The abbreviation “cred” stands for the English term credibility, in German credibility and is used primarily by young people and in the context of hip-hop and rap and gives a person a quality. Either she has cred or she doesn’t.
Cred means, for example, whether you buy what a rapper claims to be and how they present themselves to the outside world. Much more important is the truth content.
