Bénabar and Pascal Obispo, two prominent French artists, reflected on their initial difficult meeting during a 27 January appearance on *C à vous*. Their first encounter in the early 2000s was marked by tension; Pascal Obispo recalls greeting Bénabar cordially backstage, but an offhanded remark by Bénabar about not wanting any songs by Obispo led to a heated on-air exchange. Bénabar admitted that the backstage situation was stressful and that he was angry upon arriving, which caused a scene and upset his management. Despite this rocky start, their relationship has since evolved into a close friendship, culminating in their recent collaboration on the song *Reste-t-il du bonheur*. They also discussed their careers, with Bénabar opening up about how fatherhood has changed his perspective on life and music, especially with his son Manolo, who is now pursuing music after learning guitar from artists like Renaud and Delpech. Bénabar humorously admitted to having 'messed up' his parenting but supports his son's musical journey, which includes playing in a band and attending jazz school. The two artists' story highlights how initial misunderstandings can lead to strong bonds, and their friendship now symbolizes mutual respect and creative collaboration.
