Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht Defends Move to Dubai on RTL Documentary

He says he relocated to rebuild his finances and protect his privacy, and the broadcast shows concrete living arrangements and the distance to his daughter.

Overview

  • RTL’s free‑TV premiere of season five of the Sky documentary Diese Ochsenknechts on Sunday, July 5, 2026, followed Jimi Blue in Dubai and captured him responding directly to criticism of his relocation.
  • On camera he framed the move as a private decision to ‘rebuild’ financially and to create long‑term security for his daughter while asking others to respect his privacy.
  • The show documents his current living setup in Dubai: a roughly 280 square‑metre villa he shares with business partner Jan Kudrinski and a roughly 50/50 rent split that equals about €2,400 per person.
  • Ochsenknecht acknowledges the geographic distance to his daughter Snow, who lives in Hannover with her mother Yeliz Koc, and says he is not yet financially able to rent a house near her because he is still ‘im Aufbau’.
  • Small practical setbacks shown in the footage, such as delayed furniture deliveries, underline everyday challenges of settling in Dubai and signal that the move will shape how he balances work, money and parenting going forward.
