After a 25-year career, Booba will perform for the first time this Saturday, September 3, on the Stade de France stage, during a unique sold-out concert. If this Parisian show is eagerly awaited by the rapper’s fans, some fear they will never see his favorite artist on stage again.
Since the 2021 release of his album, Ultra – he announced last – In fact, Booba has repeated several times that he intended to retire. Although this show at the Stade de France has a farewell flavor, the artist tried to reassure the public about him, in an interview with the youtuber. The dirty chronicler.
“Wait a minute, we have to hang up our gloves. I’m not saying that I won’t do more concerts afterwards, but I don’t know if I’ll do several. If this happens, incha’allah, it may be the first and last time you see me at the Stade de France,” she explains in the interview broadcast on YouTube.
“I was thinking of quitting at 30 already”
If in July he declared “retiring” and “leaving the throne” to other artists, Booba continues to produce singles and chain collaborations. Aware that the end of his career is near, the rapper does not close the door to other musical projects.
“I can say ‘I quit’, tomorrow I open my email, I get a sound, I have an inspiration and I write. As I get there, I am inspired and I know it because with experience, I am an art director now, when I do something more or less well I thought about quitting when I was already 30 years old,” Booba told Chroniqueur Sale.
It must be said that in addition to his career as an artist, Booba has many other covers. A talented producer, the rapper is at the helm of his 92i label, but also of the African branch 92i Africa launched in 2021 to promote African air artists. It is also his colts SDM and Green Montana who will secure the first part of him at the Stade de France.
Parallel to the music, Booba is also working on the series. Ourika. This new creation from Prime Video, described as an “urban western”, will tell the story of the confrontation between a drug dealer and a policeman of a younger generation during the Paris riots in 2005.
“We are in full casting. It is supposed to come out, if all goes well, in 2023. Filming would start at the end of the year, at the beginning of 2023”, specifies Booba.
Finally the rapper has embarked on a real crusade against influencers. Placing himself in the role of “whistleblower”, he intends to denounce the business of influencers on social networks.
“Beyond having no talent, promoting the culture of emptiness, weakness and not paying their taxes in France, they deceive citizens (especially teenagers) by selling them crap,” he told Release last July.
It is not the vigilante Booba, but the rapper who will take the stage at the Stade de France this Saturday, to the delight of fans.
