ODB’s Son to Perform With Wu-Tang at Rock Hall Induction
Written by adamraymitchelleve@gmail.com on November 13, 2026
Wu-Tang Clan heads into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tomorrow night, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard will be represented by his own blood. ODB’s widow, Icelene Jones, told TMZ after arriving in Los Angeles with two of his daughters that their son, Young Dirty Bastard, will perform with the Clan at the induction ceremony on Saturday, November 14, at the Peacock Theater.
The timing carries real weight for the family. Today, November 13, marks 22 years since ODB died in 2004 at just 35 years old. Icelene said she feels honored to represent her late husband, called him a true rock star who would have appreciated the honor, and noted he now has 12 grandchildren he never got to meet.
Wu-Tang enters the Hall in the Performer category on its first nomination, a formal salute to a crew that built an empire out of Staten Island, from 1993’s “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” to a business model that let every member build a solo career without leaving the collective. The ceremony tapes tomorrow night and is set to air on ABC and Disney+ in December.
Icelene also left fans with one more reason to pay attention: asked about recordings still sitting in the vault, she hinted there may be unreleased ODB music to look forward to, answering simply, “I think so.”
