What happens to Slimane? If he remains one of the most popular artists of the moment as evidenced by the success of his best-of “Essentiels”, one of the best-selling albums of 2024, the singer’s image has been damaged in recent months. Indeed, the interpreter of “The recipe” was accused of sexual harassment, a few days apart, by two technicians from his tour, for two cases which allegedly occurred the same evening following a concert given in Saint-Etienne , December 17, 2023. The singer has never spoken publicly about these accusations but they cast a chill over the end of his year, he who still continued his “Cupid Tour” tour, joined Vitaa during his concert in Bercy and even received the trophy for French-speaking male artist of the year at the last NRJ Music Awards thanks to public votes.

“You don’t like him?”
If the case has not seen any developments for several weeks, Nagui implicitly mentioned it on television. During a new number of “N’ Forget the Lyrics”, broadcast this Monday, December 30 on France 2, Maestro Benoît had the choice between “Nuit sauvage”, the 80s hit from the group Les Avions, and “Paname “, Slimane’s first success. Except that when an extract of the title was broadcast on the set, Nagui was quick to interrupt with a “ That’s enough! “. Surprised, Benoît then asked him “ Don’t you like it? “, to which the host reacted, in reference to the affair: ” We’ll let others decide what to think “. A few seconds of discomfort floated on the set of “Don’t forget the lyrics”. However, the candidate still decided to choose, and therefore to sing, “Paname”. “ Very good, when it’s you who sing it that suits me… » concluded Nagui. Fortunately, the presenter did not interrupt Benoit’s performance, who managed to find the nine missing words and therefore glean valuable points allowing him to retain his place as Maestro.
