The rapper is stirring up controversy due to his overweight status…
Relatively quiet on the music front lately, Lartiste hasn’t been idle, instead, he’s been hitting up festivals and showcases. It’s actually one of his recent stage appearances that’s thrust him back into the limelight. But this spotlight isn’t due to a new hit, but rather because of his weight.

A noticeable absence
Lartiste seems to have taken a break in his music career, especially in terms of projects. His latest album, “Comme avant,” was released in 2020. Since then, the artist has only released a few singles and music videos, including “Cleopatra,” the latest of which was unveiled in July 2023. Since then, the Parisian rapper has been making fewer and fewer public appearances, aside from occasional showcases or festival gigs. However, one of his recent stage performances has caused quite a stir. And it’s not because of his music.
Lartiste under fire due to his weight
Indeed, unlike other rappers, Lartiste has always had a typical physique, without prominent muscles or bulging biceps. Slim in stature, the rapper seems to have succumbed to culinary temptations, as he took to the stage for his latest showcase with several extra pounds. This appearance did not go unnoticed, and he’s now facing criticism.
Fans and internet users haven’t missed this opportunity to highlight his significant weight gain. In fact, in this footage, his transformation is quite clear.
