This is the first time that the rapper has remained so long without news of his brother Florian, alias Flo. “It’s been years since we’ve been so far apart.

Among the highlights of his days with the Vézos, the rapper remembers the time it took for “open to each other“.

So it reinforced this gaze and this step back“, he says before adding that he now has another “relation to water“. “I was shocked when I saw how the Vézos were going to get some. Thanks to my parents’ education, I’ve always been careful, but now I think about it even more…“
