They called it "the night of solidarity". And the title was far from overused. At the end of the last concert of their tour, before a well-deserved break, the Toulouse rappers Bigflo and Oli paid a big check to Secours populaire.

For several months, the two brothers had explained that the profits from their last Zenith in Toulouse would be for the benefit of the association of which they are the sponsors. A date which was sold out and which allowed them to collect no less than 500,000 euros, thanks to the 11,000 fans present from all over France and elsewhere.

Yesterday we donated half a million euros to @secourspop!
Thanks to the audience for the latest concert on the tour! If you cannot give money, try to give time, if only for an hour a month, for a cause that is close to your heart ❣ unforgettable evening pic.twitter.com/mapq5III4J

It is not the first time that they have made this kind of operation for the benefit of the Secours populaire, in 2018 during a concert at the Bikini they had already made a check for 30,000 euros. A way for them to give back what the association brought them when they had difficult days.

Yesterday, our sponsors @bigfloetoli ended their tour in style with a #NuitSolidaire for the @SecoursPop.
€ 500,000 was donated by the artists! A huge thank you to them, their team and all of our # volunteers mobilized!
