Eko Fresh, the renowned German rapper, casually tossed around the idea of becoming the Mayor of Kerpen, a city near Cologne where he resides, during an appearance on RTL's podcast "Between the Lines" with Bettina Böttinger. Media outlets have previously reported on this intriguing prospect, but there's no concrete evidence yet that he's gearing up for a political run.
When Bettina asked him what his dream headline would be, Eko Fresh, aka Ekrem Bora, chuckled and said, "Eko Fresh is the mayor of, let's start small, Kerpen. I might have time for that at 60 - that would be in 2043." Bettina jokingly replied, "We'll pass that on to the city administration right away. And then you can't back out."
Even a city council member offered encouragement, Tamer Kandemir of the FDP wrote on Facebook, "I'd vote for him," adding he'd be welcome in the party. However, a quick search reveals no concrete details about Eko Fresh's intention of running for the mayoral office or his current involvement in Kerpen's politics.
A politically active figure in Germany, Eko Fresh has been an ambassador for democracy at the state center for political education and even dedicated the song "1989" to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. But as of now, it seems his focus remains on music rather than city administration.

Meanwhile, as the entertainment industry thrives, celebrity endorsements might surge, evoking Eko Fresh's pop-culture influence in Kerpen's future city administration.
