Today marks five years since Mad Clip (Peter Anastasopoulos) passed away so suddenly, leaving a profound void in the Greek rap music scene and deep sorrow in the hearts of his loved ones. His death in a car accident shocked the nation and plunged hundreds of thousands of fans into mourning.
Five years later, singer Josephine, who collaborated with the trapper on the hit Fimi (“Fame”), went to the spot where he lost his life, joining fans who had gathered to honor his memory.
“The years have passed, but your ‘Fame’ will never fade. Look how many people are still here for you, Peter. We miss you,” Josephine wrote on Instagram, sharing a video of the crowd that had assembled at the site.
Friends, admirers and people who worked with him gathered in Vouliagmeni on the evening of Tuesday, September 1, to pay tribute as the anniversary arrived.
As a reminder, Mad Clip was killed in a car accident on September 2, 2021, at 2:30 AM, at the intersection of Athinas and Faneromenis Avenues in Vouliagmeni, Attica. He lost control of the Porsche he was driving, struck a lighting pole and then a tree, and was trapped in the wreckage. Firefighters took about two hours to free him. He was only 34 years old.
Born in New York, Mad Clip became one of the defining voices of Greek trap after settling in Greece, releasing albums including Super Trapper and O Amerikanos and scoring hits that still draw crowds to the place where his life ended.
