The rapper known as Doums, whose full name is Mamadou Coulibaly, will face another trial for domestic violence in October. On Sunday, September 27, he was placed in custody in Vitry-sur-Seine, a town in the Val-de-Marne department, following allegations of repeated threats against his spouse. This comes just a few months after he was convicted for similar charges. According to the Créteil prosecutor's office, Doums will be tried again in October for acts of violence that resulted in a short period of total work incapacity for his spouse or cohabitant, typically not exceeding eight days. He was released without judicial control but received a summons for October 21, as noted by the prosecutor.
Doums' lawyer, Me Marion Coiffier, spoke to AFP and expressed concerns about the legal process. She noted that the procedure was "singular" and criticized the custody decision for threats that "were not supported by any tangible evidence." She also pointed out that her client had received two summonses within an hour for different charges and different hearing dates, which she said raised questions about the consistency of the legal proceedings. She is now waiting for the court to carefully examine these matters and ensure justice is served.
Doums was previously convicted in February during a closed trial in Créteil for eight months in prison with a suspended sentence for domestic violence against his girlfriend. This incident occurred between December 2022 and January 2026. His defense lawyer had stated that he was acquitted of the acts that took place in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In January, his girlfriend reported domestic violence that occurred at their family home in Vitry-sur-Seine, near Paris, in the presence of their two children. This incident resulted in one day of total work incapacity.
In another case, Doums is accused by actress Adèle Exarchopoulos of repeated domestic violence. The two were in a relationship until 2018 and have a son together. The Paris correctional court has scheduled this trial for a closed session on February 8 of next year. Doums already has three convictions related to acts against Adèle Exarchopoulos, including one for domestic violence and two for sending malicious phone calls and messages.
Doums was once a member of the music collective L'Entourage, where he worked alongside artists such as Alpha Wann, Deen Burbigo, and Nekfeu. He has around 530,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and previously formed the duo 2Fingz with the artist Népal.
