France departed Kigali International Airport on the evening of December 12, 2025, stating that the journey was primarily related to her growing career in entertainment and brand promotion. However, social media activity has fueled speculation that the trip also offers an opportunity for a reunion with her partner, Moctar, who has been in Benin since earlier this week.

Moctar, a Nigerien national, recently rose to prominence after winning Canal+’s reality show The Secret Story, where France Mpundu finished fourth. Their relationship became public during the finale, when Moctar surprised France with a ring, a moment that captured widespread attention across the region.

Sources close to the artist indicate that after meeting in Benin, the couple is expected to travel together to other West African countries. During this period, France Mpundu is scheduled to engage in several music-related projects, including studio recordings and video production, as she seeks to expand her artistic footprint beyond East Africa.

In addition to her creative plans, France is also reported to have secured brand endorsement opportunities, representing selected West African products. The tour is expected to conclude with the signing of promotional and commercial agreements with companies operating across the region.

The trip marks a significant step in France Mpundu’s career, blending professional growth, regional visibility, and personal milestones as she continues to build her presence on the African entertainment scene.
