Why Sido is being kicked out of a Berlin restaurant
Rapper Sido and two friends are thrown out of a Berlin restaurant. They allegedly didn't follow the establishment's usual practices. The dispute escalates, and the story ends up online. Now, the owner wants to take legal action against the accusations.
Over the weekend, rapper Sido, whose real name is Paul Würdig, was reportedly at a restaurant in northern Berlin - but not for long. The 43-year-old and his companions were asked to leave. What happened?
According to the article, Sido's cap was the reason for their removal. His friend, influencer Daniel Kallweit, known as "Blocki030," reported in a now-deleted TikTok video that he was with Sido and another acquaintance at the "Dicke Paula" restaurant in Reinickendorf to try some traditional Berlin cuisine. When Sido was asked to remove his cap and refused, the three were asked to leave. Kallweit criticized the request, pointing out that the restaurant staff were also wearing casual clothing like jogging suits and torn T-shirts.
The discussion escalated
Gina Kahl-Reißner, the restaurant owner, confirmed the incident to the "Tagesspiegel." "The 'Dicke Paula' is my living room. I cook according to my grandmother's recipes from Thuringia, so my rules apply here - old-school rules, like at grandma's," she was quoted as saying. She claimed not to have recognized Sido as the guest. Whether his celebrity status would have changed her decision remains unclear. The discussion escalated when one of the men threatened to post about the incident on social media.
Kallweit did indeed post the video four days ago, detailing the incident and alleging hygiene and quality issues at the restaurant. He stated that he would not recommend the "Dicke Paula" anymore. Kahl-Reißner now plans to take legal action against these accusations.
I'm not sure if the restaurant owner would have handled the situation differently if she had recognized Sido, but the dispute escalated further when one of the men threatened to post about the incident on social media. Despite this, the owner is now considering taking legal action against the accusations made by Kallweit.
