The rest after the ad
It's been eight years since Amine Mojito published anything, and we can't say that we really missed him. Remember, in the mid-2010s, Illan Magneron, his real name, created a buzz on social networks – notably Snapchat and Périscope – with videos that were problematic to say the least. He filmed himself whipping women with belts and other humiliating practices. Degrading videos with thousands of views which earned him a complaint from the Feminist Collective Against Rape (CFCV) in 2016.

Although he has since disappeared from social networks, Amine Mojito – against whom none of the women appearing in the videos has filed a complaint – has not escaped justice. After six years of legal proceedings, he was convicted in 2021 for provoking discrimination, violence and hatred against a group of people based on their sex. His sentence: complete a five-day awareness training course on gender equality.
“It looks like a nightmare“
Monday November 25, Amine Mojito made its unexpected return to Snapchat. On his account, he shared a video beginning with a text: “In a distant time, a generation witnessed the birth of a legend, its name still resonates…” After a series of photos and videos dating from the mid-2010s that created a buzz, followed by images of two women in underwear dancing around a coffin. Coffin from which Amine Mojito eventually emerged, in leopard print underwear After a few dance steps and a few acrobatics, the video ends with a close-up of his face, in voice-over: “The legend is not dead, it is eternal, the king is back.“As a reminder, the influencer with thousands of subscribers and numerous detractors was nicknamed by his admirers”king of snapchat“.
