No “suicide blackmail” according to his partner

The winner of the 2014 edition of the show “The Voice” was hospitalized near Bordeaux after a serious gunshot wound to the chest in Biscarosse (Landes). During a press conference a few days later, the Mont-de-Marsan prosecutor, Olivier Janson, explained that the artist had wanted “faking suicide” to scare his partner, who threatened to leave him after an argument.

“Kendji never blackmailed me into suicide, let me be clear. It never existed. I never suffered the slightest violence whatsoever from him. I am categorical“, denied his partner, in an interview with Parisian. The singer’s entourage had also said “to regret” that elements of his private life were disclosed during this press conference.
