Kinshasa, January 29, 2026 (ACP). –Congolese singer Gandhi Djuna, known under the pseudonym Gims, called on his fans to show him sincere support, without excessive forms of adoration, in a message published on his social pages, consulted Thursday by the ACP.
« Your support and love touch me deeply, and I will always be grateful. But when I read words like “I adore you” or “the god of music”, even if it is said with affection, it makes me uncomfortable », Wrote the artist, explaining that he cannot spiritually recognize himself in this type of expression.
In this publication, the artist wanted to thank his audience for the constant love and attachment he enjoys. However, he expressed a certain discomfort with qualifiers that he considers incompatible with his spiritual convictions.
Gims recalled that he considers himself above all a human being, with his strengths and his limitations, simply seeking to make music with sincerity.
He also stressed that everything he accomplishes he attributes to God, refusing any form of divinization of his person.
« I’m just a human being trying to make music sincerely. Everything I have and everything I do I owe to God “, he clarified.
Through this message, Gims invited his audience to continue to listen to him, appreciate him and support him, without placing him on a pedestal.
He concluded by reaffirming his gratitude to his fans, while asking for respect for this position which he describes as essential.
Born May 6, 1986 in Kinshasa, Zaire, Gandhi Djuna, known as Gims, formerly ”Maître Gims” is a Franco-Congolese singer and rapper.
