“Before, we used to talk about Junior the football player. Now it’s JVNSY. “In recent months and his stint in February in Planète Rap, the famous Skyrock show, looks have changed around Junior Ntima.
He, the usual goalkeeper who passed through RC Strasbourg before a long tenure at Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien, has proven that he has other talents. On the musical field, where his flow begins to resonate outside his entourage. The person, 28, admits, “it’s not yet extraordinary but I still feel a big change. I am taken seriously, we do not tell ourselves that rap is just a passion for me. “
For a long time, however, it took a back seat, behind this famous balloon. The native of Val-de-Marne was rather gifted, to the point of finding himself at the training center of the Alsatian club in 2009. Not really in the best years of Racing… “I was offered a trainee-pro contract of two years in 2011 but the bad luck I had was that the RCS was filed for bankruptcy, ”recalls the one who was then in François Keller’s group. Behind the holder Vauvenargues Kéhi, and Ziman Duki.
“I experienced the rise in CFA but I had not played. I had learned a lot with François Keller ”, he continues, not really bitter about this failed passage in the professional world. “Of course I would have liked to break through but I always stayed in football, it helped me not to get depressed. “The goalkeeper returned to his region before having a series of experiences in the so-called amateur championships (N2, N3, DH) where training punctuates the weeks. For next season, he signed up with US Chantilly (N3).
Rap was never far away. “It comes from my big brother, who made it. I have always been to the studio, even when I was in Strasbourg. I continued and one day my friends told me to put my songs on the platforms, to see. I wasn’t too daring but I made a small budget and let go of the horses in May 2020. ”
