Moroccan Fans Call for Boycott of Tunisian Rapper Balti Over Polisario Flag Controversy

Targeted by calls for a boycott, the concert of Tunisian rapper Balti in Rabat is at risk of being canceled. Many Internet users blame him for having displayed a Polisario flag alongside those of the Maghreb countries in support of Algerian singer Soolking, who was prevented from performing in Morocco.

Balti unwanted in Morocco. On the web, Moroccan Internet users do not forgive him for his support for Soolking. He had displayed a Polisario flag alongside those of the Maghreb countries in support of the Algerian singer when he was prevented from performing in Morocco. In 2019, Soolking had brandished the Algerian, Moroccan and Sahrawi flags during a concert in Bilbao, Spain, thus provoking the anger of many Moroccan Internet users who attacked him on social networks.

Will Balti perform in Morocco? Moroccan Internet users have launched a campaign calling for the cancellation of the Tunisian rapper’s concert at the Mawazine 2024 festival, scheduled for June 26. They are asking the authorities not to allow him to perform in Morocco.
