On February 23, 2025, the city of Dieppe paid a heartfelt tribute to one of its most talented sons, reggae singer Naâman, who passed away on February 7 at the age of 34 due to a brain tumor. Thousands of fans from all over France gathered in front of the Saint-Rémy Church to honor his memory.
The ceremony, organized in close collaboration with the family, friends, and the artist's team, was marked by emotional speeches and musical moments reflecting Naâman's spirit of simplicity and friendliness. Among the artists present, the duo Bigflo and Oli performed a song in tribute to their late friend, highlighting Naâman's impact on the French music scene.
On this occasion, the square in front of the Saint-Rémy Church, where Naâman had held a surprise concert on July 23, 2024, was officially renamed "Place Naâman." A commemorative plaque was unveiled, reminding everyone of the deep connection between the artist and his hometown. The mayor of Dieppe emphasized in his speech the importance of this tribute to preserve the cultural legacy left by the singer.
To ensure the smooth running of the event, several streets in the town center were closed to traffic, and diversions were set up. Local authorities had anticipated a large turnout, and specific measures were taken to accommodate the many fans who came to celebrate Naâman's life and work.
Naâman's passing has left a huge void in the hearts of his fans and the music community. His latest song, "Mon Amour," released in December 2024, now resonates as a poignant farewell to his audience. The tribute in Dieppe serves as a testament to the indelible mark he left and the deep love his fans had for him.
