Sexion d’Assaut ultimately did not release another album
As for Sexion d’Assaut, the group announced in 2020 the release of a new album, which ultimately never saw the light of day.
“We started with a success which was L’Apogée (last album of the group, 2012, editor’s note). We sold over a million of them. Putting the belt back on the line after a journey like that, you have to think about it carefully. With this tour, it allowed us to see that it was better to stop there“, explained Maître Gims on RTL before continuing: “I was ready to do it. I was ready to release it. Then I recanted. Black M recanted. The others wanted to take it out. There was yelling and screaming, because we’re a group of friends, and in the end, we decided no.“
The group reformed in 2022 during a tour named The Return of Kings.
