- 2016 October 22, “Soprano : 'J'assume le fait d'être un rappeur positif'”, in Le Dauphiné libéré[1]:
- Quand j’entends les histoires de burkini en France, je me demande pourquoi on se concentre sur ça ? Ce sont des histoires comme ça qui poussent les extrêmes, qui divisent. Pourquoi ne pas parler de choses positives ? Quand on voit la cabale extrême contre Paul Pogba par exemple après un match moyen avec l’équipe de France, c’est du délire.
- When I hear the stories about the burkini in France, I wonder why people focus on that. It's stories like that which push the extremes and divide people. Why not talk about positive things? When you see how viciously people gang up on Paul Pogba after an average match with the French team, for example, it's madness.
