Aziza Kibibi was
only eight-years-old when her father – an MTV award-winning music
video director - started defiling her. By 10, Aswad Ayinde’s lessons
teaching his daughter ‘how to be a woman’ turned violent and his
regular defiling produced five children out of inc*st in a perverse
attempt to create a ‘pure’ bloodline.
Ayinde, who is also known as Charles McGill and won fame after
directing The Fugees’ ‘Killing Me Softly’ video, was sentenced to 50
years in prison on July 26, finally ending Kibibi’s nightmare.
The incredibly brave woman, who is now 35, married and running a
promising baking business, spoke out about the traumatic childhood
this week for the first time.
It was when Kibibi started to mature that her father started giving
her unwanted attention.
‘He told me I was special. Initially, it was to teach me to be a
woman,’ she said. ‘By the time he started having intercourse with
me, he was getting more and more violent. When I would start
fighting him, he would hit me. It was more about threats.’
When Kibibi’s first child was born without defects, Ayinde took it as
proof and continued to r*pe the girl to get her pregnant.
But the following children would not be so lucky. Two further
daughters born from her father would be diagnosed with
phenylketonuria (PKU) a disease that prevents the body from
breaking down amino acids. PKU can cause brain damage and
seizures.
Dr. Anna Haroutunian, a PKU specialist who has treated Kibibi’s
children, said they definitely got the disease because of inbreeding.
Kibibi and her sister decided to finally bring charges against their
abusive father. They delayed pressing charges since they were
unsure of the effect it would have on the children.
She shared her story in hopes of making a difference with those in a
similar situation.
‘Instead of just being an experience that I had, maybe this
strengthened me. What doesn’t break us makes us stronger.’
