24 hours later and Emma’s performance was trending first on YouTube in Germany and has almost 1 million views already, and on Tik Tok, where one of her videos has more than 6 million views.
‘This girl is magical… She showed me how to rap… How can a kid be so cool?… I got goosebumps from head to toe. This girl is better than Eminem’, were just some of the comments.
Emma, who lives in Vienna, has Croatian heritage and will spend this Easter with her grandmother Ana and grandfather Miro in the family house in Vodice, her parents told daily Jutarnji list.
