This was undoubtedly the most anticipated artist of this Friday, November 1, 2024. Indeed, doubt remained as to the presence of Slimane at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes. Particularly because of the accusation of sexual harassment against him revealed by our colleagues at Parisian in the week.
We finally had to wait almost 9 p.m. to discover it on the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals. Indeed, the interpreter of My love is indeed present at the event. And decided to arrive in the company of his sidekick, with whom he collaborated for many years: Vitaa.
Slimane present at the NRJ Music Awards
For the occasion, Slimane pulled out all the stops. Dressed in black and ultra-stylish, almost reminiscent of a pharaoh, the winner of The Voice appears all smiles in the company of the 41-year-old singer. He will thus be able to put on the show on stage as had been planned for several weeks. Our colleagues from France 3 Azur had also revealed that Esmeralda's father had been seen during rehearsals this Thursday, October 31 in the afternoon.
On top of that, the 35-year-old singer will perhaps win a few more trophies. Already have 8 NRJ Music Awardsthe interpreter of My love competes in two categories this Friday evening. Indeed, he is named in the category French song of the year et French-speaking male artist.
The singer, accused of sexual harassment
It remains to be seen whether the controversy that arose during the week will harm him from winning an Award. As a reminder, our colleagues from Parisian revealed this week that Slimane is the subject of a complaint from a technician who collaborated on his tour Cupidon Tour.
The alleged victim accuses the singer of 35 of sexual harassment against him. As the crews dismantled the scene, Vitaa's sidekick would then “blocked against a wall” the technician before him “impose an embrace” according to his words. Following this, Slimane would then have expressed his desire to have a sexual relationship with the alleged victim.
Presumed innocent, the interpreter of My love completely denies the facts with which he is accused. Those around him, for their part, evoke a “crazy story”.
