French rapper Booba is back in legal hot water, this time accused of harassing Demdem, the longtime partner of fellow artist Gims. The case, filed in early 2025, adds to Booba’s growing list of controversies. We break down the allegations, the history behind the feud, and what this means for both artists’ careers. Spoiler: It’s messy.

What’s the Latest with Booba and Demdem?

Booba, the self-proclaimed "Duke of Boulogne," is no stranger to drama. But this latest lawsuit—filed by Demdem in January 2025—alleges a sustained campaign of online harassment, including derogatory posts and targeted attacks. Demdem, a fashion influencer and Gims’ partner, claims Booba’s actions caused "emotional distress" and harmed her brand collaborations. Legal experts suggest this could escalate into a defamation case if screenshots of deleted posts surface.

Why Does Booba Keep Ending Up in Court?

Honestly? The man thrives on conflict. From his decade-long feud with Kaaris (remember the airport brawl?) to calling out influencers for "fake flexing," Booba treats social media like a battlefield. This isn’t even his first harassment lawsuit—just last year, he settled a case with influencer Magali Berdah. But targeting Demdem? That’s personal. She and Gims have been together since before his rise to fame, making her arguably off-limits in rap’s unwritten code.

How’s Gims Responding?

Surprisingly quiet—for now. Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, hasn’t posted about the lawsuit publicly. But insiders claim he’s "furious" and consulting lawyers. The couple runs several joint ventures, including a cosmetics line, so any reputational damage hits their wallets too. If history repeats itself (à la Booba vs. Kaaris), we might see diss tracks instead of legal motions.

What’s the Financial Fallout?

Legal battles are expensive, but for Booba, it’s pocket change. His net worth is estimated at €20M+, thanks to savvy investments in tech startups and his clothing brand, Ünkut. Demdem, however, relies heavily on brand deals. If sponsors distance themselves, her income could take a hit. Worth noting: French courts recently ruled that "social media clout" has monetary value in harassment cases—a precedent that might work in her favor.

Could This Affect the French Rap Scene?

Absolutely. Booba’s influence is massive, but younger artists are tired of the toxicity. A loss here might embolden others to speak up. Meanwhile, Gims’ fanbase (Les Milans) is already flooding forums with #TeamDemdem hashtags. The cultural Ripple effect? Less "beef for clout," more accountability—maybe.

FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered

Is Booba going to jail over this?

Unlikely. French harassment laws typically result in fines unless physical threats are involved. But with Booba’s track record, judges might throw the book at him.

How long has this feud been brewing?

Since 2023, when Booba accused Gims of "selling out" for doing a collab with a soda brand. Demdem defended her man, and well… here we are.

What’s next legally?

Both sides will submit evidence—DMs, screenshots, maybe even witness testimonies from other artists. Settlement talks are probable.
