While he received yet another trophy in this year 2024, Antoine Dupont was treated to an unexpected surprise: a text from rapper Oli to him. And suffice to say that the artist and brother of Bigflo gave a very personal tone to his words, as usual. Enough to reveal more than usual about the rugby player, and embarrass him somewhat!
A new day, a new trophy. With the wind still in its sails, Antoine Dupont was recently awarded the World Oscar at the 71st edition of the Midi Olympique Oscars. Something to delight him, obviously:
Yes, it’s always nice and it also proves that I can maintain my level of performance. More generally, this kind of trophy allows me above all to remember the trophies of the season with the Stade Toulouse or the French 7s team. This year, 2024, it was nothing but happiness.
Oli’s rap for Antoine Dupont
But if he probably expected to receive the distinction, Dupont was taken by surprise when his friend, the rapper Oli of Bigflo et Oli, took the stage to dedicate a very personal rap to him which began as follows:
Everyone talks about Dupont, I wanted to talk about Antoine… Damn, it’s never easy to write rhymes for a friend. Besides, I know him, he will be embarrassed in front of others. Being Antoine Dupont’s friend isn’t easy when I think about it. It’s having to keep my t-shirt on when he takes it off on the beach on vacation. It’s showing off at home by showing him my Victoires de la Musique, when he humbly reminds you that he is an Olympic medalist.

In the rest of his text, Bigflo even allowed himself a little prank on the jealously guarded private life of the Stade Toulousain star. His reference to Antoine Dupont’s romantic breakup somewhat embarrassed the main person concerned:
With Antoine, we talk about his heartache and the difficult choices he has to make. There is Dupont the champion, and Antoine the bachelor.
But beyond this obviously anecdotal passage, the handler of words that is Bigflo has above all finished paying a very nice tribute to his friend. With the added bonus of a reference to the magical course in which the scrum half took part during the Olympic Games, and another to the famous cheekbone injury last fall:
Antoine, he moans. He is indecisive, modest, sensitive and honest. Dupont, it doesn’t even look like he’s in any pain when he hurts his cheekbone. He remains true to himself, his roots always in his soil; from the Louis Vuitton fashion show to the Castelnau cassoulet. We asked him for the moon, he even brought back the stars – everyone talks about Dupont, I wanted to talk about Antoine. Well done bro!
Flagships of Toulouse excellence, each in their own way, Antoine Dupont and the duo formed by Bigflo and Oli never stop flying the colors of the pink city with class, taste and intelligence. No wonder then that everyone gets along well, to the point of sharing the few heartaches that inevitably mark a life!
