In another strange series of events in northern Syria, the failed rap artist who publicly threatened U.S. President Barack Obama has been killed in an airstrike after spending three years jihading around the country

The infamous German rapper turned jihadist – Denis Cuspert – was reportedly killed during a United States Air Force bombardment over the Al-Raqqa Governorate on October 16th, according to a statement from the U.S. Defense Department Spokesperson, Elissa Smith.

Denis Cuspert (AKA “Abu Talha Al-Almani”)- formerly known by his stage name “Deso Dogg” – joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in December of 2012 in order to fulfill his “duty” to Allah – he would later appear in several propaganda videos for the terrorist group, where he would publicly threaten officials and world leaders.

The U.S. Defense Department alleges that Denis Cuspert was the man in a video released last November that shows the latter holding the severed head of a man executed by the terrorist group.

Denis Cuspert pledged an oath (bayah) to the leader of ISIS – Sheikh Ibrahim Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi – in 2012 and since then, he has worked as the chief recruiter for the terrorist organization.

The deceased terrorist was very active on social media, where he would recruit new members of ISIS and encourage terrorist attacks against western countries.
