During the first of his two concerts at the Forum di Assago, Fedez addressed the controversy surrounding a lyric that referenced tennis star Jannik Sinner. The line, which described Sinner as a “purebred Italian with the accent of Adolf Hitler,” had sparked widespread backlash and debate.
Acknowledging the Mistake
Fedez took full responsibility for the misunderstanding, speaking candidly to his audience. “If a rhyme isn’t understood, the fault lies with the one who wrote it: I take full responsibility,” he said, emphasizing that the impact of his words was not what he had intended.
The Failed Irony
He explained that the lyric was meant to be ironic, but admitted that the attempt had fallen short. “It was a paradox, and it didn’t work,” Fedez confessed, recognizing that the line had caused offense rather than provoking thought.
Public Reaction and Artistic Boundaries
The incident has reignited discussions about the limits of satire and the responsibilities of artists when addressing sensitive topics. While some defended Fedez’s creative freedom, others criticized the use of provocative language, especially when referencing historical figures associated with trauma and violence.
A Moment of Reflection
Fedez’s apology marked a shift in tone during the concert, offering a moment of reflection and accountability. His words resonated with many in the crowd, serving as a reminder of the power of language and the importance of intent in artistic expression.
