Over the course of over 20 years, many extremes accumulated in Xavier Naidoo: from the BRD GmbH to the “flat earth” to more or less hidden anti-Semitism and homophobia in his song lyrics and very crude conspiracy theories about captured children who were being drained of “adrenochromes”. and final battles between robots and clones in underground tunnels between New York and Germany.
According to his latest video, Naidoo now distances himself from all extremes and asks for forgiveness. This is a good first step, but skepticism about it is not unfounded.
The Naidoo video
In the 3:15 minute video, which has been racing through all social media since it was published by Naidoo himself on the evening of April 19th (which is why a deepfake, as some suspect, is rather unlikely), Naidoo begins his apology with the following Sentences:
“Like you, the events of the past few weeks have shocked and shocked me. The brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, the violence, the contempt for humanity, the fact of a war that is not far from us shocked and deeply shocked me.”
He goes on to say, obviously evident from the eyes moving left and right and the somewhat stiff speech, that his dismay comes from the fact that his wife comes from Ukraine and her family still lives there - definitely a good reason to be affected and to hope that her family is doing well.
But then Naidoo changes the subject and goes on to say that through many conversations with friends and those affected, he was also confronted with his own statements and therefore went through a process of critical self-reflection. He recognized the wrong paths he sometimes taken and that he had made many mistakes in recent years
He realized that he had offended his friends and fans with his comments. , he ultimately lost his way, which is why he now distances himself from all extremes , especially right-wing and conspiratorial groups.
This will not be an easy path
In the section above I have put some words in italics, and for good reason:
they show that Xavier Naidoo may actually regret his statements of the last two years, which include, for example, his warnings about the COVID-19 vaccination, which is akin to genocide should be the same, or his famous sobbing video in which he talks about children who are being drained of “ adrenochrome ”, but he doesn’t really want to distance himself from all extremes.
he told the joint ARD and ZDF morning magazine that Germany was still an occupied country and therefore not a real country.
Naidoo adopted a position that was rather laughed at at the time, as was the case with the moderators, but has now emerged as dangerous: the so-called “Reich Citizens Movement” represents exactly this view and is not afraid to arm itself for its self-created position rights in “BRD GmbH”.
Naidoo's conspiracy theories, which include, for example, the " Flat Earth " ( as proof he held a ruler in front of him and "measured" the horizon), only really became known to the general public when he made a video of him in March 2020 dropped from the jury of “Germany is looking for the superstar”. After that, Naidoo really got started and until recently spread wild conspiracy stories about vaccinations and the “ruling elite” on Telegram.
But that should now be over. At least as far as his statements from the last two years are concerned, if Naidoo is being honest in his new video. It is certainly commendable if he has really recognized his massive missteps and wants to change! But it is also to be hoped that this will not be his only step on this rocky path.
And the “taste” lasts as long as possible. Is it real remorse? Is it just another move like the one on RTL in 2020, when he said in a video afterwards that he was only on the DSDS jury to promote his new record? And how far will his remorse go? Just about the statements of the last two years or even beyond that?
If it turns out that Naidoo is actively opposing the conspiracy myths he spreads, this would be another good, but above all necessary, step on his path. He must consider that many of his fans may refuse to be vaccinated because of his statements, endangering themselves and others by causing people to die who should not have died. Naidoo also has to actively work through this.
And it really won't be an easy road for him. But if he really follows it through to the end, including his erroneous statements and views of the last 20 years, then, and only then, will he deserve our fullest respect!
