The rapper of Moroccan origin Ali B describes as "surreal" his appeal trial for sexual assaults . Convicted at first instance, the 44-year-old artist strongly disputes the police investigation and says he is the victim of a media trial.
The downfall of Ali B can now be measured in euros. Seized by the government, the luxury Bentley of the rapper convicted of rape was auctioned off on Wednesday evening for 67,031 euros, a derisory amount that seals the end of the splendor for the fallen artist.
The downfall of Moroccan rapper Ali B continues on the financial front. While he was sentenced to two years in prison for rape and attempted rape last July, his luxury vehicle was seized by the Dutch tax authorities and put up for online auction by the government.
Rapper Ali B is currently facing three accusations of sexually inappropriate behavior, including one from singer Ellen ten Damme. While the latter did not wish to file a complaint, she did report an incident with the Moroccan, triggering the opening of an investigation by the Dutch judiciary.
Moroccan-Dutch rapper Ali B, coach of The Voice of Holland, was fired after two complaints of sexual assault were filed against him. The talent show’s group leader is also targeted by the same allegations.
