Berlin (AP) - The trial against the Berlin rapper Fler continues today.

Contrary to the original plan, the rapper Bushido and his wife will not be questioned as witnesses on the third day of the trial.

A court spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

Fler, real name Patrick Losensky, has to answer before the district court Berlin-Tiergarten for a number of offenses such as insulting, damaging property, attempted coercion and driving without a license.

The rapper is said to have massively insulted various people - including a neighbor and a lawyer.

On the Internet, he called rapper Bushido a “bastard” and a “disgusting dog”, according to the prosecution.

Bushido's wife was also insulted.

Today a journalist is supposed to testify, whom Fler is said to have threatened.

The rapper reportedly announced by telephone to a colleague of the witness that he would break his teeth.
