Controversy with Xatar
KC Rebell got into an argument with rapper Xatar in mid-2016 after Xatar claimed that KC Rebell had wanted to join his label, Alles oder Nix Records , a year earlier . KC Rebell denied this statement and the two rappers exchanged verbal hits on the Internet.
On August 15, 2016, a friend of KC Rebells was attacked by several men in the Belgian Quarter in Cologne and was finally able to escape into his vehicle after several knife wounds and skull, cheekbones and jaw fractures. Shots should also have been fired. Xatar was seen by witnesses near the crime scene.
On August 19, 2016, KC Rebell released its disstrack Dizz da versus Xatar . The title of the track is an allusion to Xatar's statement "Iz da" (Is there). In the track, KC Rebell raps about the events that should have happened between the two rappers. He also insulted Xatar and discussed the rapper's private life. However, KC Rebell did not address the stabbing and shooting.
On August 22, 2016, it was finally announced that the Cologne District Court had issued an arrest warrant against Xatar, as well as against his two business partners involved in the bar, in front of whom the violent attack took place. They were accused of involvement in attempted manslaughter or suspected attempted manslaughter or dangerous bodily harm. Two of the three wanted surrendered to the police in Cologne on August 22nd. Xatar turned himself in to the police there on August 23, 2016. He remained at large on bail and reporting requirements. According to the investigation, Xatar was not directly involved in the crime, but is still under investigation on suspicion of involvement in attempted manslaughter.
On February 16, 2017, Xatar announced via Facebook that he would not respond to the disstrack and instead insisted on a peaceful solution to the dispute, adding that he apologized for the previous verbal attacks against KC Rebell. The following day, KC Rebell commented on this statement and also ended the beef on his part and accordingly removed the Disstrack Dizz da from YouTube.
