The eagerly awaited rapper showdown in front of the regional court. There was not much to notice at the beginning of Wednesday in the trial against clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker and his brothers.
Rapper Fler (real name Patrick Losensky, 39), called as a witness at 1 p.m., was on time at the security check in the foyer. Should also have been meaningful. But the constables would not let him pass.
“Because of the lack of corona tests,” it said. But he would have been sent to the nearby test center. Half an hour later, the presiding judge surprisingly declared the day of the trial “over”. Why didn’t he want to wait for the rapper to return? Not a word from him about that.
Before, when fellow rapper Ali Bumaye performed, the air didn’t exactly crackle either.
The heavyweight musician, who belonged to the “Ersguterjunge” label until Bushido and his manager Arafat Abou-Chaker separated, remained tame. Words he didn’t say in the process.
And he didn’t say anything bad about his accused cousins either, although it was said that he had fallen out with Boss Arafat. Bumaye called his relationship with Bushido “actually very good”, even “friendly” in terms of the first few years. Until he insulted him (“I don’t know how it happened.”) as a bastard.
He also did not support him musically. At some point Bushido told him that he wanted to separate from Arafat. Whereupon he also told him about his worries.
And Bushido? Then he used it against him. “So sneaky.” Curious: The judge said to the rapper witness, who was difficult to understand despite the microphone being switched on: “Your tongue is like a machine gun. And indistinct at that. Not rapid fire. Single fire please”!
Then the judge asked about January 18, 2018 in Puderstraße (Köpenick). According to the indictment, Bushido was insulted, threatened and hit with a water bottle behind closed doors. “I wasn’t there,” the rapper dismissed. “And speculation is nonsense.”

The judge continued: “Didn’t you even ask what was there?” Ali Bumaye: “I didn’t have to. It was all in the newspapers. All hot air…” The judge: “And Arafat, what did he say?” Ali Bumaye: “Not true.”
He and Arafat also recently split up. “Emanated from Arafat. He’s wanted to quit for a long time.” And him? “I was happy. Arafat was meanwhile more busy with Bushido than with me
Further questions from the court to the witness did not bring anything either. Did he notice that Rommel Abou-Chaker was supposed to debit a larger amount of money from the business account? Ali Bumaye: “No. Did not get it. How much was the amount…?” Further questions were followed by: “I didn’t hear that.” “It wasn’t like that.” “I don’t know.” Ali Bumaye: “At some point I stopped worrying about all that .”
It is unclear whether and when Fler will be summoned as a witness again. Continued: February 9th
