Booba at the Stade de France: his children on stage, guests, a walkabout … what to remember from the show

When he arrives on stage, around 9 p.m. this Saturday, a little ten minutes late, the packed stadium ignites in an enormous clamor and fervor. It was the rap event of this fall. Booba at the Stade de France had been announced full for months, with 81,000 “ratpi” (the name of his fans, pirates in verlan) faithful to the appointment. The first landed in front of the enclosure in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) at… 8:30 am. Before the show, the mostly male audience rushes to official clothing stores, wears “piracy” T-shirts, his brand, or sweatshirts flocked with a fake photo of Booba kissing Rohff, his forever enemy.
