Bushido is happy about the honorary sponsorship of the Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) for his triplets born in November.
»Today the Federal President took over the honorary sponsorship for our triplets.
Thanks to the deputy district mayor for the nice reception," wrote the 43-year-old in an Instagram story on Tuesday.
He shared a photo of himself, his wife Anna-Maria Ferchichi and their three daughters together with Cerstin Richter-Kotowski (CDU), deputy district mayor in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf.
He also posted one of the three sponsorship certificates in the story.
From the seventh child in a family, the Federal President can take over the honorary sponsorship.
In the case of multiple births, the parents can apply for sponsorship for all children who were born together with the seventh child.
In addition to the certificate, the honorary sponsored children also receive a sponsorship gift of 500 euros.
However, he had donated the godparent gifts from his three daughters, said Bushido.
The Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office also recognized this.
"Mr. Ferchichi is currently overcoming a number of hurdles and is open to the social needs of children, who often lack access to education, homework help or a hot lunch," said a statement.
At the end of November it became known that the public prosecutor's office in Potsdam had accused Bushido, whose real name is Anis Mohamed Ferchichi, of arson.
He is said to have hired accomplices to set his house on fire.
The rapper and his wife have seven children together.
Anna-Maria Ferchichi also has a son from her first marriage.
"I never thought I'd read Steinmeier and Bushido in the same sentence...crazy," she later wrote on Instagram.
