The rapper was detained along with three other suspects who were also charged over the incident in which a 23-year-old man died after having been stabbed and beaten in the French capital, in what a source close to the enquiry called "a settling of scores" between rival gangs.
Sylla's lawyer said he had "never been involved in conflicts between rival gangs".
