This Saturday, January 25, 2025, France is preparing to discover the name of the big winner of Star Academy 2024. Two candidates are still in the running: Ebony, 20, from Ile-de-France, and Marine, 24, from the North. The winner's prize is a contract with Sony Music and a check for 100,000 euros. But a few hours before the final prime, it is an unexpected statement by Aya Nakamura that has people talking.

On social networks, reactions were quick. “AYA NAKAMURA took a stand for Ebony, symbolic when we know that she is attacked by the same public of haters“, we could read. Or again: “So there, Aya Nakamura, Sally, Yanissa, our queen mothers have spoken for Ebony and you are going to make them flop ??? Please vote all 1 to 71500“.

A wave of racist and sexist hatred against Ebony

Aya Nakamura's support comes in a particular context. Indeed, Ebony has been the target of racist and sexist attacks on social networks for several weeks. Faced with the scale of the phenomenon, the production company Endemol, which produces the show, announced on January 24, 2025 that it had taken legal action.

The SOS association Racisme has also decided to file a complaint to defend the candidate, “target of a wave of racist and sexist hatred“. A sad echo of what Aya Nakamura herself experienced during her performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.

Support from overseas to decide the finalists ?

For this final with unbearable suspense, the Overseas departments and regions could well tip the balance. Since January 21, 2025, voting has been open to Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyana, Reunion, Mayotte, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy.

This means that more than 2.2 million additional viewers can vote for their favorite candidate. Enough to redistribute the cards between Ebony and Marine ? Answer tonight, at from 9:10 p.m., on TF1.
