Lomepal

Antoine Valentinelli (born 4 December 1991 in Paris), better known by his stage name Lomepal, is a French rapper and singer from the 13th arrondissement of Paris. He has released five EPs, and three studio albums: Flip, released in June 2017, Jeannine, released in December 2018, both certified double platinum by the SNEP, and Mauvais Ordre, released in September 2022. His stage name comes from the fact that his friends always thought he was sick because of his pale complexion, hence Lomepal (for "the pale man"). His first stage name was Jo Pump. He is friends with the Belgian rapper Roméo Elvis, with whom he collaborated on the song "1000°C" for Lomepal's album Jeannine. In 2017, he performed more than a hundred live shows and received over 100 million views on his YouTube channel. On 8 December 2018, Lomepal released his second studio album Jeannine, titled after his grandmother who suffered from schizophrenia, from which he drew inspiration. Rather than focus on the suffering she underwent, he instead explored themes that use the illness as a power rather than a burden. On 25 October 2019, Lomepal released the album Amina. The album is essentially a deluxe version of his album Jeannine including all of its songs, with some having been remixed, replaced with a live/acoustic version or somehow modified. Lomepal's album Mauvais ordre was released in September of 2022. In July 2023, an instagram post alleged that Lomepal, among several other performers, were well known in the industry for making repeated and unwanted sexual advances. Also in 2023, an investigation was opened into a complaint of rape filed against him in 2020 over an incident from 2017. The Cabaret Vert festival canceled the concert at which Lomepal was scheduled to perform on August 17, 2023 due to the complaint.
