Full house for "Zombie". In just a few days, this clip that impresses internet users has garnered over 1 million views on YouTube. In this video, we see a character playing the role of rapper Gnawi in an interrogation room facing the authorities. Lyrically, the single conveys a beautiful message.
In October 2022, the court of first instance in Salé had sentenced rapper Mounir Gnawi for "multiple assaults, public drunkenness and insults against police officers in the performance of their duties". On social networks, his fans have launched the hashtag #freegnawi, to call for the release of the performer of Vive le peuple ("Aach al chaab", in Moroccan dialect).
