Let f : (Y, g) → (X, g 0 ) be a non zero degree continuous map between compact Kähler manifolds of dimension n ≥ 2, where g 0 has constant negative holomorphic sectional curvature. Adapting the Besson-Courtois-Gallot barycentre map techniques to the Kähler setting, we prove a gap theorem in terms of the degree of f and the diastatic entropies of (Y, g) and (X, g 0 ) which extends the rigidity result proved by the author in [13].techniques developed in its proof has provided a solution of long-standing problems. Denoted by Ent v (M, g) the volume entropy of a compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) we have:Theorem A (G. Besson, G. Courtois, S. Gallot). Let (Y, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n ≥ 3 and let (X, g 0 ) be a compact negatively curved locally symmetric Riemannian manifold of the same dimension of Y . If
