It was a record-breaking week for French rap. After 97,816 people attended Jul's concert at the Stade de France near Paris on Saturday, April 26, surpassing the attendance record set by the band Indochine in 2022, Ninho has become the first French-language rapper to fill the stadium on two consecutive nights on Friday, May 2, and Saturday, May 3.

Unlike Jul's spectacular entrance on the roof of the Stade de France last week, Ninho made his arrival by car in the pit at 8:30 pm. The rapper took to the stage to perform around 60 tracks, which is still fewer than his 100 singles certified at least platinum, another record achieved by Ninho in 2023 after just four albums.
