Booba is celebrating his 48th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper Booba (Lunatic, Ouest Side, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 48th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Booba, a cultural icon

Born Élie Yaffa in Boulogne-Billancourt on December 9, 1976, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Booba's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Booba hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Booba as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 48.

Happy Birthday, Booba, you're the best!
