Camille Dahan and Nacer Boubekeur receive Hoshi in the studio of “C quoi l’info?”. The singer talks about the online harassment she suffered from 2020.
Her mood of the last three years? It’s black and white, like his new album Umbrella heart released in September. “For six years, my life has been like a roller coaster. I felt at peace and received a lot of hatred,” confides Hoshi, in “C quoi l’info”, a program broadcast on Thursday February 1st.
In 2020, she performs her title Censored love on the stage of the Victoires de la Musique to denounce homophobia and exchanged a kiss with one of his dancers at the end of his performance. It’s the start of a wave of hatred. The singer receives thousands of death threats. “I stayed locked in my house and didn’t see anyone”she remembers.
A year later, the singer was the victim of sexist and insulting comments made by music columnist Fabien Lecoeuvre on an internet radio station. “It 100% broke my self-confidence, she explains. M“physics had become a subject”.
Despite the ups and downs, she could always count on the support of her fans. “I felt a wave of love after that.”
Writing as a remedy
“I’m better today. It took time, but time heals”, she promises. As proof, his new album punctuated with joyful melodies. A way to focus on the positive. “I want to make sorrows dance, they are there anyway, I am going to make songs about them (…). The energy that I put into sadness, I can also put it physically on stage, jumping everywhere, with the audience. I feel like I heal better that way.”.
From now on, it is with her partner that she measures, optimistically, the progress made: “A few days ago, I was looking at Gia on the couch, I was like, ‘This is so weird, I’m famous. It took me 6 years to say that.”
