(Deutsche Welle) The anti-Semitism commissioner from Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, has sharply criticized a video featuring controversial German rapper Farid Bang which calls on people to observe COVID-19 social distancing regulations.
The short video was produced in collaboration with the western city of Düsseldorf and posted to their official social media channels on Wednesday.
“The choice of rapper, Farid Bang, for a public project, which is supposed to shed light on the topic of the coronavirus, is hard to bear,” the former federal minister of justice and now state anti-Semitism commissioner, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, told the Rheinische Post newspaper.
