The new season of DSDS is about to begin and once again a new jury has been assembled. While three faces are well-known DSDS legends, an unknown has crept into the ranks: rapper Loredana. Who is the Swiss woman really and what scandals has she already been involved in? We have all the information.
Egli, Lombardi and Co.: These stars sit on the DSDS jury
For the sake of completeness, we would also like to briefly introduce you to the rest of the DSDS jury. First and foremost, pop titan Dieter Bohlen is returning to the jury desk. It remains to be seen whether the “Modern Talking” legend will still be recognized under all the soft focus. Loyally at his side: Pietro Lombardi. The DSDS winner from 2011 is returning to the jury for the fourth time. His third son was recently born – no wonder that the lavish DSDS fee comes in very handy. New to the group is pop starlet Beatrice Egli – she won the 2013 season and then started an extremely successful solo career. So for fans, a portion of warmed-over DSDS nostalgia – none of the three is really exciting.
The new girl at DSDS: Who is Loredana now?
One stands out among all the well-known DSDS faces: rapper Loredana. While the other jury members have been on TV for more than 10 years, Loredana is aimed at a much younger target group and is probably still unknown to many. Which is not to say that she is not super successful: the Swiss rapper of Kosovar origin suddenly became famous in 2018 with her hit “Sonnenbrille”. The song was produced by her ex-husband, who himself performs as a rapper under the name Mozzik. Since then, Loradana has been an integral part of the charts: fans celebrate her for her catchy beats, direct lyrics and the confident representation of women in German rap.

Loredana: Despite scandalous past, she joins the DSDS jury
Despite her young age of 29, rapper Loredana has already been involved in a real scandal – she probably took “gangster rap” too literally. As the FAZ reports, even before her big breakthrough, she was involved in a brazen scam involving hundreds of thousands of euros. The rapper’s brother used heartbreaking stories to persuade a woman to lend him a large sum of money. When the victim of the scam wanted the money back, another scam occurred: Loredana posed as a lawyer and offered to help the woman get the money back. What the victim could not have known was that Loredana, posing as a fake lawyer, demanded even more money. In the end, an out-of-court settlement was reached: Loredana showed insight and paid back more than the amount of the scam. As the Aargauer Zeitung reports, Loredana ended up having to pay over 600,000 Swiss francs – almost 600,000 euros. Ouch! We can only hope that Loredana has learned from her mistakes and will prove to the DSDS jury that everyone deserves a second chance in life.
