why was Djebril not present on Saturday evening? He answers!

During the special tour week, the “Star Academy” received a visit from former students who made France vibrate for more than 70 dates and brought together more than 450,000 spectators. Thus, Helena, Lénie, Candice, Julien and Axel got to know the new class, spending an evening at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys, before Pierre Garnier joined the teachers to attend the evaluations. Saturday evening, when Julie was eliminated, the former students sang a medley of Jean-Jacques Goldman with Ebony, Marine or Franck, while Pierre Garnier shared a duet with Marguerite on “Every second”. But one notable absentee marked the evening: Djebril. Emblematic candidate of the previous season of the “Star Academy”, the one who participated in the tour did not make the trip, to the great dismay of his fans, deploring that the little gang was not complete.

“I was invited but…”

Faced with the various rumors circulating on social networks that the production had filed a complaint against him for non-compliance with certain contractual clauses, Djebril Slatni, who had publicly deplored having experienced unequal treatment during his stay at the “Star Academy”, insisted on speaking out to defend his honor. “ Hello everyone, it's been a few days since I heard about your concern regarding my non-participation in this week and in tonight's prime » he wrote in a message published just hours before the evening kicked off, before saying more about his absence: “ I was invited but did not wish to take part in this week for my own reasons and scheduling issues, the production was of course informed ».

The interpreter of “Privilèges” also wanted to clarify things regarding the rumors and the wave of hatred unleashed in the process: “ I understand that certain false information has been given about me. Am I surprised? No. As a reminder, defamatory, hateful, racist, homophobic and transphobic comments are not acceptable towards anyone and are punishable by law. “. Today, Djebril wants to stay away from controversies and focus on the essential: “ Today, what I have always wanted, and what I want more than anything, is to make music. And that's the only thing that matters to me ».
