For years, singer Fedez and YouTuber Luis Sal ran a YouTube-broadcast podcast called Muschio Selvaggio, which was hugely popular and among the most followed in Italy, with millions of views for each video featuring a local socialite was Mostly different people were interviewed, from the historian Alessandro Barbero to the soccer player Mario Balotelli. It all seems to be over, however, as the two have fallen out, accusing each other of meanness, manipulation, negligence and other meanness in a series of videos that have garnered a lot of attention.
In short: Luis Sal had not appeared on the show for several months and this had fueled many theories and questions about what happened between the two, with no official explanations given. In the end, Fedez published a lengthy video on Thursday saying that the problems started when they took part in a program organized on the occasion of the Sanremo Festival, which Fedez wanted to do but Luis Sal didn’t. It was “challenging,” Fedez said, and after that they took a break to think about what to do with their podcast. According to Fedez’s version, after a few weeks Luis Sal decided he didn’t want to do Mussio Selvaggio anymore because “it took on a connotation more reminiscent of Federico than Luis”. This led to an argument between the two.
Luis Sal’s version isn’t much different: he says that for some time he’s been asking Fedez to change some things on the show, where he felt the singer talked too much about himself and kept interrupting the guests ( that was actually the case). , and the same Fedez had admitted it several times). The two then disagree on how the ensuing discussion went: Luis Sal says Fedez delegated management of the matter to his mother, who acts as his manager, and to the lawyer. He adds that he “was dragged into a little game that he’s very good at.”
Fedez then published another reply, saying that “the story of the egocentric exploiting Luis is true, but up to a point” and accusing him of asking him 600,000 euros, a disproportionate sum, he was told to take his stake in a company they had started just before the falling out. He also accuses him of continuing to get views from “Wild Moss” despite not working on it for months, and of jeopardizing the salaries of the various people working on the podcast.
