Iranian Rapper Shahin Najafi has been forced into hiding after Iranian clerics

According to The Independent, Najafi’s latest single “Naqi” — named after Ali an-Naqi, an important imam to Shia muslims — was released on May 7. The song itself satirizes the current Tehran regime and calls for the the Islamic cleric to save Iran.
