Guest of the “OuiHustle” program broadcast on YouTube, Gims recently spoke about his career, his family and his vision of history. The famous singer thus made remarks that resonate today in the press, starting with the fact that according to him, “Africa is Wakanda” in reference to the name of a fictional kingdom in the Marvel universe where the Black Panther hero reigns and thrives.
Gims who recently expressed his anger against the “Victoires de la Musique” ensures that Wakanda would be an extremely developed country, hidden from other nations of the world. “The pyramids that we see, at the top there is gold. Gold is the best conductor for electricity… they were damn antennas! People had electricity. The Egyptians, the science they had, it is beyond comprehension. And historians know it” launched Gims before adding: “Africa populated Europe before the Europeans. They were called Afropeans. They were decimated by the “true Europeans” who came from Asia. They were called the Yamnayas”. Remarks deemed conspiratorial which gave cold sweats to the greatest historians and certain politicians.
“That’s really the ravages of YouTube”
This Tuesday, April 11, 2023, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine spoke of these crazy statements on the set of her show “C à vous” broadcast on France 5 and did not fail to point out that the interview with Gims was seen more than 530 000 times before giving the floor to Rudy Reichstadt, director of the Conspiracy Watch site and host of the “Complorama” program on France Info.
“The really conspiratorial thing is when Gims says that historians know it. It’s the idea that we know it but that we hide it for obscure political purposes. That’s really the ravages of YouTube If you take the YouTube factor out of the equation, you don’t have a flat goer today. conspiracy and we would not see a resurgence of these ideas, in these proportions, it is obvious” he analyzed.

Gims’ statements seem to really worry the political class since Tristan Mendès-France, the very renowned political scientist who applies himself to deconstructing past and contemporary conspiracy theories, pointed out that Gims has “3 million subscribers on Twitter, 11 million on FaceBook , 11 million on YouTube” and that it is “especially young people who take it as a model. And who will hear that”: “Courage to the history teachers of college and high school” he said sorry on Twitter.
