Depending on what you consider "in the wild" but German rap is very popular in Germany and other German-speaking countries. People from Germany usually don't rap in English or French. Smudo is an old school, but are quite a bit of rapper that are popular right now, like Capital Bra, Apache 207, Samra, Lea, Mero, Loredana, Bushido, Sido, Olexesh, Kollegah, Farid Bang, RAF Camora, ... just on top of my head.
I can understand in the abstract that of course you could rap in German, but it's quite another to encounter evidence of this in the wild so to speak.
Having investigated further, I must say it's probably unfair against Gemany to not include the adjective old in the above statement, as Smudo (or at least the group he's in) is of early 90's vintage.
