While the Olympic and Paralympic Games were unanimously praised by the public, athletes, and media around the world, Booba does not share the same opinion and made this known in an interview with Le Parisien. The French rapper strongly criticized the event, which he did not watch, except for breakdancing. And even for the latter sport, he explains that he “a talent agency” and that “one of them won the silver medal (Dany Dann, Editor’s note)” And to add: “Otherwise, nothing! I found it indecent to be interested in the Olympics when there are so many problems, politics, the crisis…”The Duke of Boulogne also attacked the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games: “The Olympic flame was carried by anyone. They destroyed all the values of sport, they even brought back Snoop Dogg, who smokes weed all day long.”
Regarding the opening ceremony and the performance of Aya Nakamura, who performed a medley of her songs and For Me Formidable of Charles Aznavour in the company of the Republican Guard, Booba does not mince his words: “I can’t stand her. I had the misfortune to try to talk to her. I find her haughty, overrated, she has hits but when it comes to writing, it’s sixth grade. And another sixth grader who repeats. She acts like a star, but she doesn’t move anything forward. She never speaks out on anything.”he said.

The rapper also spoke about the Koba LaD case, who was indicted and imprisoned after the fatal accident he caused on September 10. He was notably supported by another artist: Zola. “But they are idiots, we have to cut off their networks! When Koba LaD had his first car accident and hit a lady, I told him to calm down,” explains Booba. I’m not saying that I’m an example, that I haven’t done stupid things, but this generation doesn’t have a father. At the time, we didn’t necessarily have a father, but we had points of reference.”
