VIDEO-Cherif Kouachi Charlie Hebdo Shooting Suspect Rap VIDEO | Mediaite
Before he was a suspect in the brutal Wednesday massacre of 12 people at Charlie Hebdo‘s Paris office, Chérif Kouachi was apparently an aspiring rapper.
Video from 2005 has emerged of the alleged terrorist showing off his rap skills during an FR3 documentary on the recruitment of young Islamic extremists. Kouachi spoke about his budding hip-hop career and shared a video of himself spitting rhymes.
The program, entitled Pieces á Conviction (English: “Incriminating Evidence”), is a weekly investigative journalism show hosted by Elise Lucet.
The 32-year-old mass murder suspect was 23 at the time. His brother, Saïd Kouachi, a fellow suspect in the killings, was featured in the documentary but did not possess such hip-hop aspirations.
