Comedian Jamel Debbouze Booed at Marrakech Concert Over World Cup Stance

As Congolese rapper Gims introduced Jamel Debbouze as a surprise guest at the "Stars in the place" mega international concert held on Jamaâ El Fna Square in Marrakech on Friday, the Franco-Moroccan comedian was booed by the audience. He is being criticized for refusing to support his country of origin during the World Cup by wearing a France and Morocco jersey in the semi-final of the World Cup.

The match between the Atlas Lions and the Blues in Qatar had put many Franco-Moroccans in an awkward position. At the end of the match, France won painfully against Morocco (2-0).
