Summary.

On Tuesday, May 18, two days after the announcement of the players selected for the French team for Euro football, Jordan Bardella was carried away on France Info.

"We gave in to a scum part of France," launches the vice-president of the National Rally, questioned about the choice of Youssoupha as the performer of the song that accompanies this list.

Other personalities follow suit, criticizing the rapper for the words of his old songs which target the polemicist Eric Zemmour, or the president of RN Marine Le Pen.

A controversy that does not shake this committed artist, at the head of a powerful French rap label.

Code source looks back on her journey with Marie Poussel, journalist in the culture department of Le Parisien.
