Clip sensation on the web
Hungarian rapper attacks the government in Budapest
A music video critical of the government by the well-known Hungarian rapper Majka has become a sensational success in Hungary. The clip not only tops the charts of the most searched videos on YouTube in our neighboring country, but also in Austria.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The video by Péter Majoros, known by his stage name Majka, has already been viewed 5.1 million times on YouTube since its release last Friday (as of Tuesday, 8pm). The clip for the song "Csurran, cseppen" (literally: "It runs, it drips", meaning money) is about the prime minister of a fictitious country called Bindschistan, who gives a live interview for the first time after eight years in power.
Shortly before the interview, he is given a truth serum by a waiter - in whose character many users believe they recognize Hungary's opposition leader Péter Magyar due to external similarities. Under the influence of the drug, the prime minister, portrayed by Majka himself, uninhibitedly spills the beans about corruption, greed and the stupidity of the people.
Users congratulate musician on his courage
Many users congratulated the 45-year-old rapper, who is one of the best-known artists of this genre in Hungary, on his courage to openly criticize the regime of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Majka had hardly ever made any political statements before, he was seen more as a figure who tried to fit in, commentators recalled.
Rapper attacked by people close to Orbán
After the clip was released, the rapper was immediately publicly attacked by the media and people close to Orbán's ruling Fidesz party. The musician tried to calm the waves in response to the violent reactions. He said on Facebook that he did not want to "join any political side" but was critical of the entire elite.
