The announcement of his arrival, after a particularly eventful week for him, had the effect of a bomb. And for good reason… This Friday, November 1, Slimane was present on the scene of NRJ Music Awards 2024 in Cannes. The former candidate of The Voicewho has now become a successful artist, saw, during the week, a former technician file a complaint against him for sexual harassment.
This complaint was a real explosion around Slimane who, until his appearance on the set of NRJ Music Awards 2024had given no sign of life. However, this silence came to an end this Saturday, November 2. On his Instagram account, Slimane (finally) spoke after his victory in the category of French-speaking male artist of the year.
Targeted by a complaint, Slimane comes out of silence
Hiding in silence can be a refuge, but this practice also has its limits. Letting others speak for you is never a big help, especially in a case like the one Slimane has been experiencing for several days. Indeed, the French singer is the subject of a complaint filed by one of its former technicians. He attacks Slimane for acts of sexual harassment. An announcement that was a real explosion in the celebrity world in recent days.
However, the coincidence of the calendar was like this: Slimane had an appointment on the stage of the Palais des festivals et des congrès de Cannes, this Friday, November 1, for the ceremony of NRJ Music Awards 2024. At the venue, a time suspendedwas however indeed provided by the singer, whose speech was more than expected. However, Slimane did not wish to speak on this matter, visibly preferring to speak several hours later, this Saturday, November 2.
The singer addresses his fans
Indeed, Slimane surprised everyone by sharing, this Saturday, November 2, three photos representing him NRJ Music Awards 2024 on his Instagram account. In the caption, the French artist, whose speech was more than expected, was very brief: “Words are not enough… Thank you for everything”. Simple words, but which say a lot about the week he has just gone through.
Unfortunate news which could have convinced the organizers of the NRJ Music Awards 2024 to cancel the nomination and, therefore, Slimane's appearance at the ceremony: “He remains presumed innocent, so we do not have to judge him”. The singer was finally able to ensure his presenceand even won the prize for French-speaking male artist of the year.
