© France 2 This Wednesday, January 29, Benoît did not hesitate to correct Nagui on the set of Don't forget the words.

IN BRIEF

• Benoît, first Maestro of 'Don't forget the words', has accumulated more than 600,000 euros and is approaching 100 victories as of January 29, 2025.
• During a show, Nagui teases Benoît about an unfulfilled promise to dress up as a drag queen after 40 victories, which Benoît justifies by logistical constraints.
• The humorous exchange between Benoît and Nagui highlights their complicity, while hinting at the possibility of a surprise for the Masters.

He continues his crazy epic in N’oubliez pas les paroles. With over 600,000 euros in winnings, Benoît is the first Maestro of the France 2 show. The singer, who has managed to break a whole bunch of records, is also approaching 100 victories at his counter. So Nagui wanted to ask him a few questions this Wednesday, January 29, 2025, about his next goals.

While he doesn't want to stop his career as a photographer, Benoît is aware that his life has changed. And here the host doesn't hesitate to tease the champion:   “You promised us the Drag Queen with 40 victories, something he has never done, it must be said, … ”, he says. But here Benoît does not hesitate to give his version: “Whose fault is it ?”, he asks, full of irony, actually aiming at Nagui. 

Benoît puts Nagui against the wall

But this remark makes Mélanie's husband jump Page: “What ?!?You explained to me that you were creating a character and that you didn't have it yet and you promised it for the Masters”, the presenter of Don't forget the lyrics tells him.

But Benoît isn't ready to let it happen: “But with 40 wins, it's not my fault not to have done it, it seems to me”, he blurts out in front of a totally shocked Nagui. “We have to reestablish the truthé…”, retorts the champion. “Çit couldn't have been done from a logistical point of view”, Benoit adds. 

This version of events that doesn't convince the Maestro

Indeed, Nagui confirms these statements: “It takes time to make up”, explains the host. So, maybe the viewers will see Benoit dressed as a drag queen for the Masters. But clearly the champion doesn't really like to let things happen and prefers to tell his side of the story right away, even if it means that Nagui finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. But the Maestro managed to have the last word.

A hilarious scene that shows the good understanding between the host and the singer. The latter has also managed to eliminate his competitors thanks to his crazy knowledge. Incredible abilities that allow him to always go further. For the moment, nothing seems to stop Benoit.
