French Rapper Werenoi Passes Away Suddenly at 31

French rapper Werenoi, whose real name was Jérémy Bana Owona, has sadly passed away at just 31 years old. He died suddenly on May 17, 2025, in a Paris hospital after experiencing a rapid health decline. While the exact cause of his death hasn’t been officially confirmed, reports suggest it was linked to a cardio-respiratory arrest.
Werenoi first made waves in the French music scene in 2021 with his breakout single “Guadalajara.” Over the next few years, he released three albums—Carré in 2023, Pyramide in 2024, and Diamant Noir in 2025—that earned him widespread praise for his honest lyrics and vivid storytelling about life in the suburbs. Despite his growing fame, he kept his private life mostly out of the spotlight.
His music struck a chord with many, making him the best-selling artist in France for both 2023 and 2024. Werenoi’s talent also led to collaborations with big names like Damso, Ninho, and Aya Nakamura, which further boosted his reputation in the French rap world.
Since his passing, fans and fellow artists have flooded social media with heartfelt tributes. Producer Babs shared a touching message, calling him his brother and expressing his love. Pop star Aya Nakamura, who worked with Werenoi, offered her condolences, and singer Pascal Obispo praised his meaningful music and powerful melodies.

“What is your body count? The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, leave me speechless and break my heart. While some people would say, ‘Enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now,’ I don’t — that includes sexually.”
“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part; nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. Sex and other sexual activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this.”

“Afrobeats Has Stalled” – Amaarae Hails Rema’s ‘HEIS’ for Pushing Boundaries

Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae goes viral after sharing her thoughts on the current state of Afrobeats, stating that the genre has stalled.
She expressed concern about how Afrobeats is becoming too repetitive and urged artists to experiment with new sounds.
“Afrobeats and African music need to evolve. It needs to evolve in a direction that is fearless, and I think right now artists have made so much money from a certain type of sound that they are afraid to step out of the boundaries because they are probably more focused on the financial aspect of it. And as a result, I think Afrobeats has stalled.”
The singer then gave an example, commenting on how Rema did just that with his recent album “HEIS”.
