It’s been several weeks since Yannick Noah found himself at the heart of heated controversies. The former tennis champion is, for example, at the heart of a scathing debate between him and host Arthur over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Very active on Instagram, the man who also made a career in the world of music now lives in Cameroon and is also the head of a village of 5,000 inhabitants.
This does not prevent him from commenting on French but also global news in order to maintain a link with his community. This Monday, November 13, it was to express his grief that he spoke on Instagram.
“FRANCIS!!! Shit!!!! Shit!!! Brother I just learned that you went up there!! Holy shit!! Balls !! My brother !! Shit ! I’m crying… my brother!!” he exclaimed to evoke the death of Francis Agbo, a former athlete who competed in the high jump and who lost his life at only 65 years old. “Peace to your beautiful soul! My friend ! Rest in power my rock and roll friend !!!. Love family, ‘love love peace’, your words always!” he added.
The announcement also caused a reaction from Internet users who also spoke out to express their sorrow: “What sadness I think of Raoul and his family”, “All my condolences, May his soul rest in eternal peace”, “Peace to his soul… Courage and gentleness to those who remain…”, “A good sad news! Courage & Condolences to the family….” , “Courage to you, family and friends, losing someone is an immense pain” can we read for example.
