Wejdene and the hit "Anissa": how some surf on her success

2020-08-18T19:16:14.485Z


The singer releases her new song "Coco" this Tuesday at midnight on the platforms. A simple teaser of the clip has already made nearly 700,000 views


Same instrumental and heady chorus that stays in the lead for hours. Wejdene is releasing his new song "Coco" from this Tuesday midnight on musical platforms. The clip will be available this Wednesday August 19 at noon. You don't change a winning recipe. After igniting the summer with "Anissa", her song evoking a deception in love certified gold single with 50 million views on YouTube, the artist still evokes her stories of the heart. “Coco, you want to leave me, it's dead. I want more of your efforts, moreover, I answer you more. On Insta you are seen, ”she hums.

Mélenchon is not the only one to have tried to take advantage of the "Anissa" effect by parodying this music on TikTok at the beginning of July. With 821,000 subscribers on Instagram, Wejdene arouses the interest of Internet users. Kaaris' daughter even took over the title in her own way on her mother's story, giving herself a great spotlight. And the pieces featuring characters from his song have multiplied throughout the summer. Girls claiming to be "Anissa" responded to him and a few "exes" miraculously emerged on the web.

Mya Jazzi is the first to arouse the curiosity of Wejdene fans. The 28-year-old, a doctor of pharmacy, regularly shares covers on her Instagram and TikTok accounts. At the end of May, Mya sings a song in which she takes on the role of Anissa. "Apparently you're talking about me, you know it's me he loves […] It was my boyfriend before, it was you who stung him", she answers Wejdene.

30,000 subscribers at once by taking over Wejdene

The song is in second place of its 100 most viewed videos with 660,000 views. A craze that makes an interested smile. “I was the first one so they thought I was really Anissa, she couldn't believe. The Wejdene phenomenon is crazy. I gained 30,000 subscribers at once. Some would go to my sister's account to ask her if I was the real Anissa. Then some girls copied me. Wejdene's songs lend themselves easily to covers and allow assured views. It's tempting for artists who want to break through! Especially since it owes its visibility to the networks so we try to do the same. Besides, Mya Jazzi is already preparing to take over "Coco". “Why not in Arabic? She laughs.

In July, another rapper, Chiro, passed himself off as her ex-boyfriend with his song “Wejdene's ex-official response” in a clip echoing the singer's codes. "You are out of my sight. People like you, I want more, ”he recalls. The video, the only one on his channel, is close to 3 million views. A song that allowed him to go from 500 to… 50,000 subscribers on Instagram!

An "ex" singer feels obligated to respond

Reached by phone, the rapper cultivates the mystery around himself and his links with the singer. We will just know that he has been composing solo songs for 8 years. As to whether he is really Wejdene's ex, difficult to have a clear answer. “I can only say that seeing her music video, I felt concerned and compelled to respond. It's not a cover but a full song with its own flow. I don't have a record company. I wrote the lyrics and then we shot it in a week in Paris with the means at hand, he explains. But I'm preparing a new sound that will shed some light on this story within two weeks. It will be huge! To all those who are wondering the nature of my relationship with Wejdene, I ask you to wait a bit. My next clip will give you the answers. "

However, he admits it: Wejdene served as a “springboard” for him to gain visibility and then share his own creations. "I do not want that the label of Wejdene's ex is stuck on me but that we know who I am", he insists. Currently in Brussels, the rapper is working on a project using the “codes of this history”, then an album. A “story” that the producer of Wejdene does not validate. “This is of course false,” he insists. He wanted to make a buzz but Wejdene did not relay so it ran out of steam. "

Finally, artists use another technique. A certain Youbi.gsc thus created a YouTube video with his own music, calling it “Official Coco”. As a result, many Internet users are caught in the trap… Her clip quickly reached one million views. “You have to give strength to little-known rappers,” he simply comments.
