Slimane has been experiencing many problems for some time. What he wanted to talk about in the show En Aparté.
Slimane is making a lot of noise at the moment. The singer is in fact accused by one of his technicians of
sexual harassment. A complaint against him was also filed by this sound engineer. According to the alleged victim, Slimane would have blocked him against a wall and
“imposed a hug”. Heavy accusations for the artist who is also faced with other personal problems.
Slimane opens up like never before
Slimane has had a string of successes, but also struggles since he made himself known by participating in the show The Voice. Passing through the show En Aparté in October 2022, the singer spoke in complete privacy. He actually mentioned his very complicated relationship with his body. “In three images, we see three different Slimanes”, he reacted to the images of him displayed on the screen. Slimane then distinguished each of his photos. To begin with, there is “the one who was very thin on The Voice. The one who was fat at the Olympia, and the one who is in between today”. Vitaa's sidekick has always talked about his weight without tongue in cheek. “This weight thing is something that follows me and will follow me until I’m very, very old”he said.
A complicated adolescence
Still on the set of En Aparté, Slimane admitted to having been “traumatized“by its weight. A complex he has had since a very young age. “As a child, it was complicated for me, especially as a teenager”he added. The singer, whose roommate was murdered, even suffered from gynecomastia during his teenage years. “With my long eyelashes and the beginnings of breasts, I looked like a girl,” he indicated, not without emotion. Slimane continued, evoking the mockery of his comrades towards him. “I have a memory at the swimming pool, where one day, a grown-up said to me: 'But this is not the girls' locker room here. And these are things that mark you and that manage your whole relationship a little. to others”he confided.
Complexes evoked in song
Slimane has always been very marked by his physical appearance. Fortunately, he manages to express himself and convey messages through music. In 2019, while he was a guest on RTL, the singer revealed one of his songs which particularly touches him. “For example, there is a song: Not Beautiful, where I talk about the fact that I feel fat, that I have a problem with the mirror”he confided. Then add:
“That’s something I would never have said on a solo album.” A duet title with Vitaa, in which they evoke many complexes, while remembering however that they are beautiful.
