In 2014, he released his first solo album, entitled Les yeux plus gros que le monde, which shortly after was certified diamond.
With the group Sexion d'Assaut, Black M released two studio albums: L'École des points vitaux (2010)[4] and L'Apogée (2012),[5] two mixtapes: Les Chroniques du 75 (2009) and En attendant L'Apogée: les Chroniques du 75 (2011),[6] two street albums: Le Renouveau (2008) and L'Écrasement de tête (2009),[7] a mixtape: La Terre Du Milieu (2006), a reissue (2012), a live album: L'Apogée à Bercy (2012),[8] three DVDs and a compilation: Best Of (2013).
[9] On 31 March 2014, Black M released his first solo album entitled Les yeux plus gros que le monde,[10] relatively well received by the specialized press,[11] sold 530,000 copies in December 2002 and certified diamond disc.
He thus participates in the soundtrack of the film The New Adventures of Aladdin featuring Kev Adams,[17] or on the compilation Touche pas à ma zik by Tefa and Cyril Hanouna.
[27] Since 2009, Black M has shared his life with Léa Djadja, image consultant and professional makeup artist whom he met on the set of the first "Wati bon son" clip of Sexion d'Assaut.
[30] The Sexion d'Assaut group, of which Black M is a part, was accused in 2010 of homophobia,[31] which led to bans on the air by Fun Radio and NRJ, as well as requests for the cancellation of concerts and its participation in 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards.
[34] He was criticized for lyrics to songs from Sexion d'Assaut anti-French ("conne de France", "moi aussi je baiserai la France" in 2010, and "ce pays de kouffar"), or homophobic ("il est grand temps que les pédés périssent”in 2006), even if for the latter, the LGBT community centre considered the controversy closed in 2011 after Sexion d'Assaut amended by collaborating with associations fighting against homophobia.
The conservative newspaper Le Figaro questioned the very relevance of a festive event of any kind to commemorate the death of 300,000 people.
[37] The town hall canceled the concert on the grounds of the risk of disturbing public order following the controversy and a "surge of hatred and racism", the mayor having been physically threatened by appeals and considering himself let down by the government.
[38] The Secretary of State for Veterans Affairs, Jean-Marc Todeschini, declared on television that the cancellation of the Black M concert was "a first step towards totalitarianism, towards fascism".
[39] In reaction, Black M evoked his grandfather, a Senegalese Tirailleur, who fought during the Second World War and deplored the “hate speech” he received.
[42] Le Monde then published a document which concerns a 1st class soldier named Alfa Diallo who served well in the 14th Senegalese infantry regiment and was repatriated to the free zone after being captured by the German army.
