Rapper Millésime K is “not welcome” in Dijon, says the town hall

The "far right" rapper Millésime K, whose tour of France entitled "Patriot" has sparked controversy in many cities, is "not welcome" in Dijon where he is to perform on Saturday, said this Friday the city.

"He is not welcome in Dijon because he is spreading an openly racist and homophobic message of hatred that is completely contrary to the values ​​held by our city," said Dijon's first socialist deputy, Nathalie Koenders, in a tweet. The arrival of the rapper is announced on his site as being “in Dijon on April 15 at 9:00 p.m.”, the ticket office being open. The singer did not respond to requests from AFP.

The Greens of Côte d'Or have for their part asked the prefecture to ban the concert of the "extreme right rapper, known for his openly racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic texts", according to a letter from environmentalists. "Like Grenoble, Lille, Lyon and Montpellier, he is not welcome in Dijon, or even in Côte-d'Or", assure the Greens. In the North, the concert was finally held about twenty kilometers from Lille, according to La Voix du Nord.

“Like Grenoble, we want his concert to be canceled. To do this, we call on the owners of concert halls, or any other establishment hosting events, in Dijon and its outskirts, to check the nature of the reservations for their hall (s)”, add the Greens, recalling that, in several cities including Montpellier, the owners of rooms were "duped when booking". When questioned, the prefecture did not comment.

A collective of unions, organizations and anti-fascist formations also protested against the arrival of the rapper. "Its goal is to multiply calls for hatred against Muslim communities, LGBT, etc.," said the collective in a column entitled "no stage for fascism". "Far-right aggression and terrorism is on the rise everywhere and Millésime K's lyrics clearly call for it, it's time to stop it!"

With more than 700,000 subscribers on TikTok, Millésime K is particularly known for his songs "tricolor" or "Jeanne d'Arc" defending "the French" and asking those who do not like France to "clear".
