For their part, Lionel Tim and Otis, the two other members of the group have fallen back into anonymity. Disappointed at having been abandoned by his former partner, Lionel Tim did not hesitate to tackle him on several occasions. In November 2022, for example, he reacted to an interview with M.Pokora in which he said that Linkup represented “only nine months of his life”. “When you say it was only 9 months of your life, it’s just the catapult of your life! If you don’t do the show, we don’t know you. If you don’t do the album “Notre star”, nobody knows you! You would have continued to do freestyles in Strasbourg!” he had lamented on Virgin Radio.
Having become a room driver for the show “Touche pas à mon poste, Lionel Tim had to face M.Pokora tonight. It was with a smile that the two former members of the Linkup group met and even accepted to sing a little piece of their cult song: “Mon étoile”.
