In a video posted on TikTok over the weekend, we see Leycha in a bad light. Visibly exhausted, she stands in an apartment stripped of its furniture. Her face without makeup, marked by obvious pain, she reveals that her husband emptied their home after a violent argument. The camera scans the empty rooms where only an abandoned mattress sits, solitary, in the middle of a room. Clothes tied in a large fabric lie carelessly on the ground. The lamps, the furniture, everything was taken away.
“I never understood why I was never good enough in his eyes”
With simple but emotionally charged words, she looks back on her eight years of marriage, where she says she suffered as much emotionally as physically. In a burst of confession, the artist recounts the psychological and physical violence that marked his relationship. The final straw was a violent argument. That day, she had prepared a hearty breakfast for her husband and her marabout, who came to visit. But, for no apparent reason, he hit her violently. The Observer quotes his striking words: “I still can’t say what he is accusing me of. After eight years, I never understood why I was never good enough in his eyes. »

The account of her emotional wounds is accompanied by details of the toxic environment in which she lived. “My husband constantly put me down. He did everything to discourage me from pursuing my career,” she confides, her voice trembling with bitterness. Each video clip became a pretext for criticism. “He always found something to complain about: either the video wasn’t good enough, or the song had no interest. »
These incessant remarks, far from being constructive, ended up eroding her self-confidence, gradually pushing her to doubt her talent. “I felt like I no longer existed, like I was just a shadow,” she adds with pain.

A star that had shone brightly
However, everything had started under better auspices. Leycha Diop revealed herself to the public thanks to a moving cover of a classic by Youssou Ndour entitled Lées Waxoul. His soft and melodious voice had charmed music lovers. Her ability to blend into the legendary timbre of Yandé Codou Sène already placed her as a rising star.
But that wasn’t all: she also knew how to captivate crowds with sharp humor and tasty anecdotes that made viewers burst out laughing. His career quickly took off, to the point of performing on the biggest stages, including those of Youssou Ndour. Everything seemed to smile on this promising young woman. But to everyone’s surprise, it had come to a sudden halt. The appearances were rare. She seemed to have withdrawn into the shadows to devote herself to her family life.
Five years later, she resurfaced with a single titled Nimala Beugué. But the song did not meet with the expected success. According to L’Observateur, he quickly drowned in the ocean of musical productions. Seven months ago, the singer once again tried to rekindle the flame with a clip called Dof The. Here again, the public was not there. Today, this dramatic episode in her life once again shines the spotlight on her. Even if his musical career has not yet regained its former glory, his public release arouses a surge of solidarity.
In a “live”, alongside a famous preacher on TikTok, Leycha delivered chilling confidences about her personal life. The Observer reports that she confided: “I did everything to make him happy. I was fulfilling my duties as a wife, but he only saw flaws. He criticized my way of cooking, of dressing, he found fault in the smallest detail. » This accumulation of reproaches ended up undermining her self-confidence. She admits to having considered cosmetic surgery, convinced that she was no longer beautiful, that she was no longer the confident woman she had been before their marriage. The singer also spoke about the role of relatives, who tried to reconcile them after a first request for divorce from her. But this attempt at repair was only a respite before the storm.
Today, L’Observateur reveals that a prize pool has been launched on the web to give it a boost and help it regain the light of yesteryear.
