French rap artist Orelsan said Wednesday a "misunderstanding" likely caused his feud with football star Kylian Mbappé.

Orelsan, one of the most popular and bestselling current French rap artists, drew the ire of the Real Madrid forward with a line from a song on his latest record, "La fuite en avant." The track — "La petite voix" — features Orelsan rapping in the manner of an inner voice that criticizes and insults the artist, his family and his fans.
