My father always said to my sisters: ‘Listen to me girls, you bring me home whoever you want, but not a black person or an Arab!’ So me: ‘Daddy, I’m p *** and his name is Mustapha’. ‘Honey, go and hide the hens in the garage’. Today with a lot of love, it all smoothed out, because listen to me, the boyfriends, the girlfriends, the Claras, the Mustaphas and all that, they come home on Sundays for family meals. ” According to him, his mother found the situation quite funny.

Jeanfi Janssens victim of a huge scam
This is not the first time that Jeanfi Janssens has mentioned one of his former companions in this way. Guest of Luxury show! on Voltage in November 2018, he explained in particular that he had been the victim of a huge scam. His ex at the time would have left him a considerable debt. “I had a lot of worries in my life in relation to money. So I have a different relationship with money, I can’t look at my bank accounts. I had been scammed by my ex, he had made me do a lot of credits in my name for him, then he left with the credits but not me. I had to repay 100,000 euros for 10 years of my life for him”.
Fortunately, Stéphane Plaza would have allowed him to get his head above water. In any case, this is what he confided in June 2022 in the columns of TVMagazine. “I met Stéphane ten years ago because I was looking for an apartment in Paris. He found me something great, but I couldn’t finance it because I was starting my career as an artist. We stayed in touch and he always pushed me not to let go. I almost stopped everything at one point and I hadn’t paid my rent for a year. Stéphane said to me: ‘You continue, who cares! I’m going to pay you your rent.’ A beautiful proof of friendship.
