The Lidl rapper on the train became famous on TikTok overnight.
The videos were clicked millions of times.
Even arrest warrant has noticed him.
Bürgstadt – A spontaneously recorded mobile phone video from a regional train on the way to Erlenbach caused a real hype on the TikTok platform.
You can see what appears to be a younger man in work clothes from the Lidl supermarket chain, who, according to our research, works in the Lidl branch in Bürgstadt in the Lower Franconian district of Miltenberg.
In the almost two-minute mobile phone video, the Lidl employee shows what else he can do in the supermarket in addition to making rules.
With success - in a few minutes, the speech-singing artist imitates rap stars such as Haftbefehl, Capital Bra (singer with the most number one successes in Germany) or Kollegah.
His fans in the train compartments, including an older senior, celebrate the rapping Lidl employee.

But who is the Lidl rapper who could take on the arrest warrant and Capital Bra?
The man with the blond hair and Lidl work clothes is not entirely unknown in the rap scene.
At a so-called "rap tournament" in 2017, the Lidl rapper has already demonstrated his skills in several well-produced rap videos.
Initially disguised as "Plankton", the rapper sought protection behind a mask.
Similar to the rapper Sido, who kept his face hidden behind a skull mask at the beginning of his career.
In additional videos within the competition, "Plankton" dropped his mask and showed his face.
Among other things, the Lidl employee rapped about his origins in Bavaria.

How does Lidl find their employee's hidden talent?
For the discounter, it is not the first "singing voice artist" from among the Lidl employees.
As early as 2021, Lidl itself produced a rap video in which one of its employees rapped "Tillmann" via the Lidl Plus app.
The discounter had landed an advertising hit with it.
In the rap song from 2021, competitors like Penny, Aldi and Netto faced a lot of headwind.

The well-known rapper "Arrest Order", who was also impersonated in the well-known TikTok video, has also already taken notice and uploaded the rap video in an abridged version to his own account.

An allusion to one of the most successful songs of arrest warrant "
Chabos know who the Babo is".

It remains to be seen what the rapper's future holds.
Will the Lidl rapper continue to work at the discounter or will he now aim for a career as a rapper?
On Tuesday, July 26, 2022, the rapper published a “statement” on his own TikTok account (29,000 followers) and talks about the future.
Pocarap, as the "Lidl Rapper" calls himself on TikTok, says: "My punchlines, like my hair, have fallen out a bit in recent years, so you can look forward to a lot".
In doing so, he gets his fans, who are now almost 29,000, in the mood for more rap videos.
It is still unclear whether Lidl is involved.
The official "Lidlde" account comments with: "LidlRecords soon".
