Saad Lamjarred Sentence Challenges Fame
Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred was sentenced to ten years in prison in June 2023 in a rape case dating back to 2016, after a French court found him guilty of raping someone inside a hotel in Paris. The sentence had previously been increased from six to ten years, with the prosecutor requesting an eight-year sentence. Lamjarred maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the verdict before the Court of Cassation. Despite the legal rulings, his popularity remains strong, with more than 15 million followers on Instagram, and his song "Malam" has surpassed a billion views. The ruling raises questions about whether the public will continue to listen to his music after his conviction for rape. Other issues in Lamjarred’s legal saga include his 2018 conviction in France for rape, with ongoing trials and appeals. Supportive reactions have been expressed by artists and media figures, as controversy continues over the impact of his conviction on his career and fanbase.
