Benoît made his debut in Don't forget the lyrics on December 2. The champion has had a string of victories since then and seems unbeatable. Having entered the Masters last Thursday December 19, he is now one of the greatest Maestros of the musical game of Nagui and intends to remain so. On this subject, he told us in a previous interview: “Really, entering the Masters, for me, is the consecration of so many years of work. I tell myself that I will be able to spend more time with friends and discover new people by entering this ranking. For me, the Masters is about joining people like us, who we watched on TV and admired at one time. (…) I’m so happy. I said to myself: 'I'm there. It was possible, finally'”.
Benoît breaks all records
His next goal now that he's entered the Masters? “Grabbing places. Because getting into the Masters is good, but we have to secure a few additional places in the rankings to hope to stay there for several more years, because now that we're there, we don't I don't want it to stop at all (laughs)”, he admitted to us.

“But so, yes, I am still aware that it will be money in the future, but it is true that for the moment, it is a bit of a score in my eyes. is not yet concrete. Afterwards, there is still this awareness, because when we have a final, I say it very regularly: 'No, but in fact, I am not going to take any risk, 5,000 euros. It’s already huge. that there is really this passage in the final where we are 100% aware that it is money but when we look at the total winnings, it is very hard to really be aware of that”detailed Benoît. And to conclude with frankness: “Actually, I don't know what it's like to have that much money… I've never had that much money! So it seems totally unreal to me.”.
