On April 22, Kendji Girac came close to the worst. The 28-year-old artist, known for his warm voice and catchy rhythms, has indeed shot in the chest during a moment of deep distress. In question, an argument with his wife which would have broken the camel’s back.
Emergency hospitalized, the singer miraculously survived and began a long road to reconstruction. Today, he is slowly getting back on track and thanks his loved ones for their unwavering support.
Determined and aware of having gone too far, the interpreter of Mama’s eyes also has apologized to his fans on social networks, but also in song.
On October 4, he unveiled a new album called Vivre. A record in which he asks for forgiveness and celebrates his second chance.
Herbert Léonard cash on the Kendji Girac affair
And Vivre received a warm welcome from many fans, some were unfortunately not convinced by the communication strategy around this project. Among them: Herbert Leonard.
Guest of Jordan de Luxe on the set of At Jordan’s this Tuesday, January 21, 2025, the veteran singer did not mince his words regarding his counterpart.
Although he claims to appreciate “what he does”the artist does not hide his incomprehension in the face of the recent tragedy of Kendji Girac. “I can’t understand how a guy who is as drunk as he was can fall into alcohol, cocaine and, on top of that, shoot himself in the lung.“, he said. “Explain to me why… He had everything to be happy and he did everything he shouldn’t do. Me, personally, apart from cigarettes, I have had no other vice.”
-He would have been better off resolving the issue with his wife rather than apologizing to his fans with a new record – Herbert Leonard
For Herbert Léonard, Kendji’s gesture represents a self-destruction that is as unjustified as it is incomprehensible.
“Was he having problems with his wife to the point of shooting himself in the chest? We can’t put ourselves in his shoes, but it’s a waste. Now he’s trying to make up for it by releasing a new record, but he would have been better off sorting things out with his wife than apologizing to his fans with a new record. (…) I pity him.” A clear opinion!
