Joost Klein is going to EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!
The rapper grew up in Britsum, a quiet village in Friesland. His early life wasn't easy. Tragedy struck when he was just twelve, as cancer took his father away. The loss was immense, but it wasn't the end of his challenges. Within a year, he faced another heartbreak when his mother passed away from a heart attack.
Suddenly, Joost found himself an orphan. These early hardships in his life, though incredibly tough, shaped him into the resilient and creative individual he is today.

Recently, Joost Klein stirred up some controversy, and it has been the talk of the town.
He collaborated on a song called “Jackass” with the Russian Village Boys. The lyrics? Well, they were all about his love for Russian women and his dream of marrying them.
But as you know, timing is everything, and this song landed just a month after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
So, not everyone was up in arms about it. There was a bit of a debate starting.
Some people, like a user on X, were jumping to his defense, saying that loving Russia or Russian women doesn't automatically mean you are cheering for the government or their actions. It's like saying if you are into Tolstoy's books or jamming to Tchaikovsky's tunes, you are somehow backing Putin and his Ukraine policy. Not the same thing, right?
Get ready, because he is gearing up to surprise everyone at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden!
Joost, known for his electrifying performances and catchy tunes, has been handpicked from a pool of over 600 hopefuls to represent the Netherlands. That's right, our man is going international, and his fans, both at home and abroad, are buzzing with excitement.
Joost's unique blend of beats and clever lyrics is sure to set the stage on fire. The Eurovision dates are set! The first semi-final will be on May 7, the second on May 9, and the grand finale will be on May 11, all in 2024.
The anticipation is high, and we can't wait to see how Joost rocks the Eurovision stage!
