French rapper Booba has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled performance at the Senegal vs. Peru international friendly match. The event is set to take place at the Stade de France on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
Organizers announced that the artist, whose real name is Elie Yaffa, sustained a serious injury, making him unable to perform. The specific nature of the injury was not detailed in the public statement.
The concert was planned as part of the pre-match festivities for the high-profile friendly between the two national teams. No replacement performer has been announced at this time.
The match itself proceeds as scheduled, with fans now expecting the sporting event without the previously planned musical entertainment from one of France's most prominent rap figures.
