Ali Bouali, known professionally as Ali B (Riffian-Berber: ⵄⵍⵉ ⴱⵓⵄⵍⵉ, born 16 October 1981), is a Dutch-Moroccan rapper.^[1] He is one of the most well known rappers in the Netherlands^[2]^[3] and he has performed together with Akon and Dutch artist Marco Borsato. In 2007 he made an Arab Remix of Akon's song "Ghetto."

He is seen as a prominent figure in Dutch inter-ethnic relations.^[4]

In 2011 he was given his own television-show for broadcast on TROS -station; Ali B op volle toeren invites young rappers and (established) artists of other genres to make cover-versions of each other songs. From 2013 to 2022, Ali B served as a coach on The Voice of Holland (replacing Roel van Velzen) and The Voice Kids (replacing Nick & Simon). In 2016 Ali B released a single with long-time collaborator Brace and chart-topping reggae-artist Kenny B.

In 2017 he made his acting-debut in the Belgian movie Patser'; the premiere was early 2018.

Personal life

He is married to Breghje Kommers, the half-sister of professional footballer Abel Tamata.^[5]

In January 2022, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service received reports against Ali B for sexually transgressive behaviour, and in one case rape.^[6] This took place while Ali B was working as a judge at The Voice of Holland. YouTube show BOOS episode 'This is the Voice' featured many allegations of sexual misconduct and even rape against Ali B.[1] He has so far denied these allegations.^[7]
