Allan Pineda Lindo, Jr., better known as apl.de.ap (pronounced “Apple D Ap”), is a Filipino-American rapper, record producer, and drummer, best known as member of the Grammy Award-winning group The Black Eyed Peas.
Apl.de.ap is a frequent visitor to the Holy Land. Here he is at the Wall yesterday, Monday August 13, 2012.
Note the kabalistic red string on his wrist and the security man behind him.
No such thing as too much protection.
We’re told he asked to visit the Temple Mount as well, but police feared that his rapping might be misconstrued as a form of non-Muslim prayer by the true owners and operators of the place, the Waqf, and it would start a major riot.
According to David Brinn of the Jpost, the Black Eyed Peas are steeped in Jewish culture. They shout “Mazal tov” in their hit “I Gotta Feeling,” and they performed “Hava Nagila” in concert, making them a favorite with Israeli audiences.
Can’t have too much Jewish scholarship.

That cardboard Kotel Kippa rests on his head very nicely. Kind of reminds me of lucky horseshoes!

A cardboard Kippa that the Kotel issues if you don't have one.
