It was a press conference which was widely commented on. On the night of Sunday April 21 to Monday April 22, 2024, Kendji Girac was seriously injured by gunfire. The singer first mentioned a domestic accident before, subsequently, indicating that he had faked a suicide to make his partner Soraya react. Reassuring news concerning him was quickly given but it was Olivier Janson’s press conference which was at the center of attention. During this, the prosecutor revealed very unexpected details about the private life of Kendji Girac. He mentioned his relationship problems but also mentioned the alcohol and drugs that the artist had been using for several months.
On social networks, Internet users expressed their dissatisfaction with this media coverage. An opinion shared by Keen’V who spoke on the show In complete privacy this Monday, May 13. Faced with Sam Zirah, the singer made very blunt remarks. “I think that the prosecutor did his job and that we cannot blame him for anything in that regard,” Keen’V first confided.

By trying to support him so that he can get better”.
Kendji Girac affair: Keen’V’s update on the press conference
The private life of Kendji Girac was publicly revealed during this press conference. Very unexpected details were given and they immediately made Keen’V react. “If he had become an alcoholic and was addicted to cocaine, I’m not sure that exposing him to the general public would help him much.” , he assured. Keen’V then clarified: “That is to say, I don’t think that we become alcoholics or drug addicts because we are psychologically well.” An opinion that seems to be shared by many people.
Keen’V, who admits to not knowing Kendji Girac personally, nevertheless remembers evenings spent in his company. “Kendji is not that image at all. He is a very kind, smiling, caring person. I spent a few evenings with him… I don’t feel like he’s being portrayed as the person I know.”, he explains. So, for the singer, the most logical thing was to help the person concerned, not to flaunt his private life. “I think we could have tried to preserve him by perhaps trying to support him to be able to get better,” he declared before lamenting: “The fact of having spread this over his life, I’m not sure that it helps him greatly. I’m not sure it’ll help him get back on track either.”.
Keen’V: “I don’t see how this concerns us”
Keen’V had things to say regarding this matter and he did not hesitate to make it known. Facing Sam Zirah, the singer deplored the fact that Kendji Girac’s private life had been exposed in the media. “In fact it bothers me because we give meat to the vultures on someone who is sad,” he said before continuing: “And the fact that Soraya wants to separate from him, that he blackmailed her all that, I don’t see how that concerns us.”
For Keen’V, exposing Kendji Girac’s private life was not necessary. “I don’t see how this tarnishes his image as a singer”, he continued. According to information from the prosecutor, only the young man was injured during this evening. “He did not harm his wife or his daughter. Worst case scenario, he hurt himself,” continued Keen’V who then asked: “Should the fact that he is sad stop us from listening to him?” The interpreter of Outet concludes his speech by saying: “I am not sure. No, for me it is necessary to help him. I hope we will always support him”. As a reminder, Vianney, who is very close to Kendji Girac, defended his friend following the press conference, deploring this media coverage.
