A lot has changed, La Fouine. From now on, the rapper from Trappes, in Yvelines, will meet in a five-star establishment on 1Ahem district of Paris, the Hôtel Costes. In the mid-2000s, he was more of one of those who gave the address of a kebab or a square where he used to meet his friends at night. Recognizable by his goatee braided like that of a pharaoh, he arrived in his city car, with a Lorie song playing at full volume on the car radio. I will be (your best friend).
Laouni Mouhid, from the Civil Registry, who was nicknamed La Fouine for her slender figure, was not afraid of ridicule. He took turns constantly, assuming his taste for variety. In his raps, he recounts his years as a petty criminal in From the farm, called to raise our heads in Hamdoulah is fineHe dreamed of an orderly life with his beloved, I fell in love with her EITHER my best.
Before Soprano, Gims, Disiz or Damso, I knew that rap would become the new French variety, singing the choruses as much as rapping them. “Its suburban variety”, as he called it, it earned him first ridicule and then, very quickly, the respect of his peers as the platinum records piled up.

Fifteen years later, this recognition is still relevant today. On April 25, La Fouine returned to the stage of the Théâtre du Châtelet for the Flammes ceremony, which awards rap, dancehall and R’n’B artists. Accompanied by violinists, he then offered a medley of his old hits. At the same time, he scheduled two concerts (sold out) for April 2025 at the Accor Arena in Paris and published, on November 22, Crime Capital Radio, a new album with the young generation of rap.
La Fouine returns, therefore, completely transformed. The jovial young man, who looked like a great dad at 1.98 meters tall, has become an imposing hunk, worthy of MMA champions. With a well-trimmed beard, the forty-year-old has doubled his build and appears completely calmer. In one of Costes’ salons, Trappes’ friends are still there and wisely accompany Laouni on his return to work. In the mid-2010s, La Fouine disappeared from radar screens.
Hit by an Internet confrontation with his former friend the rapper Booba, with whom he had recorded the duet stay like a dog The resident of Ile-de-France went to live in the United States. The verbal joust had left the artistic field. In 2013, the two rappers came to blows and were filmed fighting in the parking lot of their shared residence in Miami. The same year, La Fouine was even criticized when he returned home after an evening in which he had just released his fifth album. Fun trip. A year later, the case was dismissed.
