“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”: Kem Arslan Gives Angela Merkel Hip-Hop Tuition

Our former chancellor could also learn something from him…

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” candidate Kem Arslan (30) told Gunther Jauch (65) on Monday evening about his meeting with Angela Merkel (67). The freelance rap coach once performed a song for him and then explained to him what the style of music was.

Arslan works as a teacher in an elementary school, but his passion is chanting. Unforgettable meeting happened years ago. After this, Merkel officially attended the Hamburg Hip Hop Academy. Jouches Ratfuchs said: “When she came, we made an appearance for her and performed a song.”

Then he and his artist colleague went to the restaurant with the chancellor, who was in office at the time. Out of curiosity, Jauch asked: “What did she want to know?” The teacher was a little proud: “She wanted me to know what hip-hop really was. Then I was allowed to explain it to her – the most powerful woman in the world at the time.”

In fact, Merkel listened with great interest, which Arslan could not say about every politician. “We also had Kem zdemir and Jürgen Trittin. They were way behind him in terms of empathy.”

In the Jauch broadcast, the 30-year-old was eliminated with the question of 32,000 euros. The quiz master wanted to know: “What do you call the light-dark boundary, for example, that separates the light from the unlit side of the Moon?” There was a choice of gladiator, terminator (right), aviator or fan.

Arslan had to pass and took 16,000 euros home. He wants to go on a trip around the world at some point.
