The Orelsan-Mbappé affair continues to fuel debate. Rapper Orelsan recently released a track titled The little voicein which he talks about the family of the Madrid player.
“Yeah, you’re going to sink your city like the Mbappé”he said in the audio. A dig to which Kylian Mbappé was quick to respond. “You’re welcome to “save” the city you love so much @Orel_san. 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”the attacker wrote on X.
Two days after the incident, the artist chose to ease tensions, explaining on Saturday that he did not wish to speak further on the subject. “I prefer to think rather than respond directly”Orelsan told West Francefrom Caen where he participated in a signing session. If some see it as a simple marketing stunt around the piece, others evoke a misunderstanding between the two men. This is particularly the point of view of journalist Pia Clemens.
“This is the club that Mbappé sank”
In The Evening Teamthe columnist criticized the reaction of the captain of the Blues.
“The problem with what is happening is that Orelsan is an artist, and Mbappé is not an artist. So Mbappé responds in the first degree to a text. There is a positioning problem to see Mbappé responding at face value to an artistic text”she first explained.
“In addition, what is unbearable is to come and say to the face of the French that Orelsan has no money when it is a fight between millionaires. Someone who doesn’t have money, I can show him some at Kylian, there are plenty in Bondy or Caen”adds the journalist, defending the rapper. “Orelsan is from Normandy, he is from Caen, it’s his city, his club. It’s the club he’s supported since he was little and it’s the club that Mbappé sank. They’re firing people. It’s a reality, the club is in National”concludes Pia Clemens.
