This Friday, “The Flight Forward”, Orelsan’s fifth studio album, was released. On this new project is the title “La petite voix”.
A piece in which the 43-year-old rapper castigates the Mbappé clan. “Don’t pretend to love your city, it’s ruined. She is dead, that’s why we call you Caennais. It’s full of rednecks you can’t even beat. Yeah, you’re going to sink your city like the Mbappé”says the Norman artist in the only verse included in this piece.
Known to be a supporter of Stade Malherbe, Orelsan obviously refers to the management of this club by the family of the Real Madrid striker. Indeed, the buyout of the shares previously held by Oaktree was carried out last year by Coalition Capital, the investment fund belonging to the Bondy prodigy.
Mbappé, his scathing response to Orelsan
The former Paris Saint-Germain player was quick to respond to this barb. “You are welcome to ‘save’ the city you love so much, Orelsan. PS: The guy just begged us to enter with 1% without paying because he doesn’t have any money, but to have the good image of the little guy from Normandy”wrote the European Golden Shoe on X.
Orelsan was born in Alençon, in the Normandy region. His family moved to Caen in 1998. It is this last town that he has always chosen to “represent” in his texts, since the 2000s.
