Aya Nakamura Proves Why She’s France’s Biggest Star at the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony

Her standout performance comes after months of speculation and controversy over her Olympic appearance. After what seemed like months of anticipation, Aya Nakamura left it all on the stage for the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris. The global star went for the gold—literally—to kick off this year’s Summer Games in Dior Haute Couture.

The singer performed a mash-up of her hits “Pookie” and “Djadja” alongside a crew of dancers, also dressed in Dior, and a live band courtesy of France’s Republican Guard. [Live Video]

Nakamura’s performance comes after months of controversy over whether she would appear in the opening ceremony. While she is the most-streamed Francophone musician in the world, racist naysayers argued that her Malian roots should bar her from being part of Paris’s official Olympic celebrations—even though she sings entirely in French and stands as one of France’s most popular recording artists.
