Slimane had announced that he needed to retire from the music scene. But his fans weren’t expecting such a brutal reaction. This Wednesday, December 15, they discovered his Instagram account completely emptied of all the videos and photos of the artist. What is going on ? Is he okay? Update on the issue.
Slimane: “It was our last, we’re going to go back to both solo”
The last edition of the NRJ Music Awards had once again praised Slimane and Vitaa. It was last November 20. The two artists have indeed received two awards including that of the best French-speaking group of the year. Slimane’s speech on this occasion moved everyone. “It was our last, we’re going to go back to both solo”, announced the artist, moved. “I really wanted to tell you from the bottom of my heart (…), I didn’t meet a singer or a friend, I met someone from my family, as if we had to find each other. You helped me to be a better person and I will miss you every day when we stop. “, he continued.
Obviously, the duo’s audience very quickly expressed their feelings. Especially on Twitter. “Even though Vitaa and Slimane’s victory was far too obvious, Slimane’s speech was moving. »,« Slimane is really too moving. »,« I was Slimane who killed me. “,” I want to complain, it’s good. “,” The fact of seeing Slimane filled with emotions. Thanks to this victory I want to say bravo! And it’s really deserved! It feels good to see real emotions ”,“ Woow, that’s amazing. The emotion of Slimane. Speaking of the last one with Vitaa. We will miss it. “, could we read among the many comments. Unfortunately, Slimane and Vitaa have made the decision to go their separate ways. For real. Thus, their tour will end at the end of 2022, on December 17 exactly, at Paris La Défense Arena, for the last duo concert.
“I’ll be tired of running around«
When they released their album “Versus”, Our colleagues from Paris Match had interviewed the successful duo. The two friends have revealed that they love to share the poster. “It’s exciting to mix different musical genres, to work with someone who has nothing to do with you, it allows you to make songs that are out of the ordinary. », Declared Vitaa. “French artists are afraid of that, that they can be erased behind the other, while Rihanna and Eminem mix without problem. Afterwards, to talk about Slimane, of course working together on such a big project was not easy. “
And to add: “We had recorded a title for the reissue of my album, it is our teams who pushed for us to go further. Having worked with a lot of people, it’s rare to get this fluidity when working together. “Avant toi” was one of the first songs we wrote. She is the trigger for the album. “, She continued.
However, women do not have the right to say everything in music, had noted the journalists of Paris Match. Vitaa recognizes indeed that “it is different…”. She then details the reasons. “I have often been asked the question of my place in this environment and I have no negative anecdotes to tell, the rappers with whom I worked have always respected me. The problem is that when I started out there was no media for R’n’B singers. Either you did rap or you did song, but there was no in-between. We weren’t broadcast on the radio, it was complicated to sell records. We had to enter a box. We all suffered from it, urban music too, in general. That’s why we launched our own label, Indifférence-prod. “
Vitaa also writes for others. ” I know there will come a time when I’ll get tired of running around … Writing for others allows me to express myself artistically without needing to promote. I do it for Amel Bent, for Kendji too. I’m having fun. Especially when I write for men, because I can make them say what a woman would never say. »

If Vitaa writes for other artists, Slimane prefers to continue his journey alone. He should also concentrate on his next album, three years after the release of Solune. Good news for his fans? Not sure… Because the singer announced to our colleagues of People Act Magazine that he would disappear from social networks for many months.
But his fans weren’t expecting his departure to be so brutal. Indeed, on the night of Tuesday 14 to Wednesday 15 December, Slimane deleted all his posts on Instagram. He used images on a black background instead. We can read there: ” Anyway, I need a break“. What confuses his audience is that the artist gives no explanation. Then those posts disappeared. Only one story remains. Slimane sings and dances on the dance floor. Is this a new title? To be continued…
