Swiss rapper Loredana is one of the most exciting new faces on the German TV landscape and is causing a stir with her appointment as a DSDS (German TV show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”) judge. But who is this talented artist who has made a name for herself both in the music scene and in the headlines?

Loredana’s rise began on social media: Via platforms such as Instagram and YouTube, the Lucerne native quickly made a name for herself with her cover songs and distinctive style. Her breakthrough came in 2018 with the hit “Sonnenbrille” (“Sunglasses”), which achieved over a million views on YouTube within 24 hours. This, in turn, quickly earned her a place among the best-known female rappers in the German-speaking world. She continued her career with further successful singles such as “Bonnie & Clyde” and the debut album “King Lori.” Loredana quickly established herself as one of the most successful artists of her generation, but it wasn’t just her music but also her private life that repeatedly came under the spotlight.

Loredana and the spotlight – lots of highs and lows

In 2019, Loredana caused a stir with personal headlines. She split from her then-husband and rapper Mozzik. They have a daughter, Hana, together. However, their relationship had been like a rollercoaster ride. The two married twice and broke up just as often.

That same year, Loredana made the headlines due to allegations of fraud. An elderly couple accused her of defrauding them of several hundred thousand francs. After paying a six-figure sum, the case was eventually dropped, but the allegations and public pressure did not leave the rapper untouched.

A breath of fresh air at DSDS! Loredana is a juror

In 2024, Loredana sets off for new shores: she is on the jury of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS). Alongside jury legend Dieter Bohlen, singer Pietro Lombardi, and pop queen Beatrice Egli, Loredana will judge talented young musicians. This is an exciting challenge for the rapper. In an interview, she confidently emphasized: “I have enough experience in the music industry to know what is important. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent.” She also has a special relationship with the casting show. “For me, DSDS was one of my late father’s favorite shows. And when I got this request, I knew I had to be there because I was always told that it was so much fun,” said the 29-year-old in the “Intouch Interview.”

Love in focus: Karim Adeyemi and Loredana

Loredana has been in a new relationship since 2023. Her partner is none other than German international footballer and BVB star Karim Adeyemi. The two met via Instagram and have been sharing regular insights into their life together ever since. Despite the seven-year age difference, they seem happy and in love. Despite everything, Loredana does not want to be perceived as a player’s wife.
