Kendji Girac, a 27-year-old French singer who won the 2014 edition of ‘The Voice France’, recently suffered a gunshot wound while handling a Colt 45 that he had purchased at a flea market. Despite speculation that the incident may be related to gang activity, Girac’s family insists that it was an accident.
Girac was rushed to the Haut-Leveque hospital in Pessac after receiving a call about his condition around 5:30 AM. An investigation has been launched into the incident, but no details have been released by the Mont-de-Marsan Prosecutor’s Office yet. The shooting occurred at a nomadic camp in Biscarrosse, where Girac was staying at the time.
Kendji Maille, originally from Perigueux, is of Catalan gypsy heritage and rose to fame through a viral video of him performing a cover of a hit song in 2013. He went on to win ‘The Voice France’ in 2014 and has since achieved significant success in the music industry. Songs such as “Color Gitano” and “Andalouse” have garnered millions of views on platforms like YouTube.
