In recent days, fans have been watching the adventures of rapper Separ (38), whose real name is Michael Kmeť. After tiring days of tramping and fighting altitude sickness, he succeeded ascent to Mount Everest base camp. People in front of him on the social network took off imaginary hats and congratulated him on his success. At the same time, a huge wave of criticism fell on the rapper.
He documented the adventure in the Himalayas on his Instagram profile and also showed that he left his signature in several places and that’s not all. “At five thousand meters, I decided that the sprays I was lugging here were not going to stay in my backpack,” said the rapper in a video posted on the social network. He then showed the graffiti he created on the spot. You can see the photo in the gallery.
The Slovak rapper’s behavior outraged several mountain lovers. “We love the Himalayas and this shocked and upset us. This is a public figure with half a million Instagram accounts and a huge reach. And everywhere he goes, currently even in Nepal, he “paints” these pigs…” Adam and Káťa from the Hory a svět Instagram profile spoke up.
“Today (Friday) we learned that Separ is in Nepal, who seems to think it’s okay to do his graffiti here as well. The worst part is that he is a person with a huge reach and a lot of fans, who find this okay, and thus extremely strengthens the opinion that this kind of behavior is okay, not only in the Himalayas, but also here at home or in Slovakia.” a couple from the Czech Republic was foaming at the mouth.
Separ defends itself and claims that one house in each village “collects” stickers and signatures of people from all over the world. He called it an attraction. “I don’t know why it bothers you at my place, when everyone who goes there and has a sticker or marker does it. Arguing that it does not belong in the mountains is your point of view. In my opinion, it’s great, it brings those places to life, it’s interesting,” responded the rapper. He also defended the fact that he just covered the inscription that was already there on the stone in the base camp and everyone took pictures next to it.
The verbal exchange did not end there. “Nothing like that belongs in nature, and especially in an area that belongs to UNESCO, and of course there are official rules and the excuses that someone has already drawn something there, or that the guide allowed him to do so, are completely out of the question, because he does not have any such right to do so. The fact that the Everest Base Camp has become a clown for photos next to a painted stone is bad in itself,” Adam pointed out.
The rapper’s behavior also upset world traveler Dorota Nvotová, who has been going to Nepal and the Himalayas for 18 years. “Separ in the Himalayas broke a new low. D*bilism from the Slovak valleys is not only aimed at the Tatra huts, but it is headed straight for the Himalayas. Well, nothing, I’ll be there in a week and I’ll iron Slovakia’s reputation. And when I find it, I’ll take it off. Namaste, you m*gor,” she messaged him in a status.
She reacted sharply in the video, which you can find at the beginning of the article. “What do you have to have in your head to go to the other side of the globe to the Himalayas and have the need to mark the stone you’re walking by like a little dog that’s poking a pole, you coconut. What’s the good for that?” Nvotová does not understand. She knows very well that there are local signatures on the stone, but she added in one breath that it is their country. “But you have to come there from Slovakia and beat the hell out of Separ,” darkened the artist.
She also publicly attacked the rapper presenter of JOJ TV Alena Stračiaková. “Graffiti in cities may have a story, but to dirty the walls in the Himalayas is just arrogance. Where others seek silence, peace and spirituality, someone else a wall to sign their ego. And that’s just shame, not heroism.” the jockey thinks.
