A CRS cordon was deployed Friday night at the Francofolies de La Rochelle, to prevent any encounter between Booba and Vald, who have rubbed shoulders since this winter on social networks.
Act I: Vald, sitting in the back of a van, with his escort, takes selfies with his fans, behind the big stage, on the way Booba must take to get there. However, since this winter tension has increased on social media between Booba and Vald, two big rap sellers, against a backdrop of accusations of inflated listening numbers on music platforms.
The festival management encouraged Vald to look elsewhere, which he did. So, a cordon of thirty CRS was deployed there to ensure the arrival of Booba, who finally arrived more than an hour late on stage (after midnight instead of 11 at night). Vald was on the main stage at the Francofolies at 7:45 p.m.
Act II: Vald was back, with his followers, to boo Booba’s truck when he left at 2 am, behind the CRS cordon.
There is no remake of the fight at Orly in 2018
The police device made it possible to avoid a remake of the famous general fight in which Booba, and another rap rival, Kaaris, had been protagonists at Orly airport in 2018.
All day Friday, Booba and Vald had been looking for each other on social media. “Good concert, we want peace, believe me, you don’t want war,” Booba began. “You lose the ball, you see it, it’s you, you promise a slap and (there) you want peace twice in the same tweet, I (I) didn’t say anything, I didn’t do anything,” Valdés replied.
Vald, who celebrated his 30th birthday on the Francofolies stage – receiving cake with candles during his concert – appeared during his show with around thirty companions around him. “Remember it’s my first part, huh. You can send your slaves back, we don’t want to hurt you,” Booba joked on Twitter seeing the images of all these relatives – some bodybuilders – around Vald. Vald then posted on Instagram a photo of him lying on a deckchair, with his cake, at the foot of the stage, appearing to be waiting for Booba.
“You didn’t pay, but you can enjoy it anyway”
Arriving on stage at night, Booba couldn’t help but throw swords at Vald, mocking the microphone of the people around him “recruited in Fitness Park” (complex of sports halls). Booba continues to have the same sense of retort, also joking about these La Rochelleans who attend Francos’ concerts from the balconies of their neighboring apartments.
“Well, you, on the balconies, have not paid, but you can still enjoy it,” launched the nicknamed the Duke of Boulogne.
