Moses Pelham's Final Album 'Letzte Worte' Debuts at No. 3 in German Charts

The German rap pioneer reflects on his career and defends his collaboration with controversial singer Xavier Naidoo.

Moses Pelham, a founding figure in German hip-hop, has released his final album, 'Letzte Worte,' which debuted at No. 3 on the German album charts.
The album features a collaboration with Xavier Naidoo, whose past controversies include accusations of antisemitism, racism, and involvement in conspiracy theories.
Naidoo publicly apologized in 2022 for his past actions, calling them mistakes and expressing regret, but he faced charges of incitement to hatred in 2024, which his legal team contests.
Pelham explained his decision to work with Naidoo, citing a long-standing artistic connection and the integral role of Naidoo's voice in his musical journey.
British rapper Central Cee secured the top spot on the charts with his album 'Can't Rush Greatness,' marking a first for a UK rapper in Germany.
