The man behind one of the most iconic R&B music videos of all time will spend the rest of his life behind bars after he was found guilty of trying to create “pure” blood lines by siring six children with his own daughter.
Aswad Ayinde, 55, of Paterson, NJ was sentenced to 50 years behind bars for sexually assaulting his daughter which will be tacked onto the 40 he is already serving for sexually assaulting another one of his daughters, according to NBC New York.
In March Ayinde was convicted of multiple charges in relation to his second daughter who he had sex with when she was between the ages of 8 and 22, impregnating four times.
Ayinde, who also goes by the name Charles McGill, is best known as the director of the music video for the Fugees’ classic “Killing me Softly” which won “Best R&B Video” at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards.

The conviction and sentencing comes after the messianic sexual deviant was convicted in 2010 of repeatedly raping his daughters in order to create “pure family bloodlines” because he believed that “the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen,” his wife Beverly Ayinde said, according to the Daily Mail.
In order to keep his doomsday plan a secret Aswad often raped his daughters in an abandoned funeral home and delivered the babies he had with them on his own to avoid prying eyes, according to documents from the 2010 case.
He also told his kids to avoid their peers, which was relatively easy because they were home schooled.
“No one really asked questions of each other because somebody would tell on somebody and somebody would get in trouble,” Beverly Ayinde said at a 2010 pre-trial hearing.
According to authorities, Aswad Ayinde’s reign of terror lasted for nearly 20 years with the family bouncing around Florida and New Jersey in order to evade child welfare authorities.
To keep his wife and children in line Ayinde beat them with wooden boards and steal-toed boots for even “minor transgressions,” Beverly said.
“I was afraid to ever accuse him of being demented or being a pedophile. I knew the word, but I wouldn’t dare use it because it would result in a beating,” Beverly said.
Ayinde was finally arrested in 2006 and faces three more trials for alleged sexual assaults against three other daughters.
