Riding the Coaster With O.D.B.
The Three Kids of Ol’ Dirty Bastard
Taniqua Jones DOB 4/23/88 HOMETOWN Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn CALLING Craft specialist for the disabled; cast member, Growing Up Hip Hop New York; co-director of the estate of Russell Jones (otherwise known as O.D.B.)
Barsun Jones a.k.a. Young Dirty Bastard DOB 4/9/89 HOMETOWN Bed-Stuy CALLING Entrepreneur
Shaquita Jones DOB 3/11/92 HOMETOWN Bed-Stuy CALLING Mother; DeVry MBA student; co-director of the estate of Russell Jones
THE MOMENT THEY KNEW THEIR DAD WAS FAMOUS “He came to my classroom because I was bad in school,” Barsun says. “He was supposed to set me right, but as soon as he came, teachers started acting different and classmates started participating in his celebrity. So now being bad for me was good: He was in the room.”
O.D.B.’S FAVORITE ROLLER COASTER “He would take us to Six Flags all the time,” says Taniqua, “and Coney Island. He loved the Cyclone. He was always just our daddy. He was famous, but he never changed for nobody. He never faked the funk.”
THE DOWNSIDE OF BEING YOUNG DIRTY BASTARD “For me,” Barsun says, “having O.D.B. as a pops was real hard. People thought I was rich, and I was not — when he got locked up, we wasn’t really making too much money. I was never rich until I made myself rich.”
