“Everything has been put on the table”, the organizers in doubt regarding the arrival of Slimane

Slimane is in turmoil. Like many other personalities before him, including Gérard Depardieu who must soon be judged while Nicolas Bedos has just been sentenced, the singer is accused of his apparently inappropriate behavior. This is what a technician from the Cupidon Tourthe artist's Dantesque spectacle currently on the road. He claims to be a victim of sexual harassment and claims to have proof. The facts date back to December 2023 and are even the subject of a complaint according to our colleagues at Parisianwhich suggest that other similar stories would have affected the tour VersuS that Slimane had brought to fruition with Vitaa some time ago.

Never mind! Slimane does not intend to remain silent while justice does its work. On the front of the stage, the singer who is preparing for an international tour which will lead him to perform as far as the United States and Canada at the very beginning of next year has arrived at Cannes to participate in the NRJ Music Awards.

Slimane arrived on La Croisette

Despite the media pressure and the numerous comments to his attention that we can read on social networks, the interpreter of The recipe will indeed perform on Friday November 1st on the occasion of the 26th musical ceremony broadcast live on TF1. Slimane had very early confirmed that he would be there, given the fact that he is nominated in two categories – Male Artist of the Year and Song of the Year (My love) -, and made it known that subscribers would not be absent despite the unfavorable context.

Yet, The Parisian makes it known that the production of the event and the first channel as well as the radio NRJ hesitated to maintain the invitation. “Over the last 72 hours, everything has been put on the table: do nothing, record his performance in advance, cancel his appearance or even withdraw his two nominations”reports the editorial staff of the daily, which plunged the organizers into a situation “unpublished” and forcing them to “multiply telephone appointments” to find the right solution. A source also confided: “The idea is not to touch anything. He remains presumed innocentSO we don't have to judge him“. “Now, if he decides not to come for one reason or another, it’s his choice and we will respect it. We know how to adapt, we have seen others…”we specify. But we already know that Slimane has indeed landed in the south of France…

Which artists on the NRJ Music Awards stage?

Slimane has already participated on several occasions at the NRJ Music Awards ceremony. He is also one of the most awarded artists after Matt Pokora, undisputed leader, Jenifer, Ed Sheeran and Mylène Farmer. In 2023, he already left with two trophies including that of French-speaking male artist of the year and French-speaking collaboration of the year with At your placein duet with Claudio Capéo. In the first category, he is in the running this year against GIMS, David Guetta and Amir who has just published a brand new intimate album.

The NRJ Music Awards ceremony can count on the presence of a good number of other stars, such as Santawhose tube Start me again is taken up collegially by the students of the Star Academy to make it their official anthem. The group Indochina who is about to hit the road again with the album Babylon Babylon in your pocket, just like Clara Luciani, Louane, Yseult, Vitaa or even Kendji Girac will also be there, and the American artist Billie Eilish should occur in duplex.
