# Rohff

Housni M'Kouboi (French:; born 15 December 1977), better known as Rohff and at times stylized as Roh2f, is a French rapper.
Born in Antananarivo, Madagascar, to a family of Comoran origin, he immigrated in 1985 to France living in Vitry-sur-Seine, in south suburbs of Paris. His stage name Rohff (French pronunciation:) stands for "Rimeur Original Hardcore Flow Fluide".
Rohff began rapping around 1990 and in 1994, he participated in the production of the album Première Classe (First Class), working on the track "On fait les choses" alongside Neg'Marrons, Mystik, and Pit Baccardi, and started becoming known to a larger audience. He is a member of the Mafia K'1 Fry, a group of rappers from Val-de-Marne composed. The group released the album Légendaire (Legendary) in 1999.
The same year, Rohff began to write his first solo album to be released in 1999 under the title Le Code de l'Honneur (The Code of Honor). Tracks included "Appelle-moi Rohff," "Catastrohff," "Skyrohff," "Rohff Vs l'État,", "Les Nerfs à Vifs", "Génération sacrifiée," and "Manimal." Encouraged by the success of his first album, in September 2001, he released a second album La Vie Avant la Mort (Life Before Death). The album sold around 250,000 copies with tracks like "TDSI" "Get Down, Sam'di Soir" and "5-9-1" as a duet with Assia, and a single off the album.
But it was the single "Qui est l'exemple?", released in the spring of 2002, that gave him his big breakthrough, selling roughly 750,000 copies. It also became his debut on the major national radio stations in France.
In 2006, he recorded "La Resurrection" as one of the soundtracks for the video game Scarface: The World is Yours.
In 2008, Rohff released his fifth album Le Code de l'horreur ending up selling 200,000 copies followed by the album La Cuenta in 2010 with sale of 80,000 copies and a gold certification.
After a three-year hiatus, he returned in 2013 for his seventh album P.D.R.G., making it his third double album release.

## Judicial cases

In 2005 Rohff was sentenced to four years of imprisonment, three of which were suspended for firing a gun at two people at the exit of a nightclub in Ivry-sur-Seine in 2002. However, he was not incarcerated.
On July 21, 2007, he participated with Kery James and some friends in a fight with MC Jean Gab'1, following the latter's release "J't'emmerde" where he dissed several French rappers including Rohff.
On the night of July 23, 2007, Rohff was arrested by the police in Barbusse, Joinville-le-Pont, for carrying a .357 Magnum gun, with which he had threatened his little brother. Placed in custody in Villejuif the following day, Rohff was tried in Créteil. He was sentenced on July 26, 2007, to 5 months in prison for "possession of weapons". He was incarcerated at the Fresnes Prison. He left prison on November 27, 2007, on the occasion of the concert of 50 Cent in Bercy, where Rohff performed as opening artist. He remained for several months on parole with an electronic bracelet.
On April 21, 2014, in the late afternoon, Rohff was involved in a violent attack in a clothing store in the 1st arrondissement of Paris distributing Unküt, the brand of the rapper Booba. Rohff was part of as gang that wrecked the store and beat up one of the shop workers. Having been caught on camera, the rapper surrendered himself to the French police accompanied by his lawyer and was placed in custody. He confessed to the investigators that he had taken the first shots to the victim. As a result of this assault, Rohff was detained.
On Monday, September 26, 2016, his wife filed a complaint against him at the police station of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés for domestic violence. Maeva Anissa, a former companion of Rohff also complained of similar treatment. Complaint was withdrawn after his wife said her family advised her to drop the charges as she didn't want her son to "have a dad in jail". Rohff was released on September 29.
On October 27, 2017, Rohff was sentenced to five years in prison for "aggravated violence", as a result of the charges against him regarding the assault in Unküt three years earlier. On June 6, 2019, the court of appeals confirmed his guilt increasing the sentence to 5 years in prison. He was released conditionally on 22 November 2019, after serving part of his sentence. He was released from the electronic surveillance device that he had been wearing on 24 February 2020.
