Kendji Girac, a 27-year-old singer who won the French edition of ‘The Voice 2014’, was recently injured by a gunshot while handling a Colt 45 that he had purchased at a flea market. Despite the speculation, his family insists that the incident was simply an accident and not related to any gang activity.
Originally from Perigueux, Kendji Maille was born into a family of Catalan gypsy heritage. He rose to fame unexpectedly when a video of him performing a cover of a hit song went viral in 2013. He went on to win The Voice in 2014 and has since achieved significant success in the music industry. Songs like “Color Gitano” and “Andalouse” have garnered millions of views on platforms like YouTube.
Police received a call about the gunshot wound around 5:30 AM, and Girac was already en route to the Haut-Leveque hospital in Pessac by the time they arrived. An investigation has been opened, but the Mont-de-Marsan Prosecutor’s Office has not released any details at this time. The incident occurred at a nomadic camp in Biscarrosse, where Girac was staying at the time.
