'''Mélanie Georgiades''' ({{IPA|fr|melani ʒɔʁʒjadɛs}}; born 25 July 1980, in [[Nicosia]]), better known by her stage name '''Diam's''' ({{IPA|fr|djams|pron}}), is a retired [[France|French]] [[Rapping|rapper]] of [[Greek Cypriots|Greek-speaking Cypriot]] origin.

==Biography==
Mélanie Marie Georgiades was born on 25 July 1980, in [[Nicosia]], capital of [[Cyprus]].  Her mother is French and her father is Greek-speaking Cypriot.  After her parents separated, she arrived in France with her mother at the age of three.  She spent her childhood in Paris, then in the department of [[Essonne]], in [[Brunoy]], until the age of thirteen.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diam's sur RAPRNB : Les dernières news, Biographie, Albums, Lyrics et Playlist |url=https://www.raprnb.com/artiste/diams/ |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=RAPRNB |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=L'interview exclusive de Mélanie Diam's sur Brut | date=26 May 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWcV8ZPBEDg |language=en |access-date=2022-08-16}}</ref>

She studied for a while in [[Igny, Essonne|Igny]], in the private Saint-Nicolas college.  Later, she moved to [[Massy, Essonne|Massy]] then to [[Orsay]] in the suburban district of Mondetour,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Petite banlieusarde de Diam's {{!}} Paroles de chansons |url=https://www.musikiwi.com/paroles/diam-s-petite,banlieusarde,27275.html |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=Paroles de Chansons - MusiKiwi.com |language=fr}}</ref> where she spent most of her adolescence.  She discovered rap through the album ''[[The Chronic]]'' (1992) by [[Dr. Dre]] and the first song by the group NTM, Je rap (1990) (published on Rapattitude, the first French rap compilation).  She chose Diam's as her pseudonym in 1995, a choice she explains as "I came across the definition of the word diamond and I learned that a diamond can only be broken by another diamond and that it is only made  of natural elements".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diam's Interview 2006 – ZICLINE, l'info musicale |url=http://www.zicline.com/dossiers/diams/diams.htm |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=www.zicline.com}}</ref>

===Beginnings (1994–2002)===
In 1995, at the age of fifteen, she attempted suicide.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diam's, heureuse sous son voile – Jeune Afrique |url=https://www.jeuneafrique.com/139782/culture/diam-s-heureuse-sous-son-voile/ |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=JeuneAfrique.com |language=fr-FR}}</ref> In 2003, she rapped about her past and how, aged 17, she was beaten by her partner in a song called ''Ma souffrance'' (My suffering).

She formed a group called Mafia Tres. In 1997, the group released a four title EP with Diam's on two tracks. Diam's became better known, thanks to her appearance in 1997 on Mafia Trece's  first album, called Cosa Nostra, and thanks to an appearance on Phonograph with the rap group ATK.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 September 2012 |title=Diam's |url=http://www.ramdam.com/bio/diams-biographie/ |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=archive.ph |archive-date=9 September 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909190549/http://www.ramdam.com/bio/diams-biographie/ |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>

After her separation from Mafia Tres, Diam's released her first album, ''Premier Mandat'' in 1999, but it was not a success, selling just 9,000 copies.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 June 2006 |title=Interview Diam's |url=http://www.brakmart.net/Interview-Diam-s_a199.html |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=archive.ph |archive-date=13 June 2006 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20060613165030/http://www.brakmart.net/Interview-Diam-s_a199.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2001 the song ''Suzy'' broadcast on the compilation Original Bombattack on radio Générations 88.2.  The song was picked up on the Internet.  ''Suzy'' came to the attention of [[Jamel Debbouze]] who became her friend and mentor.  She then made many appearances and participations on radio shows.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 September 2012 |title=Diam's |url=http://www.ramdam.com/bio/diams-biographie/ |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=archive.ph |archive-date=9 September 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909190549/http://www.ramdam.com/bio/diams-biographie/ |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> She finally prepared her second album, entitled ''Brut de femme'' and the record company [[EMI]] offers her a contract in April 2002. The project was abandoned following a restructuring of EMI while the two titles ''Pogo'' and ''1980'' were broadcast by a journalist on the Internet before their official release.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 June 2006 |title=Interview Diam's |url=http://www.brakmart.net/Interview-Diam-s_a199.html |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=archive.ph |archive-date=13 June 2006 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20060613165030/http://www.brakmart.net/Interview-Diam-s_a199.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Success (2003–2009)===
She signed on the Hostile label after long negotiations. The tracks were reworked and finally integrated into her second album, ''[[Brut de femme]]''.<ref>{{Citation |title=Interview de Diam's Fevrier 2003 Album "Brut de femmes" | date=17 October 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQHxqpBfB4Q |language=en |access-date=2022-08-16}}</ref> ''Brut de femme'' quickly went gold and the single ''DJ'' was certified platinum.

=== Retirement (2012-Now) ===
In July 2012, she published her book ''Diam's'' ''Autobiographie.''<ref>{{Cite web |date=18 July 2012 |title=Diam's de retour avec une autobiographie |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2012/07/18/03006-20120718ARTFIG00396-diam-s-de-retour-avec-une-autobiographie.php |access-date=2022-08-16 |website=LEFIGARO |language=fr}}</ref> On 30 September 2012, she announced on the show Sept à huit on TF1 the end of her career as a rapper.

In 2022, she made the documentary on her career, "Salam",<ref>{{cite web |title=Diam's explains why she made the documentary "Salam"
 |url=https://havannews.com/diams-explains-why-she-made-the-documentary-salam/amp |website=HavanNews |access-date=2 May 2022}}</ref> which the former rapper will be presenting at the [[Cannes Film Festival]]. In a rare message posted to Instagram, Diam's, who had previously retired from social media, explained her motivation, and why she agreed to entrust her story to directors [[Houda Benyamina]] (Divine) and Anne Cissé, after refusing dozens of requests for years:

"I had the feeling that I was being asked to give the keys to my life so that others could make a film of it. A show. My depression, my suffering, my quest, my recognition: a film? An entertainment? I was touched that people were interested in my career, but it was impossible for me to let strangers speak for me… So I took up the pen again. The one thing I have always loved delivered me."

==Personal life==
In 2007, she suffered from depression due to personal problems, which she returned to in the song ''Si c'était le dernier.''<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Après un long silence, Diam's raconte : "Le besoin de me convertir fut évident" |url=https://www.midilibre.fr/2012/09/25/apres-un-long-silence-diam-s-raconte-le-besoin-de-me-convertir-fut-evident,568112.php |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=midilibre.fr |language=fr}}</ref> Diagnosed as [[Bipolar disorder|bipolar]], she alternated between stays in a [[psychiatric hospital]] and her career as an artist.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last=Binet |first=Stéphanie |title=A hue et à Diam's |url=https://www.liberation.fr/culture/2009/11/14/a-hue-et-a-diam-s_593543/ |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=Libération |language=fr}}</ref> When she left the hospital, she decided to stop taking the medication, and she attempted suicide by swallowing [[Hypnotic|sleeping pills]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Internement, conversion à l'islam, maternité : Diam's brise le silence |url=https://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2012/09/20/1444648-internement-conversion-a-l-islam-maternite-diam-s-brise-le-silence.html |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=ladepeche.fr |language=fr}}</ref>

In December 2008, she converted to [[Islam]],<ref name=":3" /> she said that religion liberated her and helped her through these difficult ordeals.  In September 2009, she married her companion Aziz.<ref name=":4" /> On 8 October 2009, [[Paris Match]] magazine published pictures of her leaving a mosque in [[Gennevilliers]] with her husband, wearing an Islamic veil.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Le silence est de Diam's |url=https://www.lesinrocks.com/musique/le-silence-est-de-diams-130700-02-12-2009/ |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=Les Inrocks |language=fr-FR}}</ref> In the midst of a debate on the banning of the full veil in public places, these stolen{{Cn|date=July 2024}} photos caused a scandal.<ref name=":3" />

In 2010, Diam's won her complaint against [[L'Obs|Le Nouvel Observateur]] magazine for violating her image rights and privacy after publishing a picture of Diam's wearing a headscarf without permission. The picture was placed in an article about French Muslims.<ref>{{Cite web |date=9 February 2010 |title=L'Obs condamné pour une photo de Diam's |url=https://www.nouvelobs.com/medias/20100209.OBS6392/l-obs-condamne-pour-une-photo-de-diam-s.html |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=L'Obs |language=fr}}</ref>

In the spring of 2012, Mélanie gave birth to a daughter named Maryam.<ref>{{Cite web |date=19 September 2012 |title=Diam's est maman |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/actualites/article/diam-s-est-maman-d-une-petite-maryam_9891.html |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=Le HuffPost |language=fr}}</ref> In 2015, she married again, and gave birth to a boy named Abraham.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diam's : Insultes, divorce difficile et nouveau mari... elle dit tout ! |url=https://www.purepeople.com/article/diam-s-insultes-divorce-difficile-et-nouveau-mari-elle-dit-tout_a160052/1 |access-date=2022-08-23 |website=www.purepeople.com |language=fr}}</ref>

In 2012, Diam's announced her retirement from the music industry.  This decision stemmed from her religious convictions and her adoption of [[Salafi movement|Salafism]], a conservative interpretation of Islam.  She stated that she believed pursuing a career in rap or hip-hop was [[Haram|incompatible]] with her faith. Diam's further indicated that she had stopped listening to music altogether, including her own previously recorded work.
