Overview
- Orelsan released his fifth album, La Fuite en avant, on Friday, a project tied to his film Yoroï that blends personal reflections with wider commentary.
- In the track La petite voix, he raps “Tu vas faire couler ta ville comme les Mbappé,” referencing the family’s ownership of SM Caen.
- Mbappé replied on X, telling Orelsan he was “welcome to ‘save’ the city” and accusing him of seeking a free 1% stake, a post viewed by millions.
- The back‑and‑forth renewed focus on Caen’s crisis, including relegation to the third tier last spring and a plan validated this week that led to 16 staff departures.
- Public reaction swelled as Booba defended Orelsan on X and supporters cautioned that the episode could damage Mbappé’s local image.
