Rania was 16 and was suffering from progeria, causing her to age faster. She passed away last week, but she filled her life with music and laughter. Brut spent a day with Rania.

00:00Like, you're a girl, you don't have hair, girl.
00:02You're really derby, that's it.
00:04You're there, you're a girl, you don't have hair, you're really weird.
00:07It's like if I told you, you're a guy and you have a bald head.
00:10Ha ha ha!
00:29So, why do I have hair? I really don't know.
00:32But, well, it's... I'm short.
00:35I have old-age diseases.
00:36I'm getting older faster.
00:37Like, arthritis and everything.
00:39I don't have Alzheimer's yet, so it's okay.
00:41When you drink on the street, I think you remember it for a long time.
00:50I just know that it's premature aging.
00:52That I'm getting older five times faster.
00:55Or two times faster, I don't know.
00:56But it's something like that.
00:57And I imagine that...
00:59Fuck, how much did you tell me?
01:01An increase of 8 million?
01:03From 4 to 8 million.
01:04Oh yeah, that's really a small chance.
01:07I wish it was me.
01:08Ha ha ha!
01:09Well, it's me, great!
01:19My TikTok has 16 million views.
01:211.5 million likes.
01:27You're crazy!
01:31Oh, I'm at 60,000 on TikTok!
01:33How many?
01:3460,000!
01:35Oh!
01:36Oh!
01:37Oh!
01:38Oh!
01:39Oh!
01:40Oh!
01:41Oh!
01:42Oh, I'm at 60,000 on TikTok!
01:44Come, let's open the window.
01:45Why nobody reacts?
01:46Because I'm stupid.
01:47Can you not react loud, please?
02:01I like to come and laugh, make people laugh.
02:04For example, if I'm going to get hurt somewhere,
02:08I don't necessarily say it because I want to enjoy the moment.
02:11We're here, we're going to laugh and everything.
02:13It's me. It's my figurine.
02:16If you don't laugh at yourself, it's useless.
02:18Like, it's not funny.
02:20You know, we're going to say a little thing.
02:22You're going to get hurt.
02:24You're going to cry.
02:26Get out of here. It's bad.
02:28We can't laugh at things.
02:30If you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at anything.
02:32For the Internet, we look alike.
02:34So I'm worried.
02:36And for my grandfather too.
02:38If I get hurt, it's useless.
02:40I have to show myself, I have to go on social media.
02:42Because in any case, there will always be people
02:44to talk, you know, to say things like that.
02:46So I prefer to laugh instead of getting angry.
02:48Hi, why don't you answer my phone?
02:52It's like the horses on the Côte d'Ivoire.
03:02I met Rania because she donated to me
03:04on a streaming platform called Twitch.
03:06So I was streaming.
03:08And this young girl stole her mom's credit card.
03:10And she came to me
03:12three donations of 1 euro, 1 euro and 1 euro.
03:14And asking me every time
03:16to add it and all that.
03:18And at first she explained to me what she had, her illness and all that.
03:20She explained everything to me.
03:22And then, slowly, we got in touch on Instagram.
03:24And today, we make videos together.
03:26Get out of here.
03:28It's a fight.
03:30It's a fight when you're naked.
03:32I needed a person like that
03:34in my life, actually.
03:36And I think my subscribers also needed it
03:38because it made a lot of people laugh.
03:40People said, fuck, I'm complaining because I don't have this,
03:42because I don't have that. But look at this kid, how she laughs,
03:44how she loves her life.
03:46I'm here, I'm fine, I eat well, I live well, and I complain.
03:48Hop there, little pass.
03:50And I think
03:52she did me good, but she did good to a lot of people.
03:54We're with Brut.
03:56And Brut,
03:58we don't share the inside.
04:00It was a mess.
04:02Stop, stop.
04:04Wait, move, you're going to eat the wall.
04:06I always knew that I could
04:08go on the Internet.
04:10But I don't know, maybe I was surrounded by bad people.
04:12The sister is there, look at her.
04:14The big sister.
04:16Thank you very much.
04:18Come on, let's go.
04:20I like to go out,
04:22see people recognize me.
04:24It's a pleasure, you know.
04:26It's cool.
04:28It's as if they were my friends.
04:30I like it.
04:34For now, I haven't met
04:36real haters
04:38on the Internet.
04:40But maybe it will happen.
04:42Maybe we should get the points.
04:44He said, I know you.
04:46Again, I gave up.
04:48He told his life.
04:50I don't care, Mrs. Brut.
04:52Mrs. Brut, I don't care.
04:56I'm in the studio.
04:58We're recording my next song
05:00that I'm going to record.
05:02It's my next song.
05:04I say that as if I had released 18.
05:06It's my first song.
05:08I'm a little nervous because I know
05:10we're going to go on the mic.
05:12It's very high-pitched.
05:14I hope it goes well.
05:16Ouch!
05:18She's stressed out, but she's not stressed at all.
05:20I fell.
05:22You didn't see?
05:24I'm not even tired
05:26after 10 hours of recording.
05:32Let's go, let's go.
05:34We raise our hands, we scream loudly.
