Organized like every year in Cannes, the ceremony of NRJ Music Awards was broadcast live on TF1 on Friday November 1, 2024. That day, many celebrities met on the Croisette to participate in this event. Among the latter, we can notably cite the singer Amir, unfortunate finalist of the third season of The Voice in 2014.
The 40-year-old musician and singer made an impression for two reasons that evening. Firstly, he delivered a performance which will remain engraved in the history of NRJ Music Awardsgiven that he had his head shaved live by dancers while he was in the middle of his song. Second, Amir appeared alongside his wife, Lital Haddad, on the red carpet. The couple took advantage of their time in front of the photographers to reveal the baby bump of the mother-to-bethus formalizing the upcoming birth of their third child.
Amir also announced his partner's new pregnancy in a video broadcast on social networks on NRJ, during which he revealed that her baby will be a little boy. He will soon join his two brothers, the eldest born in February 2019, Mikhaël, and Or, who was born in July 2022.
However, the vocabulary used by the singer during this famous video has provoked the anger of Internet users. Indeed, the latter obviously did not appreciate that the former representative of France at Eurovision used the expression “knocked up”. They also let him know on Instagram. “Knocked up is very classy”, “'Knocked up' beaufitude is…”, “Knocked up ???? Is there a more elegant way to talk about your wife”, “Knocked up is your woman not a piece of meat”, “I'm shocked!! Knocked up!!!! Cardboard singer goes“, “What elegance knocked up”, “Frankly Amir not pretty pretty the language towards your wife”, “Frankly Amir we don't say knocked up it shocks me”, “'Knocked up' weird expression coming from him”they wrote in particular.
Amir: some of his fans come to his rescue on social networks
However, some people also wanted to defend Amir following this controversy. “He says nothing bad, those offended by everything, familiar word that says pregnancy, he doesn't wait until later to be good with his wife… you are so much better ah yes, the perfect beings in the comments“, for example indicated a viewer. “I admit that the hatred in the comments is quite shockingI understand that the term 'knocked up' may shock quite a few of you and that's normal, it sounds a little vulgar, but in the excitement of the announcement and the event, yes, it was perhaps being very excited/stressed and therefore took out the 1st term that came to him. Especially since he was always very respectful.”also wrote another Internet user.
