Maître Gims has been in turmoil for several weeks. Last January, the singer had indeed found himself at the heart of a lively controversy after asking his fans and friends not to wish him a happy new year: “Please leave me with the ‘Happy New Year, New Year’… Leave me with that. You know very well that I never replied to that and you keep sending me ‘happy new years’. In addition, Muslims stop it, we have the same convictions! They are the ones who send most of the ‘happy new years’. Brothers, we don’t celebrate […]. No guys, it’s not part of our convictions”.
A shocking and clumsy statement that had earned the singer to be tackled by several politicians and a good part of public opinion. Faced with the scale of the scandal and after being reframed by Valérie Pécresse in person, the interpreter of the tube “Bella” had finally apologized: “This video, I totally regret it. It was a UFO, I don’t usually communicate like that. I didn’t want to hurt people. Sometimes it’s intimate. Social networks must not be a springboard to talk about this. It does not change in any way my relationship with my audience, animist, Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim… This video was made spontaneously late at night. I’m really sorry.” he said in the columns of the Journal du dimanche.
Jean-Luc Reichmann makes fun of Maître Gims on Twitter
If the controversy is over, now the singer is again taken to task on the web. It is indeed the turn of Jean-Luc Reichmann to bring his grain of salt on Twitter! Always very teasing, the host of TF1 shared this Wednesday, February 2, a photo showing a gymnast in action, with the head of Master Gims mounted on the body of the young woman. A montage on which is written “Master Gym”, a bad pun to amuse the gallery.
