PS Did you know his real name is Ali Bouali? I always thought he calls himself Ali B. as a protest against the bad image of Morocans in the Netherlands, while it's really because he has a silly name that rhymes
What you have to understand here, is that, ultimately, the family name used to be just the name of a distant ancestor.. So, his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather had a son named Ali, and so, he was known as Bu Ali...
