for Sugar Sammy, “Saint-Etienne is a hole”

“What do you have against Saint-Etienne? » Wednesday evening, on M6, Hélène Ségara was offended by Sugar Sammy’s comments.

The two members of the jury did not at all have the same opinion on the city. And it was during the performance of a candidate from Saint-Etienne that the singer defended Saint-Etienne.

A ventriloquist without a puppet

This 49-year-old candidate, Florentine, delivered a ventriloquism number without a puppet on the show’s stage. A performance little appreciated by the four members of the jury.

But it was Sugar Sammy who was the most incisive when evaluating the show: “I wondered what happened and then I saw that you come from Saint-Etienne. So everything is explained,” he says.

“What do you have against Saint-Etienne? », exclaims Hélène Segara. “It’s a hole,” replies the Quebec comedian.

The latter came to Saint-Etienne at least once: he was in fact featured in the program of the burlesque arts festival (now ArcomiK) in 2018.

And this isn’t the first time Sugar Sammy has trashed the city on this show. In 2020, after a performance that he did not like at all, he said “It was like an erotic dance in Saint-Etienne on a Monday morning. »
