Sanremo 2024: Controversy Ignites Over La Sad's Participation

Sanremo 2024 heats up, and controversies begin. Codacons and the Association of Radio and Television Service Users, according to what was written by Adnkronos, "enter the field with a complaint against Rai and Amadeus following the news of La Sad's participation in the Sanremo Festival 2024". And Fiorello today on VivaRai 2 jokes about it. Sanremo 2024, the case of La Sad. Violence, drugs, and fluidity: the lyrics aim for scandal (and could put Amadeus and Rai in difficulty) La Sad at Sanremo, there's controversy over sexist lyrics But let's go in order, Codacons after discovering the big names competing in the next Festival lashes out against La Sad, a Milanese trap group that sings songs with lyrics considered vulgar and offensive, especially considering the current historical moment: "A country that is moved by Giulia Cecchettin cannot applaud songs ('But you are worse than coke, you're a whore', and 'I fuck you just to rip out your heart', to cite a couple among many) that are offensive towards women and characterized by a constant exaltation of violence and misogyny. It is then unclear the reason that led Rai and Amadeus to choose this trio, given the decidedly inappropriate lyrics, at a time when all energies should be united in the fight against gender violence: a wrong choice which, in the absence of an immediate retraction, will be followed by the complaint of the two Associations". Sanremo 2024, Amadeus announces: "Roberto Bolle will be the super guest". Here's when Fiorello's intervention Fiorello's timely and ironic intervention could not be missed, who from the microphones of VivaRai2 today says: "They are a bit extroverted guys, but I know that Amadeus is keeping them at his house, making them take catechism courses, a course in good manners by Corrado Augias but above all he has gifted them a course on videotapes: 'How to become Roberto Sergio in 10 days'. You see them with mohawks, soon they will have a little white panettone on their head and glasses". Who they are But who are La Sad? Together since 2021, La Sad was born from the meeting between Matteo Botticini, Francesco Emanuele Clemente, and Enrico Fonte, in art Theø, Plant, and Fiks. The three young men come from three different regions: Lombardy, Apulia, and Veneto. After their first experiments together, their lyrics have become increasingly introspective: among the themes are the feeling of loneliness, depression, the use of drugs, and relational difficulties. Their debut album - "Sto Nella Sad" - and the tours in clubs date back to 2022.
