The artist, nominated in two categories, had left doubts about his presence after a former technician from his “Cupidon” tour, which he continues until January, accused him of sexual harassment. According to the complaint, filed on October 29, the facts occurred on the night of December 17 to 18, 2023 after a Slimane concert at the Zénith in Saint-Étienne.

The lawyer of this father, Me Anne-Sophie Charrieras, indicated that her client would then have been the victim of cyberharassment from Slimane through text messages and images “of a sexual or even pornographic nature”. The employee informed his company the next day, which then removed him from this contract and informed Slimane's teams.

Faced with this accusation, the organizers of the NMA questioned the course of the ceremony, Slimane being nominated in two categories this evening: “French-speaking song of the year” for “Mon amour”, and “French-speaking male artist”. Especially since he has a good chance of walking away with one, or even both, prizes, thanks to the song that took him to fourth place in Eurovision last May. This title has also been certified diamond single with more than 50 million streams in France.
According to The Parisianthe NMA organizers ultimately opted for the status quo by asserting the principle of presumption of innocence. “The idea is not to touch anything. He remains presumed innocent, so we don't have to judge him. […] Now, if he decides not to come for one reason or another, that's his choice and we will respect it. We know how to adapt, we have seen others. »
