Fianso announces its gradual withdrawal from French rap
The rapper Sofiane, better known as Fianso, recently made a statement that may disappoint his fans. In an exchange with her followers on Instagram, the artist talked about her future in the music industry.
A change of course
Since the release of his album "La Direction" in 2020, Fianso has become more discreet on the rap scene. He did participate in some collaborations and released a new episode of his series "JeSuisPasséChezSo" last year, but his musical activity has slowed down significantly. In parallel, he has invested a lot in cinema and television since 2018.
When asked about the possibility of releasing new songs, Fianso answered with frankness: "I come back from time to time for fun, but the place is for the younger today.
That’s the order of things, and it’s fine as it is." He added that he wanted to leave "head high, with his cups and medals", thus fulfilling his dream.
The end of an era
This announcement marks a turning point in Sofiane’s career. The artist has clearly expressed his intention not to release another album, preferring to withdraw gradually from the world of music. He leaves however the possibility to release occasionally some unpublished "just for fun".
Despite his personal retirement, Fianso wanted to reassure his fans about the future of his label Affranchis Music, which will continue to produce new talents. The rapper believes he has "made the rounds" of his musical career and now wants to focus on other projects. Fianso’s decision reflects a natural evolution in an artist’s career, giving priority to quality over quantity and leaving room for a new generation of rappers.
