Many Instagramers refer to the singer’s private life, who is not only with family disputefor …. As well Headlines because of his little daughter Snow cared. “Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht (fitting in the role of Judas) takes part in the Passion, which is about Jesus and charity, but can’t even be a father to his daughter. The irony speaks volumes,” commented user @llesfuerwerder on X .
