Anis Mohamed Youssef Ferchichi, better known as Bushido, is a self-styled gangster rapper who knows the value of bad publicity. Scandals that have followed 34 years is not even almost too numerous to mention - they are too numerous to list.
It is as if he and the old German media made a deal that between them, they will see how much political correctness red button they can hit. Anti-Semitism, homophobia, gangsterism, misogyny, glorification of violence - you name it, he courted - always with a headline-grabbing effect.
In his youth responsible for rap lines like "I'm going to make an attack like Tel Aviv, listen to my voice, I love your mother," the album he released in 2007 called Number 1 Enemy of the State. It is a role he seems to enjoy.

This triggered protests from other artists, even though the prize was awarded by the media and means little more than a good show in the press the next day.
Earlier this year he tweeted a map of the Middle East without Israel marked on, provoking outrage from politicians further embarrassment.
It was partly in response to the reaction, which consists Bushido newest sure-now-to-be hit song Stress Without Reason. It seems the other album by rapper Shindy, called NWA Never Work Again (Nie Wieder Arbeiten).
The sensors say the words "brutal, inciting violence and discrimination against women and homosexuals." Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit and the Free Democratic Party MP Serkan Toren has filed a lawsuit after being attacked verbally in the song.
Now bearing track album that will be in the index sensor youth, which meant only be allowed to be sold to adults. The goal, said the city Berlin interior minister Frank Henkel, is to make it difficult for Bushido "to poison minds and make money from this CD," Tagesspiegel newspaper said on Thursday.
It may be too late - the paper reported that in the city center at least one major music store in Berlin was already sold out. And it was already high in the sales charts.
