Discussion in the comment column
With this, Farid Bang played with the term “rapist” and triggered under the followers: inside discussions about Lindemann. Some called Till Lindemann a “rapist”, others defended him as an artist. The reaction was also mixed through Farid Bang’s comment. Some accused him of rape that is not an issue that should be joked. Others criticized him to spread unconfirmed allegations in this way.
How Farid Bang stands for the allegations of Lindemann is not known. However, a few months ago he had appeared with a post read by Followern and the media as a satirical post at the expense of Lindemann. In a story on Instagram, he posted a photo of Lindemann and football player Jerome Boateng, to whom his ex-wife had accused assault in 2019, but against whom the procedure was hired as against Lindemann. Farid Bang wrote the photo with the words: “If she invites you to her birthday and ask you, I can bring two friends with me”, and an emoji that touches her eyes uncomfortably.
To the backgrounds
Two women had reported alleged sexual attacks in the context of Rammstein concerts in 2023. According to the “Tagesschau”, Lindemann had announced that the sexual acts described by the women were mutually agreed. According to “Tagesschau”, the Berlin public prosecutor’s office had initiated an investigation against Lindemann last summer on suspicion of committing sexual offenses and violations of the Narcotics Act. The procedure was stopped after a good two months.
Lindemann published the solo album tongue for the first time on November 3, 2023.
