The 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place in Paris, have been the subject of much discussion for months. Only a few weeks before the first test, a new public figure wanted to give his opinion. For the opening ceremony, which will take place on July 26, Aya Nakamura is expected to perform on stage. A choice that has been strongly criticized over the weeks and which also seems to bother a famous DJ. While he did not wish to openly attack the singer, David Guetta, however, expressed his dissatisfaction. In the columns of 20 Minutesthe latter was cash.
David Guetta would have liked to participate in this ceremony and he does not hesitate to let it be known. “Every time I play in France, I experience a special emotion,” he began before continuing: “I’m shaking like it’s my first concert.” Very attached to his country, David Guetta would have appreciated being present for this special event. “If you have the answer, you will give it to me.”, he lamented before continuing: “Because I didn’t understand at all. Globally, I am still between the 4th and 15th most listened to artist in the world, not a DJ artist.”
David Guetta: an artist who doesn’t understand
David Guetta would have liked to cheer up the French for this opening ceremony. However, the choice did not fall on him and, in order to provide clarification, he did not hesitate to openly attack a famous singer. “To give you an idea, Beyoncé must be 40th or 50th,” he said before continuing: “But no one called me. And yet I am French and I love France. It’s like that !”. Should the Olympic Games Organizing Committee have hired David Guetta to open the event?
As indicated 20 Minutesonly around ten people know the exact scenario of the show of this opening ceremony. According to initial information, the show will last 3 hours 45 minutes and will start at 7:30 p.m.. The committee had indicated that the aim was to “break the codes”, particularly since this ceremony was not going to take place in a stadium. On the soundtrack side, musical director Victor Le Masne was called and it should call on registers very well known to the French, in particular Jul, Édith Piaf and Natalie Dessay. An evening that is highly anticipated by sports fans.

The singer then made some very notable comments. “I am known for being perhaps the singer who is closest to the world of sport, and certainly the one who has given the biggest stage performances for fifteen, twenty years now,” did he declare. A very notable speech which earned him numerous criticisms.
The choice of Aya Nakamura surprised more than one and the singer was the subject of many unpleasant messages over the days. She was backed by the Games committee who said they were shocked by what was said on social media. “We were very shocked by the racist attacks targeting Aya Nakamura in recent days. Total support for the most listened to French artist in the world,” we could read. The former Minister of Education, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, declared: “No matter how much we love you, dear Aya Nakamura, don’t care about the whole world”For her part, the main person concerned is concentrating on this ceremony, far from criticism.
