Overview

• The rapper, 48, was taken into custody Wednesday as part of a probe prompted by an August 2024 complaint from Gims and his partner Demdem.
• Police questioning can last up to 48 hours, after which he could be released without charge or brought before a magistrate.
• The filing alleges a six-year campaign of online harassment, including posts targeting Gims’ appearance and the track “Dolce Camara” referencing Demdem.
