The German-born former rapper Deso Dogg, who abandoned his music career in 2010 and became a recruiter in Syria for the Islamic State, was killed in an airstrike this month, the Pentagon confirmed Friday.
The musician, born Denis Cuspert, toured with the American performer DMX in 2006 but later abandoned rap music and became a well-known singer of nasheeds, or Islamic devotional music, in German. The State Department designated him a terrorist in February after determining he had become a “willing pitchman†for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

At least he wasn't an "aspiring" ISIS member. Crazy Germans. /sarcasm

I thought that music was “haram” in the Religion of Pieces.Sounds like this worthless piece of excrement should have killed *himself* for having defied the will of “allah”.

Once again the nyt prints an article about a nobody that nobody knows or cares about. I guess they want to make us all feel as though we are on the outside while they are in the inner circle, a part of the happening crowd.This is just like GMA ABC throwing in a story about a rapper we should all know

He did, now he’s scattered, smothered, and covered.

Mr. Cuspert was born in Berlin to a German mother and a Ghanaian father who soon left the family. Where have I heard that story before?

If the fight against ISIS accomplishes nothing else, at least there is one less “rapper”’infesting the earth...

He earned his fate. Too bad all his comrades don’t join him. Islam must be destroyed.

I think this whole thing is about showing that obama IS doing something, like Putin.

This has a bad title. He’s not just an ex-rapper, he’s an ex-terrorist, too. In fact, he’s an ex-human.
