Renault: A singer wants to rename the new SUV Arkana

A little buzz on social networks can not hurt and allows you to have a cheap communication session.
In any case, this is what the Marseille rapper Keny Arkana must have thought when she told the cantonnade and her fans that she did not want her name to be associated with Renault’s new SUC, the Arkana.
The singer would therefore require that the automaker rename his new vehicle so that it is not associated or confused with an automobile, was it a success!

Lots of “we say” and a sledgehammer!

There is nothing official at the moment but a lot of discussion, buzz and “announcements” on various social networks.
So we read here and there that the singer would no longer want to hear about the Arkana in the Renault way, that she would demand that the car manufacturer rename her SUV and give it another name.
In addition, we even learn from zealous fans that Renault would have offered a substantial sum of money to the Marseillaise but it would have refused the tens or even hundreds of thousands of euros offered by the diamond brand. A fine example of probity… at least in the posts published on the so-called social networks but which unfortunately tend to become places where retribution and speedy justice reign on the web!
Still, there is currently no proof of these claims and of any contact between the car company and Keny Arkana.

However, the case grows harder and not to the advantage of the southern rapper when we do some cross-checking and do some research in the newspapers or media that have spoken of K. Arkana.
And there, it is the surprise which cuts short the affair.
By discovering an article of the newspaper Le Parisien dated January 13, 2007 which presents the artist then aged 24 years, one notices some elements which undermine the request of the rapper.
In the article, this one says:
“I’m not saying my real name or my first name. ”
After some procrastination and advancing a little in the discussion, the journalist learns that Keny has been his nickname since childhood, and Arkana a nod to the magician of the cartoon “The Sunken Worlds”, a television series created and produced by Nina and Gilbert Wolmark in the 80s. This series was broadcast at the time by France 2.
It is hard to believe that Keny Arkana was negotiating the use of the name with the creators, producers and broadcasters of this 52-episode cartoon.
We can add that Kény Arkana wakes up a little late since SUC Arkana has been in existence since 2019 on the Russian market.

Close the ban, all is said since the artist seems to need a little visibility to his new series of songs called ” Before the exodus“And its flagship title” True Word / Projectors “which has been broadcast on the net for a few weeks.

The Mégane and Zoé jurisprudence passed many years ago.

We all remember that in 2000, the French manufacturer had to go to court following the request of the parents of a small Mégane Renaud. At the time the Rennes Court of Appeal had confirmed the decision rendered on the 7th by the Nantes family affairs judge and ensured that this was not contrary to the interests of the child since, ultimately, only adults would have been able to perceive the comic situation born of the association of these two words but especially not of the children. Today the young Mégane Renaud is 21 years old and has to live her life pleasantly without suffering from her name and her first name.
In 2010, Zoé Renault’s lawyer, a young woman of 23 at the time, officially asked the automaker to drop the name of its future Zoé electric sedan. Despite the presence of Maitre D. Koubbi, of an association of a petition which had received some 5,260 signatures, the case was lost since the court had finally ruled in favor of the car manufacturer of Billancourt.

It’s a safe bet that this little com ‘session and buzz on the internet will stop quickly and the legal services of the diamond builder will quickly close this case which seems just born on the side of the rapper and her entourage. .
