Is it in any way real? The reference provided for this is this interview, but I don’t speak French so I can’t check if it’s true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6zzkPKLZgQ

Okay, I used automatic subtitles and here is the excerpt when he says that his father is Guadelopian and his mother is from Ethiopia, more specifically originally from Eritrea:

I always thought he was Mauritian
Same, but it seems like it was false. At least in the interview he didn’t mention anything about it…
