Rapper Kaaris, accused of violence by his ex-girlfriend, was taken into police custody on the morning of Wednesday, September 28, the Evry prosecution announced to AFP. Kaaris, 42-year-old rapper from Sevran (Seine-Saint-Denis), who achieved success with the release of his album Black gold in 2013, is accused by his ex-companion of having assaulted her in Linas (Essonne), south of Paris, on January 19, 2021.
For his part, Kaaris filed a complaint for slanderous denunciation. “It was we who insisted that Kaaris be heard quickly”, assured one of his lawyers, Yassine Maharsi. “We asked for a confrontation. It’s a classic procedure for this type of business. Our client is innocent and very calm”, he insisted to AFP. The planned confrontation between his client and the rapper should take place at the end of the afternoon, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer, Adrien Gabeaud.
In her complaint filed on July 7, 2022, Linda P., who has a child with Kaaris, reports a “avoidance behavior” suddenly and without explanation from Kaaris, causing a “deep trauma” in their child. Faced with this unexplained absence, she would have tried “to reconnect” with Kaaris, explained Adrien Gabeaud, and would have discovered that the rapper had acquired “a new residence” at Linas. She is going there on January 19, 2021 and “found in bed” Kaaris with a woman, continues his counsel, who defends her alongside Sema Akman.
There, Kaaris is accused of assaulting Linda P. in the garage of her home, kicking and punching her while ripping out her fingernails, according to the complaint, which states that Linda P. needed “crutches and a support boot for two weeks”. The complaint also targets the woman with whom Kaaris was on the day of the alleged assault, for failure to assist a person in danger.
