Singer Slimane, targeted by a complaint for sexual harassment filed by a technician on one of his tours, won the trophy for French-speaking male artist at the NRJ Music Awards on Friday evening.
This price “has a special taste”recognized Slimane after winning his prize. “My daughter, when you grow up I really hope that you will be proud of your dad. (…) To my audience, sorry, from a human to many other human beings, thank you from the bottom of my heart”he added, very moved.
This was her first public appearance since the revelation by Le Parisien of a complaint from a lawyer representing a technician who claims “having been the victim of sexual harassment (…) in December 2023, during a concert at the Zénith in Saint-Etienne”according to the Saint-Etienne public prosecutor’s office.
The latter indicated to AFP on Tuesday that he was “waiting for evidence, in the form of various recordings, which this lawyer has announced she has and must send (to her)”to decide on the possible opening of a preliminary investigation.
The prize for the French-speaking female artist went to Vitaa, that of the best group in Indochina, and Pierre Garnier, revealed in the Star Academy, won two titles (French-speaking revelation and best song for “Ceux qu’on été”), at the end of this ceremony in Cannes.
Belgium was well represented by Helena Bailly, winner of the Belgian Revelation trophy and nominated for Francophone Revelation.
Belgian-Moroccan singer Dystinct was also in the running for the Francophone Collaboration of the Year award alongside Gims.
