France: Booba reignites his feud with Mbappé ahead of the Ballon d’Or
In France, Booba reignited his verbal assault on Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. In a widely shared Instagram story, the rapper labeled the French forward as “pretentious and arrogant” and suggested that any potential Ballon d’Or award would be granted primarily for commercial reasons.
The artist specifically claimed that a victory could be used to “sell jerseys.” He also accused FIFA of corruption. These assertions are entirely Booba’s opinion: his message does not provide any evidence to substantiate them.
The remarks quickly circulated on football-related accounts before being picked up by La Nouvelle Tribune and Foot Mercato. This continues the rapper’s public jabs at the captain of the French national team, who is now at the center of a new narrative intertwining celebrity, sport, and social media.
The message comes as Kylian Mbappé outlines his ambitions for the Ballon d’Or. The award is organized by France Football, not by FIFA, which Booba targeted in his story. The winner of the 2026 edition is set to be revealed on October 26.
