JOJ 2026 : le gros regret de King Baba
The organizers of the 2026 Youth Olympic Games have announced the lineup of artists who will perform at the event. King Baba, despite his popularity, is not among the Senegalese artists selected. While he insists he harbors "no jealousy towards the chosen artists," the rapper confesses his disappointment. "With the Youth Olympic Games approaching, which will be held for the first time on Senegalese soil," he explains in an interview published this Thursday in L'Observateur, "I feel both pride and a certain regret."
King Baba elaborated: “I regret that this exceptional showcase could have been an opportunity to highlight a greater diversity of artists, sensibilities, generations, and genres, reflecting the true richness of our cultural scene. […] My reflection is not individual, it is collective. Senegal is brimming with talent, both established and emerging, male and female, capable together of telling the world a broader, more nuanced, and more authentic story of our cultural identity.”
