A rap scene united in indignation: several personalities, including the Marseillais Jul and SCH, reacted to the death of Nahel, a 17-year-old teenager killed by police shooting on Tuesday June 27 in Nanterre in the Paris suburbs.
French rap personalities Jul, SCH and Rohff reacted to the death of Nahel, a 17-year-old teenager killed by police shooting on Tuesday in the Paris suburbs. ” A thought for Naël #Nanterre“, reacted on Instagram Jul, the biggest seller of tricolor rap. The 33-year-old Marseillais attached to his message a raised fist and a dove.
The other Marseille rap star, SCH, also spoke on Twitter, saying ” all we support“to the relatives of Nahel as well as to” our neighborhoods“.” I see mind-blowing tweets, it makes you wonder if there’s still a bit of humanity left in some people. You can find all the excuses on earth to justify the act, it won’t bring this poor 17-year-old kid back to his parents.“, he wrote.

” Failure to obtain a permit or refusal to comply should not allow a police officer out of danger to commit murder on the public highway. It would have been Pierre Palmade or Nadine’s son at the wheel, high on coke and I don’t know what else, I doubt very much that they would have been executed like that“, wrote Rohff, holding old-fashioned rap.
Other personalities from this scene, including Hamza or SDM, also reacted on social networks. This Wednesday, June 28, the captain of the French football team Kylian Mbappé expressed his anger, calling the incident ” unacceptable“.” I hurt my France“, he wrote again.
I feel bad for my France. 💙🤍💔💔💔
An unacceptable situation. All my thoughts go out to Naël’s family and loved ones, this little angel who left much too soon.— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) June 28, 2023

Nahel M., 17, was killed Tuesday morning, June 27, hit by a bullet in the chest. The tragedy, which reignited the controversy over the response of the police to refusals to comply, occurred near the Nanterre-Préfecture RER station. A video circulating on social networks, authenticated by AFP, showed that one of the two police officers held the driver at gunpoint, before shooting at close range when the car restarted. The vehicle ended its race a few tens of meters further, embedded in a pole.
