Koffi must be seething right now. 20 years ago, he wanted to play but could not, because the concert promoters, thought he would not fill it. Now, he is seeing his mentee playing at the stadium, while he is stuck at U Arena.

It will be an interesting challenge for him.

Is this official or fan assumption?

It’s not official. It are the influential people close to Fally and his fanatics posting it. They say that they are on the process of contacting Parc des Princes. The project already started after Bercy, them thinking about doing either a double Bercy or Parc des Princes, but wanted to wait first, after seeing how much damage the combattans created during his Bercy

This event would be good for our music. Me nephew said yesterday that Burns Boy is about to perform at the Olympic stadium of London (80.000 seats) this summer. So we have a long way to catch them up and Parc des Princes of Fally & Koffi’s U-Arena would be a good start of a comeback race

He should just be proud that his mentee  is exceeding him at least branding wise cause Fally's music is kinda bland that's what hiers should do surpass the master to have a better future I mean Congolese music is dying also because leader tried to block in every way the rise of their mentees which seemed fine on the short run but in the long run it killed our music There could have been thousands of Ferre and Fally yet except for Fabregas, Heritier and Robinio none of the guys from big group made it un the solo career, no BCBG guy no QL guy after Fally, how can a music genre can evolve like that?

Lol these leaders don’t care about legacy and the future of the genre(one of the country’s pride treasures) they just want to protect their position

concert promoters believed in Koffi and tried multiple times with his team and recordlabel to convince those people that manage Parc des Princes to let Koffi perform there. But those working at Parc des Princes kept refusing, coming with excuses like soccer-team Paris Saint Germain wants to repair their frield and the following year asking a big amount of money to get the venue reserved and when coming back, asking why Koffi isn't signed with a major and his music not being showed at channels like TF1 or France2, them not respecting him or taking serious. So after 4/5 years trying, Koffi became tired and finally abandoned the project. He was often reacting irritated and sometimes dissapointed when being asked about why the event at Parc des Princes never took place. Not after that they would close Parc des Princes for concerts in 2010 until making it open for it again 2020 but covid-19 messing everything up and in 2022 Dadju being the second artist to perform there since its re-opening for concerts.

It would have been a big challenge to fill the stadium for Koffi. The past years documents showed that no any Congolese artists had performed at Bercy with the full 17.000 capacity), them all performing in the 8.000 setting.
Also back at that time no any French rapper performed there. It was only a small portion of popstars who performed there since 1988, artists like Robbie Williams, Michael Jackson, U2, Johnny Hallyday, Prince and David Bowie. At that time Parc des Princes was even more mythic for concerts than the at that time new Stade de France, because of its historic concerts in music-history of Paris.

When Koffi started to make up for it for the first time in 2000. He wanted to use the same strategy of having just a few months gap between the release of Quartier Latin's album and his solo album. Planning Force de Frappe for november 2000 and Effrakata for june 2001, wanting to have some featerings with french-speaking popartists like he did in Attentat and to perform at Parc des Princes in july 2001. Knowing that it may be difficult to fill Parc des Princes he wanted to make from it like a kind of a festival, like the way Abeti Masikini performed at Zenith de Paris back in 1988. Abeti had mutilple guest (Pepe Kalle, King Kester Emeneya, Aurlus Mabele, etc.). Koffi already contacted Magic System, Extra Musica, Youssou Ndour, Meiway and MC Solaar who all agreed to participate and made an official poster with their name on it, as "la fete africaine"

I genuinely hope Fally will be able to play at Parc Des Princes it would be huge not only for him nut for Congolese music. European concerts need to make a full comeback already, it's been too long.
