A short video clip posted on YouTube Shorts takes viewers back in time and plunges them into the heart of some of the most intense moments in Ivorian music. Sensationally titled: "THE DAY DJ ARAFAT PUBLICLY SANCTIONED TCHAIKABO 😳" , this 10-second video has become a veritable archival treasure, accumulating nearly half a million views.

Published on the channel NUMÉRO 1⚔️ À LAVIE ⚔️ À LA MORT , this Short takes us back to the time when interactions between major figures in Ivorian showbiz were often electric and captivating. The late king of Coupé-Décalé, DJ Arafat (Daïshikan), was famous not only for his music, but also for his publicized clashes and his unfiltered statements.

The video depicts one of these public confrontations with rapper Tchaikabo, a renowned figure in the Ivorian hip-hop scene. In a musical landscape often punctuated by buzz and artistic rivalries, the expression "publicly punished" refers to a moment when Arafat allegedly imposed his authority or verbally humiliated another artist during an event.

Although extremely brief, the clip captured the imagination of music fans, who remember DJ Arafat's commanding personality and the often tense, adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of the stage.

The 7,600 likes and 498,000 views testify to the lasting interest generated by these moments in the history of Ivorian show business.

For the uninitiated, this short video is a window into the raw energy that drove Abidjan's musical culture. For longtime fans, it's a vibrant reminder of a bygone era and an unintentional tribute to the impact Yôrôbô, despite his tragic passing, continues to have on the web.
