Booba’s Provocative Commentary: Unpacking His Verbal Jabs at Abidal and Mbappé in ‘Ad vitam aeternam

In his recently released album, “Ad vitam aeternam,” on February 9, 2024, Booba, the French rapper, takes aim at several well-known French and international figures, including actor Gérard Depardieu, singer Dua Lipa, and notably, two prominent footballers: Éric Abidal and Kylian Mbappé.

Within a track titled “Abidal,” Booba criticizes the former Barcelona player, specifically referencing his infidelity with the line, “I cheat on my wife, I’m like Abidal.”

Shifting his focus to PSG’s star striker, Kylian Mbappé, Booba, known for past clashes with fellow rappers, delivers a sharp attack via Twitter. His tweet reads, “@KMbappe it’s not a clash; you’re overrated, useless, a tool of the system. Zero Champions League, zero positions taken (like most). Go to Real Madrid to learn life with Vinicius. Good luck. 🏴‍☠️”

This verbal assault extends on Booba’s Twitter account, where the 47-year-old rapper expresses his perspective that Mbappé is overrated, useless, and merely a puppet of the system. Booba suggests a move to Real Madrid for the French striker to gain life experiences with Vinicius, concluding with a somewhat provocative wish of good luck.

These unexpected comments from Booba are surprising, given the absence of any prior clashes or animosity between the rapper and the PSG captain. Some speculate that these provocations may be related to the anticipated departure of Kylian Mbappé from PSG at the end of the season.

As of now, Kylian Mbappé has not responded to Booba’s provocations, as he remains focused on an upcoming crucial Champions League match against Real Sociedad on Wednesday, February 14.
