Alisha Lehmann: Controversial German rapper Farid Bang sparks outrage in Switzerland with lewd lyrics about Aston Villa star

Bang's latest single, 'Godfather,' has ignited significant outrage in Switzerland as it explicitly references the Aston Villa star. A line from the song in question states: "I'm not a ball, but between Alisha Lehmann's legs."

This offensive lyric has prompted fury among Swiss football fans, among whom she enjoys extensive support. Despite the controversy, Lehmann, a key player for WSL's Aston Villa, has chosen not to respond to the song.

Bang, known for his provocative lyrics, has a history of stirring controversy. In 2020, he made an anti-Semitic reference in one of his songs which forced him to issue a public apology.
