His life turned upside down on Friday September 29, 2023, when when he got out of bed, he found himself facing a wall, locked in dark thoughts, with the desire to put an end to it. It was a little after 11 a.m. when the news broke: an OGC Nice player threatened to commit suicide. It is Alexis Beka Beka, then aged 22, who, hanging from the Magnan viaduct, expresses his discomfort without this having any link with a romantic breakup, as the first rumors suppose. After hours of anguish, he will escape the worst.
Since that stifling morning, the man nicknamed “BK” by his loved ones has been on the mend. Step by step, without rushing things. Far from football at first, he tries to rebuild himself and puts words to what happened. He immediately found comfort with his family and friends, whom he found in Caen where he still lives today in his small apartment in the city center.
