This 75 edition of the Cannes International Film Festival is full of surprises. It’s hard to say which caused the biggest stir… but the screening of the documentary produced by BrutX on the life of Diam’s is undoubtedly at the top of the list. The former rapper did not go to the Côte-d’Azur for the occasion but her journey was presented on the big screen in HelloThursday, May 26, 2022. You will then have to wait until July 1 and 2 to see the images in the cinema, then the next school year to enjoy them in streaming.
Difficult to know if the children of the artist will have the right to watch the documentary. Mélanie Georgiadès, her real name, has been married since 2015 to Faouzi Tarkhani and has become the mother of three children, of whom she speaks very little… with the exception of a very recent interview given to the daily newspaper The Parisian. We thus learn that Maryam is 10 years old, Abraham is 7 and the youngest is 5 years old. He was named Luqman, in reference to the sura she played to her grandfather when he was hospitalized: “That’s peace, my daughter, that’s peace, my grandpa used to tell me when I made him listen to this on his bed…” she revealed in 2014.
What matters to me is not that she likes what I have done, but that she understands what I have been
Mother hen, “gaga“, Mélanie Georgiadès does not hide her past as an artist from her children. And how could she, when we constantly recognize her? “When we were still in France, she saw people who stopped me in the street, who cried when they saw me, says Diam’s. She wondered why. When she was older, I explained to her: Mom was a singer, she did rap, she was very famous“She did not, however, make him listen to her records – unless Maryam listened to them alone in secret! “What matters to me is not that she likes what I have done, but that she understands what I have beenshe adds. It is the relationship to celebrity that challenges him above all. I am stopped all the time in the street. And I’m lucky that it’s only love, especially with the passage of time. As for my sons, they are more geeks, youtubers and video games. Music doesn’t interest them..”
