“I would rather know you were dead than with someone else. I’m coming to shoot you. And again: “I want life to escape your eyes, I tried and you told me no.” And now I will strangle you with this receiver.
The rapper is a kind of hymn to femicide Emis Killainvited by the municipality of Ladispoli to perform together on New Year’s Eve Hello Pequeno unleash a storm.

People forget that storytelling is neither a shallow representation of reality nor a form of communication that relieves the communicator of responsibility to those who listen to him. Especially when it comes to femicide, an artist’s work cannot be limited to posing as a murderer.
From violence against women, who are insulted and persecuted if not killed, the lyrics move from the glorification of drugs to the glorification of weapons and violence in general.
Details they didn’t address the mayor of the Northern League Alexander Grando who decided to make 200,000 euros of public money available to the two. Throughout the entire concert in Piazza Falcone It will cost 345,000, of which 40,000 will be requested by the Lazio Region.
If the tourism city council Marco Porro speaks of “artists chosen for an unforgettable concert that will allow young people not to leave Ladispoli and parents not to worry,” Mayor Grando specifies that “songs containing violent gender expressions will not be sung become”. In addition, on Terzobinario.it, the mayor calls on those who complain about excessive costs, such as the active club Ladispoli, to abandon the “village mentality”.
As soon as the news was known, a few days before November 25th, the storm broke: citizens, associations and parties began to protest. The regional councilor and national coordinator of the Democratic Party Martha Bonafoni calls on the Lazio region not to finance the event: “The decision of the municipality of Ladispoli is a wrong and dangerous decision.” Entrusting the show in the square on New Year’s Eve to rappers who, with their songs, seem to promote downright violent behavior towards women and girls , is, among other things, an unacceptable betrayal of what the great mobilization of last Saturday demanded of the institutions. I hope that the Presidium of the Regional Council will respond to the municipality’s request for contributions with a clear no. It is better to allocate this money to other initiatives capable of challenging this patriarchy, of which, unfortunately, we still see too much evidence and from whose most tragic consequences we are suffering.”
Also Councilors of the Democratic Party Ladispoli They rebelled: “Emis Killa responded to the criticism by saying that he wanted to “raise awareness of the issue of femicide” with a crude narrative. We believe that a different narrative should come from a prominent presence like that of the rapper, one of solidarity for women and condemnation of murderers.”
While the poster of the event is circulating among the negative comments on Ladispoli’s social groups, Alessandro Giovannetti of the Italian Left comments: “With the sanctity of the Nativity, under the sign of God, the Fatherland and the family, the local right shows the desire to stay close to the very little ones and addresses the most popular topics: cocaine, pussy, luxury cars. “, guns and gratuitous violence.”
