Now Xavier Naidoo (48) speaks: The singer has commented on the video circulating on the net, which is currently celebrated in right circles. In a statement that he posted among other things on the social networks, it says: "Xavier Naidoo has very decisively rejected allegations of a short video circulating on social media with a text from 2018. Racial hatred and xenophobia are completely against him strange, even if he sometimes expresses himself emotionally and artistically. "
The 48-year-old opposes the "absolutely wrong interpretation of his statements". Naidoo also affirmed that "people fleeing war need our help and full solidarity." "For years I have been fighting against exclusion and racial hatred out of deep conviction. Love and respect are the only way for social interaction," said the singer's personal message.
"My family also came to Germany as a guest"
At the same time, the singer warns that all people are responsible for attacking peaceful coexistence, "regardless of their political direction and regardless of their origin". Democracy in Germany must remain "defensive". This is the only way to guarantee a life in "peace and harmony".
The aim was to prevent "tragic acts of violence such as in Chemnitz, Halle, Hanau and elsewhere". "My family also came to Germany as a guest and, of course, adhered to the host's law and moral standards. This should go without saying for everyone – even if only a very small part misunderstood it," said Naidoo. This small part weighs on everyone else, "who is thereby" placed in a clan "and endangered by a frightening increase in acts of violence".
You can see that in the video
The video showed up on Monday evening (March 10th). In the 45 second long clip, you can see Naidoo apparently singing a few lines of a previously unpublished song on a webcam. The video literally says: "There is no man far and wide who can still save this country. The main thing is that it is politically correct, even if you die of it." Naidoo continues to describe what happens if a murder occurs almost every day, in which the guest steals a life from the host. Nobody is allowed to torture his people. "Let's finish it, and now. You're lost," the singer ends his contribution.
