Video Director Rapes Daughters and Fathered Children to Create 'Pure Bloodline'
Award winning music video director Aswad Ayinde was sentenced to 50 years in prison this week for the sexual assault and rape of his daughters.
Ayinde, 55, directed The Fugee's 1990s smash hit "Killing Me Softly." The 50-year sentence will be added on to a 40-year sentence he received a year ago for similar charges involving his children, according to the NY Daily News.
He fathered six children with his daughters between the 1980s and early 2000s and delivered the babies himself while burying the ones that were stillborn. This latest 50-year sentence was given in a trial in which he was charged for sexual assault by his 35-year old daughter.

"I can't describe how much you hurt me and my sisters," said his daughter in court, according to North Jersey.com.
Ayinde's former wife Beverly testified in a pre-trial hearing in 2010 citing her ex's reasoning behind the sexual assault and impregnation of his own children.
"He said the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen," she said. He had hoped to create a "pure bloodline," according to prosecutors. He raped five of his daughters forcing them to have six children.
Beverly and Ayinde had nine children together and he also fathered even more with two other women in New York.
She also claimed Ayinde beat the children with wooden boards and steel-toed boots which is why it took them so long to speak up about his abuse.
"I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented or being a pedophile," said Beverly in court in 2010. "I knew the word, but I wouldn't dare use it because it would result in a beating."
One of his daughters had four children as a result of the assaults. Two have genetic illnesses that doctors believe could be attributed to incest, and one of them died in 2010 from spinal muscular atrophy. She was 9.
