James met Bill Gates in December 2023. The not-so-secret meeting was intended to involve him in a vaccination campaign in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an African country severely affected by polio. James preferred to resist the “darkness.”
Could Loris Giuliano have imagined what he would hear when he called out James (formerly Maitre James) on an episode of Station Service? Probably, actually. The rapper who popularized the idea that electricity existed in ancient Egypt, against the backdrop of conspiracy theories from another era, doesn’t keep his tongue in his pocket. 7 minutes away In the video we have to go to have a topic that interests us: the mysterious meeting between James and Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft who is now dedicating his fortune to eradicating endemic diseases, especially in Africa.
If you start the video at minute 7 and listen to Gims, you might feel like you're watching a new version of the series. Serge the legend“It's clear that Gims makes a lot of them and adds a lot to the show. We'll never know if Bill Gates actually invited him from Marrakech by private jet to the George V Hotel in Paris, or if it was a security matter.” CIA type “Repeated tirelessly” James them » As it happened. We will never know more than whether there is a secret room emitting a “Masons'” light in the George V Hotel or whether Bill Gates travels with his gold-engraved table.
Yes, James did meet Bill Gates.
On the other hand, we do know one thing: Bill Gates and James met on December 5, 2023. The rapper confirmed on X that “ The discussion was geared towards progress and change with real commitments. ” On InstagramHe even praised the billionaire in a post dedicated to the meeting: “ I stand tall, I'm the taller of the two, but there's only one tall man in this room. Thanks to @thisisbillgates for his time, creativity, and listening. “. Supporting evidence, where several images have been added to the text, and there is a video without sound.
But if the specialized press was able to transmit the meeting and the few quarrels that followed (Hip Hop Corner is here, Generations there), James has been very evasive about his encounter. Until this video in the car with Loris Giuliano.
James, proud of his refusal to participate in the polio vaccination campaign
James rightly notes in the video that Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft, but has dedicated his life to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is largely focused on health. That’s why James could have been approached: to be an ambassador for a polio campaign in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country where James was born. To fight polio, We read on his websiteThe institution provides Technical and financial resources to accelerate targeted vaccination campaigns, community mobilization and routine vaccinations “
We know that vaccine immunity allows for the near-total eradication of polio, and efforts to provide access to the vaccine to as many children as possible are a priority for WHO. In this regard, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is lagging far behind: UNICEF, for example, stated in 2023:This was during a major vaccination campaign. The Democratic Republic of the Congo alone reported nearly 50% of all poliovirus strains in the African region in 2022. “
Numbers that don't seem to affect Gims, soHe ends up proudly stating that he refused to participate in this campaign, even with money at stake.” I saw the darkness “He said without contradiction, vaguely evoking,” Rentals “Which Bill Gates will indulge in, like” Epstein “. And with all confidence, the final blow arrives with frightening pride: ” No one is vaccinated in the Congo. “. ” unbelievable “It's a very good idea,” says Loris Giuliano.
James ended up saying he no longer wanted to bother himself on social media, as he did with the “Egyptologists” who opposed him over the electric pyramids issue. Unfortunately, in this case, making some anti-vaccine conspiracy remarks about his commitment to polio might have saved lives.
But fortunately, The rapper isn't quite right when he says that ” No one is vaccinated in the Congo. »In July 2023, UNICEF’s campaign, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aims to vaccinate 23 million children aged 0-5 years. Media Digital Congo Reports in 2024 indicate that cases of viral paralysis in children have been cut in half in two years. It just goes to show that science is moving forward, with or without James.
