Rapper SDM was nominated in the “Song of the Year” category, before disappearing from the voting page.
The start of a controversy? Nominated in the Original Song category with the title Bolide Allemand, SDM suddenly disappeared from the list of artists competing at the next Victoires de la Musique, which will take place on February 9. This category is – it is the only one – subject to public votes. However, as several media outlets have noted, including the X account (formerly Twitter) BOP, the artist no longer appears on the page dedicated to these votes, alongside his competitors, Clara Ysé, Pierre de Maere, Zaho de Sagazan and Louane. It is therefore no longer possible to vote for Bolide Allemand and its approximately 118 million plays on Spotify…
On the same social network, journalist Emilie Mazoyer suggests that the disappearance of SDM from the list of nominees for the Victoires would follow “his refusal to perform live at the ceremony”, an essential condition to be fulfilled by the artists claiming the trophy. For the moment, SDM has not expressed itself clearly on the subject, contenting itself with re-sharing on two.”
