Freeze Corleone's concert in Lille banned by the Prefecture for promoting terrorism

The news is now spreading through all the media in the region. No, Freeze Corleone will not be allowed to perform at the Zénith de Lille tomorrow. The Prefecture of Nord opposes it and bans it. Indeed, the French rapper is the subject of a preliminary investigation for glorifying terrorism since this weekend. The reason? His brand-new track "Haaland" released last Thursday allegedly alludes to the attack that hit Nice and the Promenade des Anglais on July 14, 2016. "The lyrics of several Freeze Corleone songs do indeed contain conspiracy theories, openly anti-Semitic statements, and admiration for Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich, as well as glorification of terrorism referencing the Nice attack." Provoking discrimination, hatred, or violence towards a person or group of people based on their origin or.Their belonging or non-belonging to a specific ethnicity, nation, race or religion is a crime. The apology of terrorism, on the other hand, is a criminal offense," reads the statement shared by the prefecture on their website.

In the song "Haaland", the lyrics go like this: "In defense I'm Kalidou, you're Lenglet. Burberry like an English grandfather. I come into rap like a truck bombing away…". The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, immediately spoke out against the rapper's unspoken words. On his part, the rapper announced he would sue the mayor and LR deputy Eric Ciotti for defamation. He refers to the comments as "imaginary" and "misunderstood words".

Une nouvelle étape vers l’infâme a été franchie par le rappeur Freeze Corleone.

Cette insinuation sur l’attentat de Nice est immonde.
