Nabil Arlabelek (born 15 February 1986, Marseille), better known by the stage name Naps, is a French rapper of Algerian origin. Coming from a suburb that is home to the Bel Air housing estate in Marseille, he started rapping in 2001 at the age of 15. Two years later he formed Click 11.43 with two other rappers, KOFS and Sahime. The formation had considerable following particularly with the incarcerated population in France. Naps also released his own solo materials and collaborated with many other rappers.[1] In January 2020, Naps announced that he has stopped all artistic activity and has destroyed his gold certified album.[2]
