Overview
- On Nov. 7, Orelsan released La fuite en avant, whose track La petite voix includes the line, “Tu vas faire couler ta ville comme les Mbappé.”
- Hours later, Mbappé replied on X, inviting Orelsan to “save” Caen and alleging the rapper sought a 1% stake “without paying” to polish his image.
- The lyric references the Mbappé family’s 2024 takeover of SM Caen, followed by relegation to National and a plan validated this week that cut 16 jobs.
- The exchange drew wide attention online — Franceinfo notes Mbappé’s message was viewed nearly 14 million times — and artists like Booba publicly backed Orelsan.
- The album forms a companion to Orelsan’s film Yoroï and features collaborations with Thomas Bangalter, Lilas of Yoasobi, Fifty Fifty, SDM and Yamê.
