Fler was born on 3 April 1982 as Patrick Decker. He and his mom were left by his father when he was five, and has started having problems in school, not because of his marks, but because of his behaviour. He has been accused of nationalist views, because of his lyrics in songs like "Neue Deutsche Welle" (New German Wave ) and "Das hier ist schwarz, rot, gold - hart und stolz" (This is black, red, gold (colors of the Flag of Germany) - hard and proud), which some claim have fascist themes, although Fler has denied being fascist.
