Demdem’s husband converted to Islam in 2004 while the rest of his family is Christian. “My mother is still Christian, like my father, my brothers… You would have to put a cameraman with me for forty-eight hours to see how I work, the number of people from all walks of life that I meet“, shares the singer.
Gims very quickly became aware of the extent of the bad buzz from Morocco, where he lives with Demdem and their children. It was too late… “When I saw my face everywhere, on all the channels, yes, it scared me. I could not sleep“, confesses the big brother of Dadju.
No, I do not support Valérie Pécresse
The bad buzz was quickly reappropriated by the various political classes, due to Gims’ supposed support for Valérie Pécresse. Candidate LR for the 2022 presidential election has also spoken on the subject several times, assuring that Gims was sorry for his video and that he was ready to apologize. Today, the singer distances himself from Valérie Pécresse and clarifies their relationship.
“No, I do not support Valérie Pécresse”, declares the singer with dark glasses. “We dug up an old video where she wasn’t a candidate. I support her approach, as president of the Île-de-France region, for young talents. I would have done it with all the other policies except the extremes“, he defends. Gims will not position himself in this presidential 2022 simply because he will not be able to vote. French nationality has been refused to him, a great regret for the artist born in Kinshasa, in the democratic republic of Congo.”Apparently, the refusal is related to an offense that I allegedly committed when I was a minor. But my locker is blank. I will reapply for nationality“explains Gims, determined to get it, no matter how long it takes.
