Maati, who was just four years old at the time, was hit by a car while walking with her older sister and got stuck under a 1996 Ford Mustang. “Maati was nowhere,” Maxine said in the exclusive clip, which was sent to People“I couldn’t find her. And I kept saying, ‘Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter?’ And everyone said, ‘Under the car.’ When I bent down, all I saw was her. And she wasn’t crying; she wasn’t screaming, but when she saw me, she screamed.”

He added: “Some brothers came out of nowhere. They lifted the car. Someone pushed (Maati) out from under it. She did not cry and she did not scream. She did not know what had happened to her. But when she saw my face, she started wailing.”

One of the people who helped lift the car was none other than ODB after he noticed the commotion outside Papa Wu’s Brooklyn Sounds recording studios on Fulton Street. There is a newspaper article about the accident in the Daily news and he talked about helping Maati The Howard Stern Show after it happened. “I just stopped my car in the middle of the road and ran toward the car,” he told Howard Stern. “What’s going on? Everyone’s talking so fast and moving so fast, it’s like a knee-jerk reaction.”

The little girl’s mother also revealed that the late Brooklyn rapper had kept in touch over the years. “He kept checking in on us – he didn’t just leave it at that,” she said. “And I told him, ‘If you want to talk, call me.’ So he would call me and tell me things that were on his mind.”

Ol’ Dirty Bastard: The story of two dirty guys premiered on A&E this weekend (August 25).
