Fedez Condemned Over Instagram Lyric Linking Jannik Sinner’s Accent to Hitler

The preview drew heavy criticism ahead of a single release due Friday.

Overview

  • Fedez posted an Instagram story previewing a new track that includes the line calling Jannik Sinner a “pure‑bred Italian with Adolf Hitler’s accent.”
  • The stanza also targets figures and institutions including Elly Schlein, Carlo Acutis, the Pope, EsseMagazine, Stefano De Martino, the Polizia Postale and Charlie Kirk.
  • Reaction on social platforms and in Italian media has been overwhelmingly negative, with many users labeling the lyric offensive and gratuitous.
  • The reference to Sinner appears tied to his Alto Adige roots and German‑speaking family background, though the tennis star has repeatedly said he feels 100% Italian.
  • Sinner has not publicly responded as he trains in Montecarlo, and the full song is set to be released on Friday as Fedez readies shows at Milan’s Forum Assago.
