Prosecutors Seek 7-Month Term for Rapper Kempi Over Death Threats, Gun Charge and Coercion

The Hague court set March 31 for a verdict following a hearing on alleged threats, firearm possession and reproductive coercion.

Overview

  • Prosecutors requested seven months in prison and a three-year contact ban that includes online communications, citing what they called very serious threats to the woman and her unborn child.
  • Case files and court reporting describe messages and voicenotes with a death threat tied to abortion, an alleged attempt to force a parenting agreement, and clinic notes indicating no abortion was performed.
  • The alleged victim told the court she was held on November 4–5, 2024, faced a firearm, and injured herself to escape, framing the pattern as manipulation and intimidation that left her fearing for her life.
  • Kempi acknowledged making threats as anger outbursts and said he feels set up, while a friend testified he secretly left a pistol at the home; the prosecutor cited DNA linking the weapon to the rapper and dismissed the witness account as not credible.
  • Police intervened after tensions flared between supporters outside the courthouse, and the court scheduled its ruling for March 31.
