Orelsan Steps Back After Mbappé’s Public Rebuke Over Lyric

At a Caen signing, the rapper said he would reflect before replying, signaling the exchange has cooled for now.

Overview

  • Orelsan told attendees he would not answer impulsively, saying he prefers to think before responding to the criticism.
  • The dispute stems from a line in the song La petite voix on his new album La Fuite en avant, released Friday, that says, “Tu vas faire couler ta ville comme les Mbappé.”
  • The lyric refers to SM Caen, which media report Kylian Mbappé has owned since summer 2024 and which was relegated to the National division the following spring.
  • Mbappé replied on X by inviting Orelsan to come “save” the city and accused him of asking to enter with a 1% stake without paying, a claim the footballer made publicly.
  • Coverage notes the social buzz and mockery directed at Mbappé’s reaction, and there were no new escalations reported as of Sunday.
