Monday October 10, 2022, Orelsan was invited on the set of C à vous, on France 5. On the occasion of the release of the second season of the documentary series Never show that to anyone, on Prime Video, the rapper mentioned his wedding.
For more than ten years, Orelsan has shared the life of Ahélya Randriambolaina. In love, the couple got married last year. On October 31, 2021, in the columns of Le Parisien, the rapper had revealed that due to the health crisis, the couple had said ‘yes’ to each other in a small committee. “In the meantime, the Covid has arrived and we have adapted. We did a little private thing“, he had declared. In the song The quest, Orelsan had modestly evoked his union with the woman of his life. “My brother films when I put on the ring, my sister animates the wedding“, he sings. On Thursday, October 13, 2022, Prime Video will release the second season of the documentary series Never show that to anyone. In the first episode of this one, fans will be able to discover images of the wedding of the rapper, yet very modest when it comes to his private life…”The emotion, I really experienced it whereas I generally experience my emotions after a while (…) At the time, everything stresses me out, and it’s afterwards, with hindsight, that I tell myself that there’s a symbol in there“, he explains in an excerpt.
Monday October 10, 2022, Orelsan went to the set of C à vous, on France 5. Accompanied by his brother Clément Cotentin, the artist declared: “You might think it’s in people mode, like, I put my marriage, but he really has a justification.” To which his brother added: “It’s in relation to the song La Quête in fact. Orel is blocked, he is looking for the end of this song. There’s his wedding, which happened a month before and it’s this memory of the wedding, after he had had time to digest it, because on his wedding day, he was a little panicked. That’s what allows him to unlock this song.” Finally, Clément Cotentin added: “It was our course of action to tell ourselves that if it helps to understand his music, we put it, and if it’s just to put intimate images it’s not worth it.Orelsan said:It’s a bit hard to understand it like that, but in the middle of the album, there is my wedding. If Clem had said to me: ‘I’m going to put the wedding in the doc’, I would have said no, and there when we see it in the story, it makes sense.“
Orelsan: “Everyone tells us that we look alike”
In 2018, the rapper had dedicated the title Heaven at Ahelya Randriambolaina. For the Swiss daily, Le Matin, he said: “We were having a cool evening together, and I said to myself ‘come on, I’m going for it’ and I made him listen. She was happy, it made me happy. Because, imagine if she had been uncomfortable, it would have been awkward.“At the same time, it was for the Parisian that he had revealed about his companion:”We met on MSN long before, at the time of my first album. We didn’t go out right away. Everyone tells us that we look alike. She’s pretty calm, we come from the same area, I’m happy to go home, to find someone with whom I’m good.“
