The rapper had clarified in a previous interview in the newspaper "Le Parisien" that he was not advocating silencing Zemmour by force, but rather by argument: "Silencing, it means putting him in his place. [...] The words don't refer to murder, or aggression, or injuries... I did not want to either have him killed or to deprive him of his freedom of expression. Silencing, it means to put him in his place, to expose him to his own contradictions." The album was finally released on October 12, 2009, with an expurgated version of the controversial track in which Zemmour's name is scrambled out.
