  • French popular rap groups such as Secteur Ä or Ministère AMER supported him and spread his brand wearing his products.
  • That attracted the attention of French mass media which soon depicted him as some sort of role model for youngsters from impoverished neighborhoods. In 2001, he signed a license with NBA and created a new textile collection : NBA by DIA.
  • That allowed him to enter the American market and then to open his first shop in the United States in 2004. In 2005, he also created his own record label, Dia entertainment, along with hip hop group Ärsenik.
