“You can be racist, but not deaf”: Aya Nakamura responds to attacks from “Natives”. “There is no way Aya, this is Paris, no the Bamako market", in reference to the Malian origins of the French artist.
The identity collective “Les Natifs” demonstrated in Paris on Saturday evening to oppose the singer performing during the Paris 2024 Olympics. Despite her 8 diamond singles and her title as the most listened to French-speaking artist abroad, this announcement gave rise to a barrage of criticism. Neither the Élysée nor the singer have confirmed this participation.
