Fighting incivilities: this is the new mission of the rapper “Kaotik 747.” This morning, accompanied by cleanliness agents from Nice, he filmed a music video on the Promenade des Anglais.
As part of his new song “Papa,” the rapper Kaotik 747, whose real name is Karim Bouchagour, joined the cleaning teams of the city of Nice for 2 days.
This immersion allowed him to witness the challenges of this profession.
After a first day with the maintenance teams, the rapper expressed his shock on his Instagram about the lack of respect and incivility. He said, “I saw cigarette butts, sanitary masks, and glass shards…”
He filmed household garbage in the Ariane neighborhood, amidst scooter carcasses and tires, expressing his dismay. “These are adults who do not give a damn about their impact on nature.”
This father states his wish to offer a healthy planet to his children. Through his project, he attempts to raise public awareness about environmental issues. At the end of this experience, in his way, he decided to protest.
Thus, on Friday at dawn, wearing his “Without weapons, or hate, or violence” t-shirt, he met with the city’s maintenance teams to shoot his new video on the Promenade des Anglais.
On this iconic boulevard, approximately 6 tons of waste are collected daily.
Adored by the right, the 38-year-old rapper from Nice became known on social media for his support of the police. Christian Estrosi and Bernard Gonzalez have shown him their support.
In 2019, he released “Projet 18,” which tells the story of a teenager bullied because his father is a police officer. Members of the police forces participated in the video, and the municipality financed 10,000€ of the cost.
Recently, the choice of rapper Youssoupha to perform the anthem for the French team during Euro 2022 was contested by the right and far-right, who expressed their wish to replace him with “Kaotik 747” and his song “Allons enfants de la patrie.”
