The death of Werenoi, on May 17, with only 31 years, left a void in the hearts of his fans and conflicts in his entourage.
A young woman, who appears as a companion of Werenoi, filed a complaint at the end of May against the rapper producer, Le Parisien reveals this Friday. A judicial investigation is being carried out for “aggravated flight” and “extortion”. She accuses Babiry Sacko, “Babs”, the producer of Werenoi, of having attacked her in a chicha bar, a few days after the rapper’s death, to claim a large sum of money, between 1 and 2 million euros.
For its part, the producer assures the Parisian that the plaintiff was not a fellow of Werenoi but “a professional relationship, a real estate agent” and that she would have “disappeared with a million euros belonging to Werenoi.”
It also indicates “think” of “file complaint against the accuser”. “We live in hell. I will not let it escape,” he adds.
“I was already talking about money”
Producer Babs has the support of Werenoi’s father, who published a message on Instagram on Thursday that emphasizes that it is “a pillar for the family.” “From the game of Jérémy (the real name of Werenoi, note of the editor), it is he who supports everyone, takes care of the expenses and organizes the next events in his memory,” he said.
The fortune of the young rapper, the largest album seller in France in 2023 and 2024, seems in any case to provoke the lust.
On May 24, a few days after his death, Werenoi’s mother had published a quite mysterious message on Facebook, evoking “vampires.” “Some relatives really disappointed me,” he wrote.
“Not even buried between hospital filtration already talked about the mystical money of fantastic plots! Hey takes everything and returns me to my son of ****.”
The Werenoi label, PLR Music, requested on June 10 to meet on January 30, 2026, the date of his birthday, to pay tribute. “This moment will not be a farewell. It will be a meeting. A celebration of his life, his career, his art. A tribute in his own way: sincere, intense, without problems. And therefore, we cannot do it without you, his fans, the league.”
