In the wake of the shocking demise of rap mogul Xatar at 43 years old, the public prosecutor's office has weighed in. According to multiple outlets such as the "Tagesschau", the authorities have initiated an investigation to determine if there was a criminally relevant external factor involved in his untimely passing. At this juncture, there's no evident trace of external violence, according to the prosecutor's office reports.
The ongoing investigation, including an autopsy, aims to shed light on any potential criminal negligence. The initial findings were reported by "Bild" newspaper; Xatar, born Giwar Hajabi, was discovered deceased in his Cologne apartment in the small hours of May 8, 2025. The exact events leading to his death remain unknown for now.
Xatar: A Life Living on the Edge
Everyone's been talking about Xatar, whose extraordinary life motivated the flick "Rheingold" directed by powerhouse filmmaker Fatih Akın. Known for his groundbreaking albums and audacious persona, Xatar also founded various record labels and set up his own shisha bar and snack shop.
Xatar's notoriety wasn't limited to his musical exploits; he also gained significant attention for his criminal antics. In 2009, he masterminded a daring gold heist in collaboration with three accomplices, who, camouflaged as cops and tax auditors, robbed a transporter. After his arrest and deportation to Germany, he served an eight-year prison sentence, roughly five years of which he spent behind bars.
Xatar is survived by his wife Farvah and, as per "Bild", five children.
