Rapper MoTrip (32) has never been seen like this before. In “Sing my song” on Tuesday evening, all dams break with him. Host Michael Patrick Kelly (42) chose «Embryo» as a swap song in South Africa. MoTrip is crying even before Kelly performed it. Because the song is about the abortion of his child. His present-day fiance Larissa became pregnant when he was only 19 and still going to school. “A mistake” that he regrets to this day.
Even before the song was announced, he told Kelly in love about his fiancee: “She is my first big love and I am not hers, but she is mine.” He was obviously not ready for it yet. “I really wanted her, but I was unable to hold her and treat her well,” he says. Therefore, they would have separated for three years. In the meantime they are happy again and parents of two children. But his first unborn child will accompany him for a lifetime. «Back then you were an embryo, today you would be four. Only because of me you are no longer here today, »he sings in his song, which was released in 2012.

«Abortion is a controversial topic»
In it he processes all his pain: «I think that’s the only time I’ve dealt with it in this song. I wrote down everything I felt there. » Talking about it is obviously difficult for the German rapper. «I think the only person I have exchanged directly with is Larissa. Because it’s with her too, it’s autobiographical, »he reveals. He couldn’t say more about that.

Michael Patrick Kelly respects that. It’s the bravest song and lyrics he has ever heard. «Abortion is a controversial issue. Mo is not afraid of it, goes in there and says: ‘This is my story.’ »When he finally sings the song, the emotions take over at MoTrip. He lets his tears run free. He even apologizes to Kelly for his feelings: “Please don’t take offense that it hurts me so much, and I could somehow only perceive it as pure pain.” (bsn)
