Shahin Najafi performing for the first time in Canada back from a successful US tour, Shahin Najafi is going to give his first solo concert in Canada. The song Naghi by Persian rapper and poet Shahin Najafi has caused a lot of commotion. The satirical song is written in the form of a prayer to Ali An-Naqi, the tenth of the 12 Shia Muslim Imams, a religious figure highly respected by millions in Iran.
In the song Ali An-Naqi should get Iran back on track, solving real problems like sanctions, the rising dollar to nose jobs, and prayer rugs made in China. Soon after the song’s release in May the fatwa is pronounced.
Najafi is now residing in Germany. He doesn’t regret releasing the song Naghi and will continue with his music.
