• Denis Cuspert, also known by artist name Deso Dogg, used to rap in Berlin
• Believed to have produced films of Jihadi John beheading British hostages

A German rapper dubbed ‘the Goebbels of ISIS‘ who publicly threatened President Barack Obama has been killed in a U.S. air strike in Syria.

Denis Cuspert, also known by his artist name Deso Dogg, used to rap in Berlin and was one of the most high-profile Western fighters for the Islamic State.

His role making videos for the terror group has been likened to that of Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels.

He is also believed to have produced the sickening footage of Jihadi John beheading British and US prisoners with a knife.

U.S. Defense Department spokeswoman Elissa Smith confirmed the 39-year-old was killed in an air strike on October 16 near the Syrian city of Raqqa.

Cuspert joined ISIS in 2012 and went on to appear in numerous videos from the militant group, including one in November last year ‘in which he appears holding a severed head he claims belongs to a man executed for opposing ISIL’, the State Department previously said.
