The Düsseldorf-based rapper Kollegah, real name Felix Antoine Blume, has been involved in a serious traffic accident. The 41-year-old posted a video on his Instagram profile on Sunday evening in which you can see the total loss of his Maybach. This is being towed away, with the accident truck behind it.
“The truck raced at over 100 km/h into the 15 km/h Maybach,” explains Kollegah in the video. The low speed suggests that the rapper was probably stuck in a traffic jam and was hit by the truck at low speed.
According to his own statements, he was lucky in misfortune: “I spun and crashed into a wall. The airbag didn’t deploy. Nevertheless, I got out unhurt and thanked God for protecting me once again.
The video contains numerous expressions of solidarity from fans and fellow rappers who are happy that nothing happened to Kollegah. It is not yet known which highway the accident occurred on and how the truck driver is doing.
Kollegah: One of the most famous and controversial rappers
Kollegah is one of the most famous and successful rappers in Germany. He has been releasing music since the mid-2000s and has received numerous gold and platinum awards for albums such as “King” and “Pimp Tape”.
His style can be assigned to gangsta rap. Critics accused him of glorifying violence, sexism and homophobia. He has also been repeatedly criticized for using anti-Semitic imagery in his music. At the 2018 Echo award ceremony for Kollegah and the rapper Farid Bang, there was a scandal: numerous musicians criticized the award to the two, who had attracted attention with a line about Auschwitz inmates. The echo was then abolished.
The rapper himself always rejected the allegations and justified his lyrics with artistic freedom. However, he apologized for the line and visited the concentration camp in Auschwitz that same year. Kollegah announced that he would never again use the terms “Holocaust” and “Auschwitz” in his songs. He realized “that this can be really hurtful.”
