According to our information, the police were alerted by a neighbor of the couple.
They arrived at the artist's home around 6:45 p.m., in the 18th arrondissement, not far from the Lamarck-Caulaincourt station.
They are greeted by the couple's 20-year-old son, who allows them to enter the home.

But the police, given the seriousness of the facts, decided to arrest the rapper and place him in police custody at the 18th arrondissement police station.
He was heard this Thursday afternoon by the investigators, tells us his lawyer, Me Jonathan Khalifa.
Doc Gynéco is the author of one of the major albums of French rap,

The latter will tell the story of their relationship in a novel,
Le Marché des amants
, released in 2008.
