Teen rapper Zah1de inspires Berlin: sold out debut concert!
On Friday, January 2nd, 2026, the 15-year-old rapper Zah1de performed in the Berliner Uber Eats Music Hall and thus gave the starting signal for their first tour of Germany. The concert attracted numerous young fans and their parents, who enthusiastically sang along and cheered. Zah1de was born in Kreuzberg and has Turkish roots, which shapes her extraordinary style and music.
This concert was the first of three sold-out performances, the second follows on Saturday, while Neumünster in Schleswig-Holstein is the next location on the tour schedule. According to the organizer, tickets are still available for the upcoming open-air concerts in the summer. It's hard to believe that Zah1de, real name Zahide Kayaci, only recently entered the music scene with her debut album "Pretty Privilege", which was released in December 2025.
The path to fame
Zah1de gained her fame through viral TikTok videos that she has been publishing since 2023 from the Berlin dance school Lunatix. Her creative dance and lip-sync videos, especially the phrase “zah1de did it better,” contributed significantly to her popularity. The talented youngster has now become impressive 8.5 million followers on TikTok and hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and YouTube.
She signed a contract with Universal Music at the end of 2024 and released the single “Ballert auf lautlos” in January 2025, which reached number 38 in the German charts. Her biggest success to date is the hit “Mona Lisa Motion”, which reached number 9 in February 2025. These successes not only reflect Zah1de's musical talent, but also show how current online trends are integrated into her lyrics.
Career and awards
In 2025, Zah1de was awarded the Bambi in the “Shooting Star” category in Munich - a milestone in her career as she is the youngest solo winner in the history of the award. Despite her huge success, she still manages to pursue her education. Her favorite subjects are ethics and art, which encourages her creative side. Zah1de encourages her fans and peers to believe in themselves and recognize their uniqueness.
On social media, the artist not only has a good knack for viral content, but is also a role model for many young people. Her humor and authentic nature make her a popular face in the music scene. In an interview, she mentions that she does her best in both worlds - in the classroom and on stage - even if she admits that math is not necessarily her favorite subject.
For the fans who were unable to get a ticket for the sold-out concerts, there are already plans for further performances. It remains exciting to see how Zah1de's career will develop and whether she can continue her successful collaboration with the Lunatix dance school, despite occasional tensions in the past. One thing is clear: the fame of this up-and-coming artist will probably remain high for a long time.
