Xatar, bourgeois Giwar Hajabi, is dead-several of his rap colleagues have announced this on the net. He was considered a formative artist in German rap, but was undoubtedly a controversial figure that was not afraid of a public conflict. His beefs ranged from personal clashes to tangible escalations. Here is an overview of some of his most famous disputes.
KC Rebell vs. Xatar: A label dispute escalated
The most famous conflict of Xatar developed with KC Rebell. The trigger was Xatar’s claim that KC Rebell wanted to join his label “everything or nothing records”, which he denied. The tensions escalated in August 2016 when a friend of KC Rebell was brutally attacked in front of Xatars Shisha-Bar in Cologne. Shots fell and the victim suffered serious injuries. Xatar then faced the police, but the arrest warrant was later lifted because he was able to show an alibi at the time of the crime. KC Rebell published the Disstrack “Dizza”in which he sharply criticized Xatar. In February 2017, Xatar said publicly that he wanted to end the conflict, whereupon KC Rebell removed the discr also way from YouTube. But the network never forgets.
Sero El Mero VS Xatar: Missing respect
Another conflict was created with Sero El Mero, a former protégé Xatars, who is said to have enjoyed himself on Xatars label insolvency. Eno, also an artist from Xatar’s environment, publicly expressed his disappointment about Sero El Mero after this Xatar indirectly insulted in an interview. Eno is said to have said: “But brother, who the hell is that you are telling him: ‘I have’ a pizzeria, come to me ‘? I didn’t find that nice brother, I found it a bit disrespectless.” Sero El Mero then reacted in his Instagram story and explained that there were things between him and Xatar that Eno knew nothing about. However, he emphasized that there was “no evil blood” between him and eno.
Farid Bang vs. Xatar: private tensions – and a reconciliation
There were also tensions with Farid Bang, which, however, did not escalate publicly. In 2019 there was a reconciliation between Xatar and Farid Bang, which they made public in a common video. The two rappers emphasized that there was no reason for hostilities and that they want to deal with each other peacefully in the future. He was also one of the first to put his condolences to the death of the rapper.
Bero Bass vs. Xatar: dispute over alleged debts
Bero Bass, a former companion of Xatar, critically commented on him and accused him of not having paid debts. In an interview, Bero Bass said that Xatar let him down financially, even though they used to work closely. Manuellsen, another rapper, commented on the conflict and asked both sides to settle their differences.
