The Berlin streamers "Almani" and "Chapo" broadcast a livestream from the European Parliament in Brussels at the invitation of German MEP Lukas Sieper. The rappers "Almani" and "Chapo" posted a video of their livestream from the European Parliament in Brussels on Instagram on Monday, October 19.
They had "briefly turned the Parliament upside down," Almani wrote in the post, thanking Sieper and his team for the invitation. The scenes are taken from the streamers' video.

Security Sets a Deadline
In the video, the streamers jokingly refer to Sieper as their cousin. They ask about free seats, and Almani shadowboxes against an invisible opponent. "Who has ever shadowboxed in the European Parliament?" they say in the video.
A security officer asks for authorization. "Of course, we are authorized. We are famous Streamer from Germany," the guests reply in English. After a conversation, they are given five more minutes.
Asked what would happen if they did not leave, Sieper says in the video that he would then probably be summoned to the office of Parliament President Roberta Metsola the following week. "I know what kind of risk I took on when I invited you here," he adds, asking the streamers not to get him into trouble. In response, they jokingly announce in English a sit-in for their closing remarks.
Rap Crew Meets Young MEP
Almani and Chapo belong to the rap crew AOB ("Army of Brothers") from Berlin's Neukölln district. They are known for, among other things, livestreams from subway and S-Bahn trains; in August, police ended one such stream at Tempelhof subway station. Under the Instagram post, fans alluded to this: "Before in the subway, now in the European Parliament."
Sieper, a lawyer born in 1997, is among the youngest members of the European Parliament. In 2020, he founded the Partei des Fortschritts (Party of Progress) in Cologne with two friends and entered Parliament in the 2024 European election with 0.6 percent of the vote, because Germany had no electoral threshold in that election. Since March 2026, he has belonged to the liberal Renew Europe group.
When the streamers ask how he got into politics, Sieper answers briefly in the video: "I was frustrated."
