BOOBA. The two French rappers, Booba and Vald, launched into a gueguerre which annoyed more than one festival-goer, at the Francofolies de La Rochelle.
They ruined the party. French rappers Booba and Vald shone, this weekend, not by their performances on stage, but by their gueguerre. In clash for weeks on social networks against a backdrop of accusations of trafficking in sales figures and listening to platforms, the two artists were scheduled for the same evening, Friday July 15, at the Francofolies de La Rochelle. A promising rap evening, but at risk, which could have ended in a general fight between the teams of each.
The day was marked by attacks on social networks, between Booba and Vald. “Good concert, we want peace, believe me, you don’t want war”, began the first, to which the second replied, “You’re losing the ball, the vioc, it’s you, you promise a slap and (there) you want twice peace in the same tweet, me (I) said nothing nothing done. Vibe. Vald, who was celebrating his 30th birthday that night, posted a snap on Instagram of himself with a cake on the stage steps, claiming to be waiting for his rival, who was scheduled to perform at the same venue.
Posted on the path that Booba was to take with his escort, Vald only increased the pressure. After being ordered to leave the place by the organizers of the Francofolies, they were forced to call in a squadron of CRS, who came to calm things down and secure the area to avoid a fight. Booba will be on stage an hour late and will have left the place behind the CRS cordon, under the insults and whistles of his evening opponent.
Booba comes out of the silence
“What’s sad is for the people who had to wait for me for almost an hour and a half and because it gives a bad image of rap for nothing. Well, we tickled each other on the networks but we didn’t “was not going to do a beating operation in a festival. We came in peace”, however assures Booba in the columns of the Parisian. And to add: “With Vald, I don’t care, I’m teasing, it’s not a real war”, but “if we met, it was a general fight.”
Have we avoided a remix of the sad fight at Orly airport between Booba and Kaaris? No, according to Le Duc, still on borrowed time since this episode. “If there’s a fight, I don’t sing, I lose my money and I go to jail. The calculation is quickly made. And I’m not going to fight for Vald. He’s not my archenemy, not like when I met Kaaris”, explains Booba on a daily basis.
The Friday evening of the Francofolies, which promised to be epic, however, only offered a heartbreaking spectacle to the festival-goers, many of whom were annoyed by the behavior of Booba and Vald.
