Kollegah and Antisemitism in the German Rap Scene

German rap superstar Kollegah has referred to US President Trump as 'Israel's puppet' in his latest song and rapped about a 'deluded, messianic end-time sect.' These statements have raised concerns in the public sphere as they are viewed as open antisemitism. Kollegah's controversial remarks remain largely unchallenged among his hundreds of thousands of fans, reigniting the discussion on antisemitism in the German music scene. Many are questioning the societal impact of such statements and whether the German rap community is doing enough to combat such ideologies.
