French rapper Naps, known for his songs C’est carré le S and La Kiffance, is suspected of raping a woman in October 2021 while she was asleep in a hotel room

French rapper Naps has been ordered by an investigating judge to be tried for rape before the Paris Departmental Criminal Court in France

The musician, known for his songs C’est carré le S and La Kiffance, is suspected of raping a woman in October 2021 while she was asleep in a hotel room in Paris. Naps, real name Nabil Boukhobza, was indicted in October of that same year and placed under judicial supervision.

Boukhobza, 32, denies the accusation against him, with his lawyer Nabil Boudi saying: "Naps contests [these accusations] in their entirety, with the greatest firmness." He said he had appealed the investigating magistrate’s order, issued on May 15.

The case first started when there was a complaint filed in October 2021. The complaint had "a young woman explain that she had spent the previous evening in an establishment in the 9th arrondissement" and then "had been invited with friends to the table of the rapper Naps," as explained by the Paris prosecutor’s office.

"They then followed him to his room in a hotel near the Gare de Lyon, which was gradually left by the rapper’s friends. The young woman had fallen asleep and one said she had been woken up by sexual intercourse to which she had not consented."

When the investigation first started, Naps took to his Instagram account to "obviously contest" the accusations. "I see in the press the rumours that circulate and recirculate... it sullies my name when I have done nothing, I have not even been contacted by the police, I do not even know what it is really about," he said. 

Boukhobza comes from the Bel Air suburb of Marseille and started rapping when he was only 15 years old. Two years later, he formed Click 11.43 with two other rappers, KOFS and Sahime. The group had a big following and he later went on to release solo music and collaborated with many other musicians. His song C’est carré le S reached number one in France, along with La Kiffance and 6.3.
