| 總結: | This paper examines the way in which a rap song (“Coller la petite”), originally intended to get people dancing, subsequently became an issue of public controversy. It recontextualizes the song’s trajectory and highlights the complexity of the issues at stake. The “Coller la petite affair” is envisaged as an avenue for analysing what the original scandal tells us about the way in which contemporary rappers create public discussion about gender issues. Secondly, it shows how this case informs the politicisation of music in political governance in Cameroon. Specifically, it discusses how a moral perspective was used by politicians by assuming that the State sought to take advantage of the “Coller la petite affair” with a view to legitimise the State’s morality in the public space. |
