Ewa Malanda (formerly Ewa Müller; born 16 July 1984), known under her stage name Schwesta Ewa, is a Polish rapper in the German music scene.
Ewa's family was stranded in Germany while en route to the United States when she was a child.[1] She rose to fame in Frankfurt, where she originally moved in order to work as a prostitute.[1] While working, she met the rapper Xatar, who signed her to his record label, and her first album, Kurwa, reached number 11 on the German album chart.[2]
In November 2016, Ewa was arrested and later convicted of bodily harm, abuse of minors and tax violations in connection with the prostitution of five of her fans, some of whom were underage.[3][4] She was released in February 2021.[5]
