The mayor of Ladispoli, after the case created by Emis Killa’s participation in the New Year’s concert, decided to cancel the rapper’s performance.
“Although the artist has already performed in our city in 2022, we have decided, by mutual agreement with all those involved, in order to re-establish a climate of serenity, to cancel his performance scheduled for the evening of December 31st. as soon as possible we will communicate the changes to the event schedule”, wrote the mayor Alessandro Grando of the League on social media after the controversy over the singer’s sexist songs. “I understand the reasons of those who expressed opposition to the content of some texts – he underlined -, but our intention was never to convey the wrong messages”.
“Emis Killa himself clarified his position, recalling that the song is about putting yourself from the attacker’s point of view to talk about facts that, unfortunately, happen in real life – already seven years ago”, he specified. “We just want to give our young people the opportunity to attend a great event in their city for free, in a festive atmosphere”, added the mayor.
Emis Killa, sexist? I tell stories, whether good or bad
“In rap there is something called story telling. It means representing a story in rhyme, whether good or bad. In the piece I interpret, invent, tell facts that unfortunately happen, however unpleasant they may be. In the piece it is not Emiliano who speaks and I don’t even think I have to give too many justifications to those who don’t want to understand. In another much more recent story telling I play Renato Vallanzasca, I don’t know, do you want to saddle me with a few years in prison? Or we ban Denzel Washington from all cinemas since in “He got game” he kills his wife. You have to recover.” So the rapper Emis Killa responds to accusations of sexism rained down on him following the choice of the Municipality of Ladispoli to entrust him with the concert in the square at the end of the year.
“To get an idea of me in this regard you should talk to the women who are part of my life, from my family to my friends – adds the artist in a post on Instagram -. You can cancel all the concerts you want, ban rappers from the radio, get indignant as a group on social media, you will not thus change the reality that people like me have the courage to tell, even when it comes back to me in the worst way. Look for the guilty among the guilty, not among those who are on your side even though having another way of dealing with things.” Then Emis Killa posts a message from one of her fans, who says she was “the victim of a toxic relationship for a year and a half”, underlining that the rapper’s songs saved her. “These are the effects on people. Newspapers”, concludes the artist.
