Ahmed Ben Ahmed (Arabic: أحمد بن أحمد) (born 17 March 1991 in Tunis),[1] better known by his stage name Klay BBJ, is a Tunisian rapper, known internationally as a result of multiple legal problems for insulting a public servant,[2] alleged “consumption of narcotics”,[3] and continued criticism of authority figures, especially the police.

[4] Le Monde diplomatique said that his continuing legal problems suggest a notable gap between the behaviors of Tunisian legal authorities and the official commitment under Article 31 of the Tunisian Constitution of 2014 that, “Freedom of opinion, thought, expression, information and publication shall be guaranteed.

These freedoms shall not be subject to prior censorship, and he is still considered a legend in the Tunisian rap industry.”[5] Klay BBJ and fellow rapper Weld El 15 were jailed at least twice for performing a song, "The Police are Dogs".

[4] Le Monde diplomatique also reported that the Tunisian police have a strong union and continue to abuse their power.

Klay BBJ was quoted as saying he thought this was part of a police effort to influence procedures being considered by the Tunisian legislature regarding resistance against the armed forces.
