Victor the Nazi didn’t learn about the Holocaust (we hope)
Sexy Movimiento - Wisin & Yandel ft. “Victor el Nazi”
Signs that your neighbor doesn’t quite grasp the gravity of the Holocaust: the popular reggaeton producer who’s adopted the stage name Victor “el Nasi.” For those of you who don’t habla español, that probably means… Victor “the Nazi.”
Unless, of course, you want to give Victor the benefit of the doubt. In that case, maybe he’s referring to the high-ranking member of the Sanhedrin, the assembly that convened in Temple times. Or perhaps Victor is claiming Jewish roots in tribute to the illustrious Sephardic Nasi family, although the cross in the image to the left makes that a tough sell.
If you’re an anthropologist (or apologist), you might side with the findings of an anonymous “Yahoo! Answers” post claiming that “you’re the nazi/terrorist” is slang for “you’re the s***.”
What’s the proper course of action here? Should we let this one slide, or should we be letter-writing right now?

Why not just confront him on the subject via his agent or publicist?

Hey Jon-Michael. Yes, nasi in modern Hebrew (& usually in Biblical Hebrew) means prince. (See link to the ‘Nasi family’ above.) Follow-up with the publicist is a good idea, but just in case Nasi does mean Nazi in this case, I’m hoping to solicit readers’ suggestions for best way to address this.
