Although it receives many criticisms, Aya Nakamura can also count on the support of their peers. Indeed, since February 29, 2024, the date on which The Express
revealed that the 28-year-old singer would have been asked by Emmanuel Macron to cover a song by Edith Piaf at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games next July, this provoked many reactions.
And in particular from small groups and far-right parties. For example, she was booed when Eric Zemmour mentioned the singer’s name during his meeting last Sunday. But it was also the subject of a virulent banner held up by around ten members of the small group Les Natifs on the banks of the Seine.
“There’s no way Aya, this is Paris, not the Bamako market!”they wrote in reference to the singer’s title Djadja. A situation that disgusts Benjamin Biolay. Like Magali Berdah who showed her support for Aya Nakamurathe 51-year-old artist expressed his anger on the airwaves of RTL this Wednesday, March 13 in the face of the lynching of her colleague.

Benjamin Biolay shocked by the lynching of Aya Nakamura
“I was blown away. I find it crazy. This young woman who has enormous talent is our best-selling artist abroad, in French. It’s not nothing”he initially lamented before attacking the “fachos” Who “destroy her in every direction.” “I don’t feel protected, this young woman”he also regretted.
But Benjamin Biolay was especially shocked by the comments made by Sébastien Chenu (RN), who is none other than the vice-president of the National Assembly. “He said he would have preferred Lara Fabian, who I really like, but she’s Belgian-Canadian. So really, he said ‘I’m racist'”he noted, very upset, before asking the “reactive and racist old boomers” to not “come and spoil the party”. A rant that will bring a little balm to the heart Aya Nakamura in this complicated situation.
