On 31 March 2014, Black M released his first solo album entitled Les yeux plus gros que le monde, relatively well received by the specialized press, sold 530,000 copies in December 2002 and certified diamond disc.

In May 2016, Black M was invited to sing at the celebration of the centenary of the Battle of Verdun by the socialist municipality, but he was the subject of criticism for the indecency of the arrival of this rapper at the commemoration of this historic battle, leading to demands for the cancellation of the concert first on the part of the right, the National Rally and other personalities.

The Secretary of State for Veterans Affairs, Jean-Marc Todeschini, declared on television that the cancellation of the Black M concert was "a first step towards totalitarianism, towards fascism".

Black M expressed his pride in participating in a concert linked to the commemoration of the Battle of Verdun.

Black M responded to this controversy a few months later by unveiling his new single "Je suis chez moi".
