Since the release of her hit “Djadja”, Aya Nakamura has become a real musical phenomenon on a global scale. Indeed, if his catchy song and his album called “Nakamura” were a real success in France, his titles have crossed borders to also become hits in Europe and around the world.
Enough to allow her to break records and allow her to become the most listened to French-speaking singer in the world on the Spotify platform. And despite her presence on the music scene for almost a decade, some still have trouble pronouncing her name… We remember Nikos Aliagas who, on the stage of the NRJ Music Awards, announced the arrival of the singer by saying : “Yaka Nakamura”. Something to annoy the 27-year-old artist who then reacted on Twitter by saying: “ODon’t invite people when you can’t say their name correctly!!”
This Sunday, May 15, 2022, it was Laurent Ruquier who made a mistake on the set of the program “Les Enfants de la télé”. The host received François-Xavier Demaison, Benoît Michel and Lola Dewaere. To introduce his guests, Laurent Ruquier shared funny little video clips from each of them. For Benoît Michel, it is therefore a video where the actor imitates Aya Nakamura which has been broadcast. But the host had a hard time pronouncing the singer’s name and then said: Aya Nakanamura“. After realizing his mistake, he then launched: “She’s not going to like…” before being corrected by actress Lola Dewaere.
