criticism

Liont had to take a lot of criticism, especially from the German rap scene. For him, it's not about music, but about generating the highest possible income through product placement at the expense of his predominantly underage fans. The rapper Gio wrote a Disstrack against Liont that was accessed 7.5 million times, followed by a Disstrack by the rapper 4Tune . The Liont album Löwenkind took the top spot on a list of the “Top 30 most hated albums of 2015” compiled by the magazine laut.de. The scene magazine rap.de judged the album Löwenkind: “You can also hear Liont's lack of routine, the half-baked voice and the poor tact. In every song. "

Margarete Stokowski criticizes Liont in her book "Unterrum frei" because of misogynistic statements.
