimmy. 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 you guys to have your moment to celebrate your father and your husband. And any message to the Wu-Tang Clan fans that are going to be tuning in or showing up? What's up? Bye, stay safe. Just watch out. We there. We're coming to support you and show support. So everybody, we here, we here for my dad, Old Dirty Bastard. I love that. So we just, we're coming to show strength, and my brother's here. I'm so proud of my brother. He just did an interview for ABC. ABC, yeah. ABC News. It was on last night. 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 to the club later. Yep, definitely. Wu-Tang for the children. Wu-Tang for the children.
