Constantly shouting that you don’t want a wheelbarrow, but that you want to be in front of every camera next to dad Xander de Buisonjé: Sem van Dijk elicits quite a few cynical reactions. Shownieuws does not participate in that…
The showbiz of the fake babies: there is a group on every corner of the Mediapark. Sem van Dijk is also one: his mother is Wendy van Dijk and his father is Xander de Buisonjé, and now he wants to become famous himself. He recorded a cover of Hou Me Vast together with dad. But a wheelbarrow? No, he absolutely does not want that.
Wheelbarrow
Sem is always annoyed when people say that he is only in the spotlight because of his parents. This week he was sitting at the table at Op1 – yes, next to papa Xander – and Sven Kockelmann asked: “That is what people think very quickly: oh, he has all wheelbarrows. But you can also turn it around: isn’t it much more difficult for you?
Yes, Sem thinks so. “It’s double. Everyone always says: ‘It’s so easy, because you already have a start.’ Of course, you also have advantages, but everything you rap or say… You have to be careful what you say. You just have to keep it clean and everything.”
Together with dad
But if, as the ultimate fake baby, you don’t want to be called a fake baby and you don’t want to use wheelbarrows, why are you taking daddy Xander with you to every media appearance? Then you already know what people are going to say, don’t you?
Sem has already received a big blow from camp RTL Boulevard, but what about Wendy’s colleagues from Shownieuws? No, they don’t participate in all those cynical reactions to Sem. They all think it’s wonderful. She is completely radiant and that is probably because of that song that Sem recorded with dad, according to presenter Dyantha Brooks.
“She’s beaming!”
Dyantha thinks it’s all so beautiful. “I want to talk a little bit about Wendy. She looked radiant ever. She looks very good. Wendy looks radiant and has every reason to, because her son is busy.”
Colleague Bart Ettekoven: “Yes, Sem is busy. 20 years now, is at the Rock Academy, the Herman Brood Academy. He enjoys music and has now recorded a song with his father.”
Then Wendy speaks in a pre-recorded item: “Yes, of course there is a proud mother here. He just follows his heart. He says: ‘I think it’s such a beautiful song and it has always touched me.’ The idea was already there that it would be a new version with a rapper and then he thought: well, that rapper is me.”
‘How cute they are!’
Has Wendy been asked about the fake criticism? No. She does say: “He has already made and stored a lot of his own songs, but he follows his heart and thinks: I think it is such a beautiful song and also a tribute to my father.”
Leontien van Moorsel then at the Shownieuws desk: “They are so nice, aren’t they? Sem really just looks fantastic!”
Dyantha: “Really nice!”
Leontien: “A wonderful youngster!”
Dyantha: “Father-son, that’s always fun!”
Hopefully they will be paid per slime blob at Shownieuws. Still delivers a nice bonus…
