  • Users are employing AI tools to recreate the rap scene with various public figures.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir are featured in AI-generated versions of the trend.

A viral rap performance by two Spanish-speaking artists in Madrid has sparked a global trend, with users employing AI tools to recreate the scene featuring various public figures, including Israeli politicians. The original video captured rappers Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai performing a spontaneous Dembow-style rap outside a restaurant, which quickly garnered over 50 million views across digital platforms.

The dynamic between the rappers and their street performance in Madrid became a meme template. Individuals worldwide began using editing software like CapCut and AI generators such as Dreamina to transform static images into animated videos, replicating the rap scene. These creations often feature well-known personalities, celebrities, anime characters, and even personal acquaintances.

The trend has also reached Israel, with AI-generated videos circulating online. These Israeli versions depict Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir performing the same Spanish rap freestyle. What began as a chance encounter on a Madrid street has rapidly evolved into an international phenomenon, now extending into the Israeli political sphere.
