In the process, rapper Samra talks about the separation of Bushido and clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker.
The “Eye of Providence” sits on the neck of rapper Samra (27). His latest tattoo is an eye in a triangle. Known from every dollar bill. Sleepy and legs apart, he hangs in the witness chair with his arms crossed.
“Sit up straight,” the judge yells, “it looks like you’re about to fall asleep!” At least you’re there, you’ll soon have it behind you!” Samra sighs: “That’s what my mum said too.”
Day 64 in the trial of Arafat Abou-Chaker (46) and his brothers. In 2017, the clan boss is said to have demanded millions from Anis “Bushido” Ferchichi (43) for the end of their business relationship. It’s about attempted severe extortion, dangerous bodily harm, deprivation of liberty.
Rapper Bushido is said to have been locked in the office on January 18, 2018 on Puderstrasse (Treptow), thrown at with a bottle and a chair).
Rapper Samra sits between the chairs as a witness. To his right is the dock with clan chief Arafat staring at him. To his left is the co-plaintiff with Anis Ferchichi aka Bushido, who avoids all eye contact.
How does he know these two? “Through music, I was signed to Bushido.” Why not more? “Didn’t fit humanly. I wanted to release more often. Bushido had other problems, the separation from Arafat.”
Why did this happen? “They were like an old married couple, no longer in the mood for music. I stayed with Bushido because I wanted to make a career. The rest of the artists were for Arafat.”

How was the mood during the division? “High-spirited and moody. Five against Bushido, me for Bushido. Arafat then wanted to get me into the team, I should diss Bushido.”
The judge: “So the musical man for the rough stuff. You then separated from Bushido?” Samra: “He said do your thing and bye.”
The judge: “He told us here that the separation was because you feared trouble with Arafat.” Samra just shakes his head. The judge: “Could it be that Arafat waved a pair of scissors in front of your face?” Samra cheerfully: “Well, I could certainly remember that. That didn’t happen!”
But he also says: “I was constantly stoned, most of it passed me by.”
Next: tomorrow. Verdict: June 29th.
