Get ready, the long-awaited clash is underway! Booba, our national expert in sharp punchlines, has unleashed the machine gun against Aya Nakamura, with the delicacy of a bulldozer in full sprint. Invited during an interview with Le Parisien, the rapper didn’t settle for a discreet "I don’t like her much." Oh no. Booba opted for the XXL version: he "simply can’t stand" the singer. Atmosphere.
Aya Nakamura, you probably remember, set the stage on fire during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. A feat that propelled her into the spotlight well before her performance. But Booba, with his legendary tenderness, reminded her that she was, according to him, "arrogant and overrated." Politeness? Not his thing.
Let’s be honest, Booba is the king of clashes. His schedule is as packed with disputes as that of a teenager in crisis. Kaaris? Checked. Gims? Checked. Karine Le Marchand? Obviously, check that too! This time, it’s Aya Nakamura‘s turn to be in the crosshairs of the Duke of Boulogne.
Booba doesn’t do things halfway. He readily admits that Aya knows how to produce hits, but slips in a well-calibrated little missile: "In terms of writing, it’s sixth-grade level. And even then, a repeating sixth-grader." Ouch. One can imagine Aya, savoring a kebab, rolling her eyes at this comment of formidable subtlety.
The clash doesn’t stop there. Booba adds another layer by reproaching Aya Nakamura for lacking commitment. According to him, she "acts like a star" but "doesn’t move anything forward." Yet, Aya is not one to let blows pass. She had brilliantly retaliated when far-right activists tried to prevent her from singing at the Olympics. Her response? A delightful tweet: "You can be racist, but not deaf." A point for Aya.
She also took a stand during the 2024 legislative elections, openly calling to "vote against the far-right." Sure, it wasn’t enough to appease Booba, but at least she doesn’t remain passive.
So, why so much animosity? Maybe because Booba loves it. He even confesses with a sly smile, calling himself the "annoying guy at the bar." You know, the guy who comments on everything, absolutely everything, with almost obsessive enthusiasm. The one you’re hesitant to invite to overly quiet dinners.
In this interview, Booba revels in his role as chief disruptor. He admits "not being able to help giving his opinion, especially when it comes to music." After all, even without releasing a new album, Booba is always armed with clashes, ready to unleash them at the slightest opportunity. Just ask.
Whether you love or hate her, Aya Nakamura continues to reign. From the charts to ceremonies, she’s everywhere. Despite Booba’s sharp jabs, nothing seems to stop her. And who knows, one day, Booba might even propose a collaboration? A tête-à-tête dinner? But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. For now, Booba remains true to his role as an acerbic critic. Meanwhile, Aya continues to climb the heights.
So, sit back comfortably, the clash between Booba and Aya is far from over. Get the popcorn, it promises to be delicious.
