Biography
Werenoi, pseudonym of Jeremy Bana Owona (born 30 January 1994 in Melun), is a French rapper of Cameroonian descent, elected the male revelation of the year at the Les Flammes ceremony in 2023.
Little is known about Werenoi's personal life, as he does not usually make statements about himself or his family. It is known that he grew up in Montreuil in a family of Cameroonian origin.
He released his first song, "Guadalajara", in February 2021, under the name We Renoi. During the year he released several other singles, including "Señor de los Gallos", featuring Lacrim. In May 2022 Werenoi signed a contract with label AllPoints France, announcing the release of his first official project, Telegram, a 12-track EP released on June 3 of the same year. It was then re-released a few months later with two additional tracks, one of which was created together with rapper Ninho. Telegram was certified gold, whereas the song "Solitaire", featured on it, obtained the diamond certification.
On 23 February 2023 he released the freestyle "10.03.2023", in reference to the release date of his first studio album, titled Carré. The album featured rappers PLK, Ninho, Tiakola and Lacrim, and achieved good success, selling more than 18,000 copies in the first week. Carré turned out to be the best-selling album in France in 2023, ahead of projects by notable artists such as Hamza and Ninho. On 22 September 2023 Werenoi released a new project, the EP Telegram 2, announced the day before its release.
