At the heart of a lively controversy for three months, the concert of rapper Booba, scheduled for June 21 in Casablanca (Morocco), was canceled on Tuesday.
A hard blow for the “Duke of Boulogne”. Booba’s concert scheduled for June 21 in Casablanca has been canceled by local authorities, amid a boycott campaign accusing the French rapper of sexism, AFP learned from organizers on Tuesday.
Confirming information from the website of the Moroccan magazine Tel Quel, an official of the organization simply answered “yes” to the question of whether Booba’s show was canceled.
The same source, who requested anonymity, attributed this cancellation to a refusal from the prefecture of Casablanca-Anfa, where the rapper was to perform.
Several decried titles
Very popular in Morocco, Booba – Elie Yaffa of his real name – has been implicated on Moroccan social networks for having made “degrading remarks towards Moroccan and North African women” in some of his songs.
Among the decried titles of the rapper: “ELEPHANT” or “Génération assassin”.
