Strafanzeige: Jens Spahn geht gegen Äußerungen von Ski Aggu in Video vor

Berlin - CDU politician Jens Spahn has filed a criminal complaint against rapper Ski Aggu for allegedly false statements made in a video. The CDU office confirmed to Deutsche Presse-Agentur that the video's content was entirely fabricated. Ski Aggu, also known as August Jean Diederich, claimed on the video that Spahn was involved with drug use.

However, Spahn's office stated that the rapper had later admitted in the video's description and comments that it was a satirical story and not a factual account. Both the streamer and Ski Aggu had clearly marked the content as satirical in the video description and comments, which received significant audience reaction. The incident occurred in a livestream from a Berlin U-Bahn station where Ski Aggu appeared in a show called "Almani Show." The rapper had been a guest in the show earlier in the week.
