Fedez Defends Lyric Comparing Sinner’s Accent to Hitler as Outrage Spreads

The rapper told La Zanzara the line was irony aimed at Italian fanaticism rather than a personal attack on the tennis star.

Overview

  • Fedez previewed the verse on Instagram on Sept. 16, writing "Purosangue italiano con l'accento di Adolf Hitler" about Jannik Sinner.
  • He said the bars are part of a live set he plans to perform at Milan’s Forum di Assago on Sept. 19–20, tied to a new single expected around Sept. 19.
  • In the same interview he jabbed at Sinner’s Monaco residency by noting the player does not pay taxes in Italy.
  • SVP parliamentarians Julia Unterberger and Manfred Schullian condemned the line as offensive to the German‑speaking minority, as international outlets reported on the controversy.
  • Sinner has not engaged publicly and remains focused on training and travel for upcoming events such as the China Open, with no legal actions announced.
