2020-present: "Ponce la nuit"

[edit]

In 2020 he hosted the program "Ponce la nuit", first broadcast on LeStream's channel, it then appeared on his YouTube channel, in which Antoine Daniel[6] and Samuel Étienne[7] were invited. He has been participating in Z Event since 2020.[8][9][10]

His channel was temporarily banned by Twitch in June, 2021 for broadcasting an 70s film trailer which shows a nipple: this temporarily suspension is relayed by Madmoizelle as a symbol of the exaggerated puritanism of the platform.[11]
