“Ninho: The Price to Pay” follows the French rapper as he reflects on a career marked by record sales and major live shows, including filling the Stade de France twice. Though he is a major figure in French rap, Ninho rarely gives interviews and is less familiar to the wider public, according to the article.
In the Netflix documentary, Ninho discusses the difficult side of his success, including alleged schemes within the rap industry, attempted extortion and pressure that overshadowed moments of triumph. His friend Yanis Tiliouine, who has filmed him since the beginning of his career, proposed the project to explain why the rapper is considering bringing his career to an end after ten years of activity.
Tiliouine directed the film alongside Thibaut de Longeville, whose previous work includes the 2024 documentary series “DJ Mehdi: Made in France,” broadcast on Arte.
