Launched on social networks, the conflict between rapper Booba and influencer Dylan Thiry took a politico-judicial turn on Wednesday, April 26.

He seems to confirm the authenticity of the videos: “I sent them to Sandra (…) who was my agent”, he explains, accusing him of having subsequently transmitted them to the collective AVI (Help for victims of influencers), officially supported by Booba. “Beware of those around you”, concludes the influencer who feels betrayed by this former relative.
