At first glance, Bushido and Steinmeier don’t have much in common. Neither does the second. Nevertheless, the rapper appoints the Federal President as the honorary godfather of his triplet daughters Leonora, Naima and Amaya. Why? Because he can.
Special day for the triplets Leonora, Naima and Amaya: The three youngest children of Bushido and Anna-Maria Ferchichi now have Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier as their godparents. “Today the Federal President took over the honorary sponsorship of our triplets,” wrote the rapper in an Instagram story. He showed one of the three documents signed by Steinmeier in a photo.
“We are very happy about the honorary sponsorship, because the Federal President represents a completely different level, with which you hardly have any interfaces as a citizen,” explained his wife Anna-Maria Ferchichi to the RTL broadcaster in a statement. “It fills us with pride that our triplets each have a certificate from the head of state. It has a high emotional value for us.”
The family received “no extra treatment”, as the 40-year-old emphasizes in an Instagram story. Because the Federal President takes on the honorary sponsorship for the seventh child in a family if the parents request this. “The honorary sponsorship is primarily of a symbolic nature. It cannot be compared with the sponsorship for a baptism,” says the Federal President’s official website.
“We had to submit the application officially and very bureaucratically and have met all the requirements,” says Anna-Maria Ferchichi RTL. The godfather gift, according to the family 1500 euros, was donated by the Ferchichis. Last year, the Federal President took on 414 honorary sponsorships, since 1949 there have been a total of around 82,100. The honorary sponsorship emphasizes “the special importance that families and children have for our community” and should “help to strengthen the social prestige of families with many children “.
The triplets Leonora, Naima and Amaya were born on November 11, 2021. Bushido and Anna-Maria Ferchichi previously had four children together, including twins. She brought a son into the marriage. The two have been married since 2012.
