He decided to “clarify his position”. Regularly accused of being far-right, the most influential YouTuber in France, Tibo Inshape, explains himself in the columns of Sunday newspaper (JDD)a weekly owned by conservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré, also owner of Canal+ and CNews.
“Certainly, the National Rally defends certain values close to mine, but not all,” underlines Tibo Inshape, whose real name is Thibaud Delapart, believing “that there is good and bad in each camp.” Tibo InShape regrets being “labeled a right-wing YouTuber for having defended values such as love of the French flag or respect for law enforcement”.
“Stay true to my beliefs”
“What matters to me is to remain honest and true to my convictions,” explains the 32-year-old videographer, who plans to enlist as a reservist in the gendarmerie. The native of Toulouse regrets that it is “often easier to affirm a left-wing vote as an artist or content creator”.
For the European elections, Tibo Inshape announced that he had voted for Ensemble, the Macronist coalition. For the legislative elections, unlike Squeezie who called to oppose the far right, the first YouTuber in France chose not to take sides. “It is good to remember that voting is a free, personal and anonymous right and duty,” he published on X.
Tibo InShape has 25.5 million subscribers on YouTube, 13.9 million on Instagram and 15.5 million on TikTok. A fan of bodybuilding, the young man made himself known by sharing his expertise in the field of sport, before developing formats dedicated to social subjects, such as testimonials.
