Sido has announced his new studio album “Frieden” – it will be released on November 27th. The Berlin rapper works with Xavier Naidoo, among others.
Sido announced his next record entitled “Frieden” in an interview. The release is planned for November 27, 2026 – it would be the first solo work since “Paul” from 2022. The rapper made the statements in conversation with comedian Abdel Boudii.
In addition to the release date, Sido named the first guests on the LP. A collaboration with Xavier Naidoo, who can be heard on the title song “Frieden”, was particularly highlighted. The Berliner also announced a joint track with his cousin Menowin Fröhlich – the first musical collaboration between the two.
Controversies surrounding Xavier Naidoo
Why Naidoo catches the eye so much? In recent years he has been repeatedly criticized for spreading conspiracy narratives, including (according to “Der Spiegel”) references to Reichsbürger ideologies and QAnon narratives.
In 2020, Naidoo was removed from the jury of the RTL show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” as a result of corresponding statements, as “Tagesschau.de” reported at the time. In 2022 he published a video in which he stated that he wanted to distance himself from parts of his previous positions. However, the public assessment of his person remained controversial – also in connection with later appearances and statements.
