Marie-Chantal Toupin (born July 14, 1971) is a Quebec singer.[1] She has released a number of pop and soft rock music albums. Toupin has sold over 300,000 albums in Canada and has had two albums certified platinum.
Toupin's 2005 album Non-Negociable was certified platinum; a second edition was released in 2007.[3]
Toupin left her manager Eduardo Da Costa, and after working independently and then with the Musicor label, returned to him in 2008; the result was an album of soft rock, À distance, in 2009.[7] That same year she released an album of Christmas music, and in 2010 her sixth album, Premier baiser.[8] Her album À ma manière : onze grands succès, released in 2012, was a collection of songs which had won Quebec's Félix Award.[9]
In 2015, Toupin was criticized in the media for making racist comments on her Facebook page; this led the producers of the Pixcom home renovation television show "Flip de filles" to remove her as co-host.[10][11]
In 2021 she was a competitor in the Quebec edition of Big Brother Célébrités, but voluntarily withdrew after getting drunk and making comments against other competitors which were widely perceived as racist and homophobic.[12]
