“I’m a player”: Booba explains why he clashes with other rappers

Lately, the rapper Booba has multiplied the arm passes with his partners, such as Vald and Rohff. In an interview given to Parisianthe artist explains the reasons that lead him to “collide” with his rivals.

“I’m a gamer, I’ve been that way since I was a kid,” he says. “When I was young, I was a prankster at school. It’s funny. When I’m up against Vald, I have fun. When he announces 74,000 records sold in a week, he does better than Ninho while having no hits on the radio.” that’s all, it must be said. And so I don’t accept injustice.” Booba links this shock wish to a shocking childhood memory of him:

“At the age of 10 I went to Senegal for the first time, to Gorée, I discovered slavery, injustice, racism disgusted me. Also, my mother is white… Shit is the price to pay for that. ‘No pain, no there’s a profit’, as they say in America. I take full responsibility. I respect the game, even if it’s diabolical. I respect the determination.”

“Vald cheats but writes very well”

Booba also returned to his 2018 showdown with Kaaris, marked by a fight at Orly, followed by three weeks in prison.

“I would have left without him, of course, but I took it as an incredible promotion, which I could never have afforded. It made me known everywhere,” he laughs. .

And to add: “We knew [que Kaaris] would be there, we did everything we could to avoid it, because to miss the plane was to miss a concert and a big check. We called him guys… But we were on the same plane. He was lost beforehand.”

These clashes don’t stop the rapper from finding several of his very talented peers. “Objectively Orelsan, even if it’s not my thing, even Vald. He cheats but he writes very well. […] Like the first Damso. The second verse of Paris is far, it’s wow! Ninho is strong, Gazo works well, he rules in terms of rap. NLP, but he’s like a great player who never plays.”

Even Bigflo and Oli, who just released a song called bubafinds favor in their eyes: “It’s always flattering. And I really liked their approach, their respect for my character. They do something else, but they do it well…”.
