Rapper Nekfeu Detained in Paris Over Ex‑Partner’s Rape Allegation

The move follows a March complaint from his former partner citing new SMS exchanges under police review.

Overview

  • He was placed in police custody on September 29 at the 15th arrondissement station in Paris, according to Libération citing police sources.
  • Investigators are questioning him in connection with a March 5 complaint by his ex-partner alleging rape and violence, with numerous text messages submitted as purported evidence.
  • Paris Match, cited by Sud Ouest, reports the procedure also references sexual assault and alleged habitual spousal violence, and mentions a previously unknown witness statement.
  • The Paris prosecutor’s office said in a November 4, 2024 communiqué that several earlier complaints, including a spousal rape allegation, were closed for insufficient characterization.
  • The case unfolds alongside a prolonged custody dispute: a March 2024 judgment set the child’s residence with the artist, the mother received a two-month suspended sentence for some non-representation counts in March 2025, and she has appealed.
