Booba Sparks Controversy by Mentioning Olivier Giroud in PSG Celebration

Paris, March 2025 – The Paris Saint-Germain’s triumph in the Champions League final against Munich set off celebrations across France, including a notable reaction from French rapper Booba. A fervent PSG supporter, Booba took to social media to express his delight, but his comments have sparked debate.

Booba’s ecstatic celebration of PSG’s win

Following PSG’s decisive 5-0 victory, Booba shared his excitement on social media, noting the surreal feeling and the remarkable multiverse of events surrounding the win. He highlighted various scenarios, including DD entering to “Dolce Camara,” Oussmane’s advocacy for the hijab, and Luis Enrique dedicating the win to his granddaughter, while humorously mentioning Marseille fans purchasing Inter Milan jerseys.

Controversial comments involving Olivier Giroud

Booba’s message, however, took a controversial turn when he commented on France’s multiculturalism, suggesting that a team composed entirely of players like Olivier Giroud, France’s all-time top scorer, wouldn’t be successful. He concluded with a congratulatory note to the team and a nod to unity in sports, but the remarks were met with backlash.

Reactions from the public were swift, with many accusing Booba of perpetuating racial stereotypes. The rapper, known for his outspoken nature and history of stirring the pot, found himself at the center of a heated discussion online.
