According to earlier reports, Massiv, whose real name is Wasiem Taha, was shot three times Monday evening by a masked man as he stood by his car talking on his cell phone. He was hospitalized and reportedly lost a lot of blood, but chose to leave the hospital later that night.
Though many say the attack came as a result of the rapper aligning himself with a large Arab gang in Berlin for protection and to boost his credibility, German police say the isolated incident could have been staged.
In other news…
While Police accept bullets were fired, they describe Massiv's injury as a mere graze to the skin. They are also questioning how reports of the rapper's brush with death, began to appear on Massiv's website just minutes after the attack.
"Several shots are supposed to have been fired at the singer from close range, so we are rather surprised that only one bullet grazed his arm. However, there is no doubt that there was an incident." Said a police spokesman.
Massiv has adamantly denied allegations the incident was a publicity stunt to promote his new album One Man One Word, due out on February 8th.

I heard about this. But I'm kinda surprised Jokesta actually posted an article about him. Since nobody knows this dude outside of germany.
We post international news here and there..
Yea.. Not sayin its a bad thing tho, I dont know if it sounded like that.
latino???? Ain't buddy german?!!
No comment.
such unecessary ignorance
i bet if you said that to him he would punch you in the mouth and knock you to the floor. and then shoot you. and then rap about it.
l0l this really would have been a article if he woulda lost too much blood and died . .then he would have really looked like a dumbass! ALL OF THIS JUST TO BOOST HIS ALBUMS SALES WTF IS THE WORLD COMING TO?
That sucks. I don't see how anyone would take bullets for publicity

even if its not a publicity stunt it happened for no reason now... the fuckin press be accusing ppl of shit b4 they know the truth so either way it might as well be a publicity stunt now
munny you are a real bitch. do you really think that nobody out of the usa can rap???...You a big fool
and you are a racist...do you notice that?...fuckin faggot
He Might be racist against germans but you seem to be racist against gay people. Now look who at the being a hypocrite
It's not 'racist' against gay people; it's 'homophobia' and it seems to be rife amongst Def Sounds commentators. So many haters on this site.
50 cent, huh?
u cant really blame him. this is the standard that we set in hip hop nowadays, overproofed gangsta image...of course the rest of the world gonna emulate that. if they only knew...
Didnt Nelly do this in the Movie Snipe? How retarded...Nelly did that in a movie also...I remember...horribly acted too
it was one of them lame BET movies
lmao...
lol who cares about German rappers?
what difference does it make where they from?
Massiv??!?! bet u if it wasnt staged then he got shot for havin a stupid name!!
I never heard anything so lame cats are literally dying to be black. you know how powerful we are?
I'm from Germany and this Motherfucker is the biggest bitch ever! He's originally from a little village called Pirmasens and went to Berlin to "become" a Gangstarapper although there are no real Gangstaz in Germany! This is a Publicitystunt i telly you but...i just wanted to say that german Hip Hop is ten times better than this topical american Stuff thats commercial successful...and stuff like this shooting makes me think our Hip Hop becomes the same!
I'm not german,but I wouldn't say there's no "real gangsta's" in Germany. wasn't it like last year 8 people got gunned down by the mafia in front of some resturant? Think it was Germany? Either way there's "gangsters" everywhere just not always street style ones. But if this dude planned this he's fucked up...and must feel cheap now cause this will only lower the sales of his album if anything.
do u think america is the only place with gangs?? im not saying this guys a gangsta but there r gangs in every country in the world.. n not because of rap eithor...
lmao fake ass nigga he aint the only rapper that do publicty stunts for record sells
Can you imagine a rapper coming up to you and asking you to shoot him to boost his sales....ha!
I'd do it....
and get paid....

Omg hes the biggest Fake Rapper over here...hes probably the worst rapper ever, the only reason he is successful is because there are a lot of turkish, pakistani etc. people who only support him because he says hes hard and a real muslim n shit...but these people have NO clue what german rap is...they only like him because he aint german...nobody that is really interested in hip hop likes him, he just sucks...he loses every beef he starts...so dont care bout him...and i wanted to say that there is very good music made by german rapper/artists whatever...e.g. phreQuncy is a german producer and hes singed at g-unit records, just one example..
"Ye im from the hood but my crib in the suburbs!" Biatch
