Somali rap promising to 'scatter' enemies underscores Omar's serene lakeside video

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., posted a serene lakeside video Friday set to a Somali hip-hop song whose lyrics boast of enemies scattering and being "crushed," days after federal agents searched her Washington home as part of a criminal investigation.

"Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes," the embattled congresswoman wrote on X in a post made at the end of last week.

She attached a video of herself and her husband, Tim Mynett, walking on a dock over a lake with vibrant fall foliage in the background. The pair posed, smiled and appeared to chat as they serenely strolled across the dock, looking fondly at each other as the lawmaker running for reelection held a coffee. It ended with a montage of images from their walk.

But a loud Somali hip-hop song accompanying the video told a much different story.

"Let me reveal who I really am. No enemy dares threaten me, wherever I step, they scatter," the lyrics to the song say in Somali, according to a translation obtained by Fox News Digital. "They flee and stay far away. I have always been the source of their distress."

The song, "Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya," is by Ilkacase Qays, whose real name is Muse Abdikadir. His website describes him as a "U.S. based Somali singer, rapper and activist." The duet-style track features Somali singer Hodan Abdirahman.

A cultural analysis of the song says it is "a powerful example of Somali lyrical poetry built around pride, bravery, personal dignity and unwavering trust in Allah."

"A fool’s words carry no weight," the lyrics say. "Those I have angered now insult me. If the just one had felt anger on my behalf, would he not have crushed the enemy underfoot?

“… is by Ilkacase Qays, whose real name is Muse Abdikadir.”

Well I’m glad they sorted that out.

For a minute there I was certain it was Ickbajiid Khar-Bombb, who has already voted 2,752 times in this year’s Minnesota elections.
