ADeath threats are coming from so-called haters against Fedez. The plague of hatred and insults behind the mask of the web is well-known and even growing and now the one paying the price is an artist who has practically put his life on social media for years, including his super wedding this summer in Noto and the birth of his son. Death threats, harassing phone calls, and even a request for a social services inspection to verify his parental conduct towards little Leone: the hatred has been unleashed on the rapper for days with a crescendo that, his team confirmed to ANSA, is worrying him to the point of wanting to make these threats known. And even Chiara Ferragni, in Marrakech for her work, was heavily criticized for leaving her baby alone (“he will have psychological problems” they wrote to her. And she cried). In short, there is a storm over the most social couple, almost a boomerang for people who are always on display, who have built their popularity on the bond with their followers. It all started a few days ago, on October 23, after the surprise party for his birthday organized by his wife Chiara Ferragni in a supermarket in Milan, with music and dancing on the fruit stands and throwing food, rented for the occasion by the influencer. The couple was harshly attacked for food waste, so much so that Fedez had to apologize the next day - again online of course. Then on Saturday evening in an Instagram story the artist talked about waste in the world of TV, giving among other things the live example of a performance with 30 watermelons on Tu si que vales and a Big Brother rehearsal always with food. "If playing with food is wrong, it should be wrong in all the contexts we can see - he said in the video to his followers -. For this blessed party at the supermarket a state case was unleashed, and yet on television I saw tubs of food thrown at people and people smashing watermelons with their fists and standing ovations and huge laughter". Fedez concluded bitterly: "We have reached truly unspeakable levels. I continue to renew my apologies - the rapper concluded -, but I do not understand all this fury towards us". Beyond the haters (apparently there is also a petition circulating to exclude him from X Factor) and therefore the certainly condemnable violence online, the Fedez case highlights for a connected society like ours how important the so-called 'reputation' is: Fedez, aside from the hateful professional haters, has also attracted criticism from volunteer associations that make a charitable mission out of collecting food and even the supermarket in question has had to defend itself from the decline in image. A real social-indignation.
