“The only documentary to watch right now“, “pure genius“, “beautiful documentary“, the reviews of the documentary series on DJ Mehdi, DJ Mehdi: Made in Franceavailable on arte.tv since September 12, are rave reviews. However, the film directed by Thibaut de Longeville, on the late DJ Mehdi, died at the age of 34 after a terrible fallhas found a detractor. Rapper Rohff, also a friend of Mehdi, took to his X account (formerly Twitter) on Monday, September 16 to express his anger. Asked to participate in the documentary, he says he refused and explains why in a long text.
“A report on a deceased friend Dj Mehdi Peace to his soulbegins the 46-year-old rapper. I refused to participate many times… I said NO… I didn’t want to talk about it out of conviction, my refusal is not respected. My image was used to cross boundaries that I myself avoid today out of conviction.” He then mentions the “badboy banders“, who make him look like a thug that we can’t approach while he lives without the slightest security. And reproaches that we use his image.”Worse, the brother is underground, and they still come to devour his meat like lawless vultures for a little money… Their so-called ‘tributes’ from pseudo Best friends without faith or law which in reality only serve to generate clicks, views and above all euros…“, he specifies.
Rohff angry about images used for documentary DJ Mehdi: Made in France
It is Thibault de Longeville, the director and friend of DJ Mehdi, that he also attacks in his diatribe.I told you no, I refuse your interview? Thibaut, aren’t you ashamed, you big, undignified bully? You have so little strength? I told you no! What is not French? Making me look like a fool with a malicious montage towards me forgetting that I am a son, a son-in-law, a husband and a father today“, writes Rohff. It is in the context of images retracing the K-1Fry Mafia that Rohff appears in DJ Mehdi: Made in France. “You thought I was still 20 and that you could use my image as you wished? Ok I understood that this is what you were looking for, to push me into making a mistake by attacking my most cherished principles and values by destroying my image. You’ve had me twice at this game, there won’t be a 3“, continues the interpreter of TDSI. The one who mentions lies about Mehdi’s story, concludes: “And don’t forget to wipe your Hollywood tears for dj Mehdi peace to his soul.“
Many Internet users criticize him for not having participated in the documentary, he who had a key place in it due to his links with the late DJ and producer of French Touch.
