Overview
- In a video posted on November 22, Orelsan explains that the line in La petite voix is spoken by a fictional inner critic from his film-linked album and does not reflect his personal opinion.
- As he says he is not targeting anyone in particular, a printed photo of Kylian Mbappé appears in the background of the Instagram video.
- He underscores his point with humor by noting SM Caen’s slump, citing a 10th-place standing in National and a recent Coupe de France exit to Bayeux, then showing a clip of himself missing a charity penalty.
- Mbappé had reacted on X around November 7, inviting Orelsan to “save” his city and alleging the artist sought a 1% stake without paying to burnish a local image.
- The exchange centers on SM Caen, majority-owned by Mbappé since 2024, after relegation to the third tier and a cup upset, with no fresh response from the player reported since the video.
