Flower garden, Domizianana and Wa22ermann emphasize their solidarity with chief ket – and with Gaza.
Blumengarten, Domiziana and Wa22ermann canceled their planned appearance in the Berlin House of Cultures in the World (HKW) as part of the exhibition “The possibility of unreasonableness” by Jan Böhmermann & Group Royale.

However, the headket show was canceled by the HKW and Böhmermann at short notice-out of concern about anti-Semitic statements.

The background to the headket loading
The rapper’s show in Berlin’s HKW was to take place on the day on which the terrorist attack by Hamas is on Jewish residential areas and events for the second time. But then Minister of Culture Wolfram Weimer warned, according to “Frankfurter Allgemeine”, that Chefket could use his concert to give an anti -Semitic thoughts a space. The HKW and Böhmermann then decided against a headket concert on the grounds: “We see and hear the objection, especially from the Jewish side against the concert evening on October 7, 2025.” Previously, Chefket had supposedly wore a top with an imprint in pictures on which Palestine could be seen without Israel.
Flower garden publish statement on the concert statement
Flower garden, which was supposed to appear on the HKW on September 29, canceled their gig on the grounds that they did not feel comfortable with the situation around the short -term cancellation of Chefket’s concert in the same framework to play their own show. “We do not find it right, like artists: inside (in the Chefket case) and organizer: inside of politics (in this case the CDU-led Ministry of Culture under Wolfram Weimer) and some media are put under pressure because artists: Interior: Interior to the intolerable situation in Palestine and express their solidarity with the suffering civilian population,” said the band in an Instagram story in the evening of September 29th in the evening of September 29th Follower: know inside. “We are still in solidarity with the people in Gaza,” continued Blumengarten there.
Flower garden wanted chief ket to leave their concert solder
According to their own information, flower garden only found out about the cancellation of the chief ket gig on the day of their own appearance. “We then looked for the conversation with everyone involved and decided that we will not play the concert under these circumstances and that we want to offer our slot instead Chefket,” said Blumengarten in the Instagram story. However, Chefket was unable to take this opportunity for logistical reasons that evening.
“Against racism and anti -Semitism”
“Flower garden is against racism, flower garden is against anti-Semitism, against sexism, transaceaption and homooficity. Intolerance and discrimination have no place with us,” the group continued. “Let’s stand together in these times and don’t let us split.” They closed their explanation with a link reference to a call for donations for Gaza from Cadus.
Domiziana also shares statement: “I am in solidarity with Gaza”
Domiziana also founded the cancellation of her show on the HKW on October 2 with the headket loading. “Until the end, we searched for a solution together and at the same time were still waiting for a statement by the HKW, by Jan Böhmermann and the responsible organizer. The statement already published is sobering, and it has now been no way to make an alternative appointment for Chefket,” said Domiziana in an Instagram story.
“For me, this is a condition that I cannot support – so I also refuse my own performance. My political point of view about the catastrophic situation in Palestine is clear and publicly known – I stand solidarity with Gaza, condemn the genocide and position myself against any form of racism, Islamic impairment, anti -Semitism, discrimination and any kind of intolerance. continue to carry out privately and in my project. “
Not compatible with conscience
Domiziana apologized to the fans for the gig failure and continued: “For me personally, the show would also have been important-precisely because it should take place in a political framework in which my voice was also in demand. But under the circumstances I see no way to do this with a clear conscience.”
More statements are missing
Wa22ermann did not justify her cancellation. The HKW or Jan Böhmermann have not commented on the cancellations up to the current date. Chefket’s reaction has not yet been known.
