Event on France 5. Aya Nakamura was the guest of Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine live in C to you this Thursday, November 28, 2024.

Aya Nakamura : in the family “touched“by the attacks on her
Asked about the violent racist attacks which invaded social networks and media space to protest against her presence at this ceremony, the singer replied: “Yes, obviously, I was touched. It's still my passion, we touched on something that makes me vibrate naturally. (…) The first time, as I am used to being criticized, I saw it as yet another criticism. But as soon as I saw my family being affected, I said to myself 'oula'!“Then it is the fact of receiving.”the support of many artists“which made him realize the extent of the problem:”Ah, there, it's much more serious, it's becoming international, something is happening that is out of the ordinary“.
The singer tackles M. Pokora and David Guetta
If certain artists mobilized for it, others like Mr. Pokora or David Guetta made headlines by expressing their regrets and their incomprehension at not also being part of this historic show. If they never questioned the legitimacy of Aya Nakamura, the latter expected more support from them. However, Mr. Pokora quickly put an end to any misunderstanding by supporting and complimenting his colleague. “I am still the first from my background to do what I do. I'm getting the ball rolling. You can't arrive like that, be a renoi who comes to Aulnay-sous-Bois, and directly you sing at the Olympics. In France, it’s every 100 years! I felt like I was in a movie. Especially since I saw a lot of artists who wanted to have me as a feat saying: 'I can sing too, I'm legitimate'… It wasn't fair play on their part to say that, especially in those moments . I found it a bit disappointing. But I did it anyway, I was the one who sang!“, she proudly declared in C to you.
