“SHOCKING: SDM disappears from Victoires de la Musique nominations – you won’t believe what happened next!”.

Originally nominated in the category of “Song of the Year” with “German Bolide” at the 2024 Victoires de la Musique, SDM has been removed from the list.

A refusal to perform live
Since Tuesday, January 23, the public has been able to vote to elect the original song of the year. In this category, there is Clara Ysé with “Sweet”, Pierre de Maere with “Child of”, Zaho de Sagazan with “The Symphony of Lightning”, Louane with “Secret” and SDM with “German Bolide”.

At the time of the vote, internet users noticed the absence of SDM. The 28-year-old rapper was removed by the event organizers following his refusal to perform live during the ceremony. This decision is in accordance with the rules of the Victoires de la Musique. Each artist nominated in the “Song of the Year” category must perform on stage so that the public can judge them.

In the past, SDM has already criticized the Victoires de la Musique when Pierre de Maere won the 2022 Male Revelation award over Tiakola and his album “Mélo”. “Rap artists, we are not respected. We have to stop. It’s too serious. I’m fed up. One of the biggest sellers of the year 2022, but he loses to Pierrot brother,” SDM declared on his Instagram account at the time.

As a reminder, the 2024 Victoires de la Musique ceremony will take place on February 9 at the Seine Musicale..
