With ten albums and thousands of fans, Médine is a figure of French rap. Follower of the polemics, the rapper is known for the violence of his texts: “ Go ahead Youss’, swing the ticket. I put fatwas on the heads of idiots… “. These words in the title Don’t Laik are denounced in particular by its opponents. The rapper also drags several pots, including homophobic remarks and several dumplings, a gesture associated with anti-Semitism.
The deputy Rassemblement national, Laurent Jacobelli, sees in it the sinking of the left: “ By inviting Medina, Europe Écologie-Les Verts and la France insoumise have chosen radicalism, they have turned their backs on republican principles. This left no longer has honor, it is lost. And when we are lost, we do anything. And that is, I believe, what is happening. »
Ecologists and rebels defend themselves, speaking of common fights with the rapper. ” He is a rapper who is committed to anti-racism, to the question of police violence, to the question of social justice, to the rights of minorities, andexplains Thomas Portes, deputy Insoumis. It carries fights on which we find ourselves. We may not agree on everything, but it is important to have a debate of ideas with these personalities. »
” On the right they scared of my speeches, on the left they could use it “, writes the rapper on Twitter (X), in response to the controversy.
“On the right, they are afraid of my speeches, on the left, they could use it”
