In a recent episode of
Further investigation, the French rapper
Booba expressed his criticism of Cyril Hanouna and sent a message to Vincent Bolloré, boss of the Vivendi group. He criticizes the latter in particular for not having reestablished true journalism and for having recovered Hanouna. \n
Booba's intervention in "Additional investigation"
\nTo conclude the program dedicated to
Cyril Hanouna,
Booba sat down in the red armchairs to be questioned by
Tristan Waleckx. From Miami, the rapper did not hesitate to criticize the man who was once his friend but over time became his best enemy. According to Booba, Hanouna was previously more humble and helpful, before being recovered and completely changing his attitude. \n
\r\n - Booba asks Vincent Bolloré to restore real journalism : the rapper sharply criticizes Bolloré for his role in the transformation of Hanouna.
\r\n - Embarrassing rapprochement with Universal Music: Bolloré being both boss of Universal Music - which distributes Booba's music - and Cyril Hanouna, the situation becomes uncomfortable for the rapper.
\r\n - Internet users disappointed by the show: some viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with the “Additional investigation” number.

Real journalism in question
\nBeyond his rivalry with Cyril Hanouna, what Booba criticizes Vincent Bolloré is above all his management of the media and
the degradation of journalism. The rapper notably evokes the attitude of
Pascal Praud or even
Jean-Marc Morandini, hosting shows on channels controlled by Bolloré. It would therefore seem that this position is more than a simple clash between these media personalities, but rather
a call for journalistic renewal. \n
Vincent Bolloré, controversial businessman
\nBoss of
Universal Music,
Vincent Bolloré is also at the heart of numerous criticisms concerning its management of certain affairs in Africa. Indeed, it is not really appreciated on the African continent where it is often criticized. This negative image of the businessman also has repercussions on the
rapper Booba. \n
What next for this matter?
\nIt remains to be seen whether Vincent Bolloré will follow up on the comments made by Booba in “Additional investigation”. Especially since
reactions from Internet users were mixed following the broadcast of this program, some saying they were disappointed with the content offered. \n
The future of media under Bolloré
\nIn a context where the media are struggling to find their place in the face of new technologies and social networks, this clash between Booba and Vincent Bolloré raises questions about the future of journalism and the media in general. \n\nWill they be able to survive by relying solely on entertainment, or will they be required to evolve towards
a model more respectful of journalistic ethics ? In the meantime, listeners remain attentive to developments in this affair and to the future positions of the protagonists involved, who are
Booba,
Cyril Hanouna And
Vincent Bolloré.\n
