For weeks, a virtual war has been going on between rapper Booba and reality TV popess Magali Berdah.
Insults, threats and accusations animate social networks.
The "Duke of Boulogne", targeted by a complaint for harassment, announced that he wanted to sue the influencer.
Since May, the two public figures have been clashing on social networks.
Elie Yaffa, better known for his stage name Booba, is a regular at these "cyber-clashes".
This time, his target is not a rapper, but France's most famous influencer agent: Magali Berdah, director of the Shauna Events agency and columnist for the show "Touche pas à mon poste! ".
A virtual battle
Booba's fight began with mockery and attacks on Magali Berdah's Jewish faith, then continued recently with more virulent publications, such as the sharing of rumors about a fake sex tape by the influencer.

Magali Berdah therefore decided to file a complaint for "cyberharassment" and "slanderous denunciation" against the rapper and at the same time obtained the closure of her Instagram account.
The exchanges have since continued on Twitter, where Booba announced on July 15 that he had started legal proceedings to recover his account.

The hunt for #influencers
The confrontation has recently changed in nature and takes place on the politico-judicial field.
With his hashtag #influvoleurs, Booba embarked on a crusade against the scams of influencers represented by Magali Berdah.
He says he has collected "hundreds of testimonials" on the sale of products that are supposed to be fraudulent or sold outside the regulatory framework.
In his press release of July 15, he and his lawyer Patrick Klugman warn of taking "administrative and criminal action" in this case.

The accusations relate in particular to the absence of stocks of products before they are sold, to their sometimes dubious quality and to another extent to the promotion of scams, targeting the personal training account, the CPF.
“We will stop when you are in prison for all your scams and for all the harm you are doing to the youth”, commented Booba on Twitter.
Magali Berdah firmly denies having recourse to these practices.
On Tuesday, the Twitter account of the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire published a thread on the subject of online scams.
“Online scams must stop and no one is above the law,” it read.
Online scams must stop and the government is determined to continue to protect French consumers.

Coincidence or not, Booba hastened to share it again by mentioning Magali Berdah.
He promises revelations and continues for the time being to feed his account with accusatory messages.
