“when I see her, I just see the artist”

This is not new, music is a real family affair for many rappers. This is particularly the case with

Youssoupha whose nephews are
Shay et The Pattern. His father was the Congolese legend Tabu Rochereau Law. The latter had many children. With time,
the one who paid a beautiful tribute to La Fouine discovered that he had several dozen brothers and sisters including the mother of
Shay.

Besides, Youssoupha did not fail to share his pride regarding his niece at the microphone of CKO
:

I know their mother, they are smaller, they are my family but I love them. Vanessa [Shay, NDLR] I find it too strong. People often ask me: “do you give him advice?” “. Well frankly it’s not to spoil her, she seriously manages to find herself on her own. Sometimes she calls me for advice. She is intuitive. She found things that even I would not have advised her (…) she knows her karate.

Youssoupha opens up about his relationship with Shay: “when I see her, I just see the artist”

Youssoupha took the opportunity to highlight the great performance and progress of
Shay who has had a string of memorable performances in 2024 between the Olympia and the various concerts at the Zénith in Paris. He continues:

When I see it, I just see the artist. She masters her game. It’s wow. There, she made her Zenith, it was crazy. At the beginning of 2024 she had never done concerts before, she only did a few showcases, she had to work and everything. Being a girl in the industry is a lot of pressure (…) it’s too hard to be a girl. I have the impression that the indulgence we have for a guy who doesn’t rap well, we don’t have for a girl (…) Vanessa I see her life, if she comes a little natural, direct it’s “She’s a filthy person.” I couldn’t.

Talent is truly in their blood!
