The tweet posted Sunday evening on Kylian Mbappé’s account surprised many people and continues to get people talking. In response to rapper Orelsan, who had scratched the Real Madrid star and his involvement in the Stade Malherbe club in Caen, the captain of the France team replied: “You’re 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. »

A dry message, unusual in tone and form, which raised a question among many Internet users: what if Mbappé was not really the author? On social networks, several members of

This turn of phrase, very “70s-80s generation”, evokes more the vocabulary of a forty- or fifty-year-old. Some do not hesitate to assert that this would correspond more to the vocabulary of his mother and representative, Fayza Lamari, sometimes suspected of taking care of her son’s social networks, sometimes directly, but also of having alternative accounts to ensure the defense of the Madrilenian.

A misunderstanding of the piece?

She has been managing her son’s business and image for a long time, not hesitating to speak out, directly or indirectly, when she feels that her son is being targeted. However, in his last piece, Orelsan evokes the affairs of Kylian Mbappé, shareholder of Caen, which goes beyond the usual framework of the former Parisian. Some observers therefore consider it plausible that she, or another member of the 2018 world champion’s entourage, reacted under Kylian Mbappé’s official account.

It should also be remembered that the rapper’s words were largely misinterpreted by the author of the post, whoever he may be. In the title in question, Orelsan gives voice to an inner voice, a recurring process for him, intended to mock his own cynical thoughts rather than to directly attack anyone.

Basically, whether it was an impulsive tweet from Kylian Mbappé or a protective reaction from a member of his circle, this episode shows to what extent the image of the Mbappé clan has become a collective affair. And in an age where every word carries weight, even 280 characters can open a debate… about who’s really holding the keyboard.
