Slimane, targeted by a harassment complaint made public this week, was present this Friday evening at the NRJ Music Awards. He sang his song live My lovethat he ended up overwhelmed by emotion.
A few minutes later, he was called on stage to receive, for the second year in a row, the NMA for Male Artist of the Year. As his name was announced, he put his head in his hands, then stood up and hugged his team.
“Thank you for being there”
On stage, he appeared very emotional: “ I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart… this one is a bit special “. He warmly thanked his audience “ to be there, to be there in the street, to be there in the concerts. » He then could not hold back his tears as he addressed his daughter: “ When you grow up, I really hope you will be proud of your dad. » He then thanked his parents.
In the context of a week where a lot of things have come out in the press about him and where his version of the facts of which he is accused has not yet been officially given, his speech was expected. It was short and marked by emotion. In the public, the welcome was warm, the artist was very applauded and the first rows chanted his first name.
An air of déjà vu
On the women's side too, last year's results were repeated, but in a more serene context. Vitaa was once again chosen by the public to receive the NMA Female Artist of the Year trophy. She thanked the public at length for their loyalty, while she celebrated her 20th career and her album Charlotte should be the last. With emotion, she said she was surprised that her songs were still in the hearts of the public, to the point that in concerts people sang in songs “ written in 2003! ».
