Kendji Girac, the 27-year-old French singer who won The Voice 2014, was recently injured by a gunshot while handling a Colt 45 that he purchased at a flea market. Despite the speculation, Girac’s family insists that the incident was simply an accident and not related to any gang activity.
Girac’s family has stated that they believe their son’s injury was a tragic accident and not connected to his Catalan gypsy heritage or any criminal activities. They have requested that people refrain from making assumptions about their son’s situation based solely on his background.
The incident occurred at a nomadic camp in Biscarrosse, where Girac was staying at the time. An investigation has been opened, but no details have been released by the Mont-de-Marsan Prosecutor’s Office yet. Police received a call about the gunshot wound around 5:30 AM, and by the time they arrived, Girac was already en route to Haut-Leveque hospital in Pessac.
Girac rose to fame unexpectedly when a video of him performing a cover of a hit song went viral in 2013. He went on to win The Voice in 2014 and has since achieved significant success in the music industry. Songs like “Color Gitano” and “Andalouse” have garnered millions of views on platforms like YouTube.
