A BMW, model year 2008, was completely destroyed by fire in Bergen’s central district early Saturday morning. Police responded to the scene, discovering the luxury car fully ablaze.
Ingen er siktet etter brannen, reports VG.
popular Norwegian rapper Kamelen, whose real name is Marcus Kabelo Møll Mosele, has confirmed that the BMW was his. He purchased the car just 24 hours before the fire broke out.
"I bought it for winter driving. It was just a cheap crappy car for ice driving," Kamelen told VG.
Kamelen and a friend were out driving Saturday night when they decided to switch drivers. As they pulled over, smoke began billowing from the glove compartment, and they quickly exited the car.
"Suddenly, it was just ‘puff,’" Kamelen recounted. "It started smelling like shit, too."
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. However, Kamelen has spoken with the repair shop, which suspects a malfunction with the car’s fuse box.
"It’s annoying, but nobody got hurt, that’s the most important thing. Cars can be replaced," said Kamelen, who bought the BMW for 34,000 kroner.
Kamelen is one of Norway’s most recognized artists, with over 372,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. His career gained momentum in 2015 following the release of "Ingenting."
