His fans are not about to see him on stage again: sentenced on June 5, 2024 to 10 months in prison and a 10,000 euro fine for acts of “meeting violence” dating back to 2018, the rapper Maes announced on cancellation of his concert scheduled for December 19, 2024 at the Accor Arena in Paris, reports BFMTV.

“Sorry team […] Reimbursement of places tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.,” he simply wrote in the caption of a press clipping relaying the cancellation.
Arrest warrant
Exiled in Dubai “for the sun”, according to his lawyer, the 29-year-old artist must have suspected that returning to France would expose him to immediate arrest. It was also because he had “dried”, in October 2023, a summons to court that the French justice system had issued an arrest warrant against him.
Contacted by Ouest France, the rapper’s entourage also confirms that another concert, scheduled for December 7, 2024 at the Swiss festival The Beat, will also be canceled.

Maes is not in his first trouble with French justice, recalls BFMTV: the author of the hits Greenbacks, Godmother or Avenue Montaigne had already been sentenced, in 2015, to one year in prison for drug trafficking.
