"Macron, motherfucker, Macron, get out".
Since he insulted the French president during a concert at the Touquet Music Beach Festival, Saturday August 27, the Franco-American DJ Marc Rebillet has been making headlines.
This intervention in boxer shorts, encouraged by the public, might not have had the same effect if Emmanuel Macron, as well as his wife, had not been present in the crowd of the electronic music festival.
“We overshadowed Macron a little last night. The festival was not happy since he was present, but everyone needs to be put in their place from time to time”
, expressed the artist the next day on his Instagram account.
In a long
story
, Marc Rebillet, who admits being used to this type of provocation, explains that festival officials tried to mute his microphone after signaling him from behind the scenes to stop.
According to the DJ, the festival president even threw the contents of a drink at her manager in anger.
Information confirmed by a witness to Le
Parisien
.
On Twitter, the mayor of Le Touquet, Daniel Fasquelle, was indignant at the incident and asked the organizers of the Touquet Music Beach Festival to
“ensure that [Marc Rebillet] is no longer invited”
.
For his part, the artist replied that we would not take it back.
The demand of the festival organizers to reimburse the fee collected convinced him never to return.
Who is Marc Rebillet?
The 33-year-old artist spent the first years of his life between Dallas and New Jersey.
He then followed a classical piano training as well as a year of theater at university.
After ten years of working in various sectors and following a dismissal, Marc Rebillet decided to break into music:
"If I hadn't been fired, I would probably never have embarked on a career in pro."
Unknown a few years ago, his videos with an offbeat tone, posted on social networks, made him go from shadow to light.
With 1.7 million subscribers on Instagram and 1.2 on TikTok, the performer has accumulated millions of views.
Currently on tour throughout Europe, the DJ notably performed this summer at Solidays, Garorock and Eurockéennes, but also in Berlin, London, Madrid, Brussels and Zurich.
