He is also featured on the number-one single "Gamora" by the group Hov1.
Einár was involved in several high-profile incidents, most notably his kidnapping by rival rapper Yasin and a Vårby-based criminal gang in 2020. A week before he was scheduled to testify in a trial connected to his kidnapping, he was shot dead in what police described as an execution-style shooting.
