While some experts certainly suspected the phenomenon that would sweep through France this summer, Léon Marchand has conquered an entire country. A true star of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the athlete, forced to make an unexpected decision recently, left with 4 gold medals and a bronze medal from the Olympiad in his country. Enough to allow him to win the swimmer of the year trophy by the International Swimming Federation a few days ago. Returning to live in Arizona, where he trains all year round, the swimmer is now one of the favorite personalities of the French and despite his life in the United States, he has become essential in the topics of discussion.
Last night, the rapper Booba created the event on Twitch by organizing a live with one of the stars of the platform, the content creator, Pfut. The opportunity for the many fans of the 48-year-old rapper to ask him questions to which he answered with his usual frankness. One of them asks the man who was indicted for aggravated moral harassment last year if he is currently interested in a French athlete. “No, at all. No, but objectively, there is not an athlete that interests me”he says from the outset, before his host mentions Florent Manaudou’s new great friend: “Leon Marchand! He won 82 gold medals”.
Booba not tender with Léon Marchand
A response that doesn’t really seem to appeal to someone who has had a lot of problems with Cyril Hanouna or Maître Gims in recent years. “Go ahead, we don’t care about swimming! It’s like water polo or pétanque”retorts Booba, before Pfut warns him: “No, but stop, Léon Marchand he follows us, he follows us and everything. There, he’s watching live I think.” But once again, the rapper who brought his daughter Luna on stage at the Stade de France a few years ago is not convinced by this argument. “Already, it’s a swimmer called Marchand”he says to close the debate.
Rather accustomed to being praised by supporters and the French media since his exploits at the Paris Olympics last summer, Léon Marchand did not really catch the eye of Booba, who did not hesitate to do so. know.
