Another marketing gimmick or a real descent into politics? Since yesterday on social media but also in television talks and in party secretariats, we talk about nothing else. Fedez purchased the domain fedezelezioni2023.it, for the moment inactive, with his company ZDF, which has the consonants of the rapper’s name lined up in reverse. Which would suggest that the more virulent half of the Ferragnez are preparing for a sensational take to the field in view of the political elections that should be held in 2023, provided that the legislature does not close early. But will it really be like this ?, many ask themselves, in a mix of curiosity, concern, disbelief and pure arrogance.
Federico Lucia, this is the real name of Fedez, does not confirm, does not deny and in all probability laughs at the countless tattoos while reading the substantial press review. And in the meantime he continues undaunted his frenetic activity on Instagram where in a few hours he launched the theme song for “The Ferragnez”, the TV series that on December 9 will be released on Amazon Prime and will tell the hidden part of the King Midas couple of social networks (assuming there is still one …), but also the new pre-order of the disc “Inhuman”, to be released on November 26, which after being associated with Francesco Vezzoli’s artwork t-shirts (sold out immediately), is now sold with three Panini cards, these too sold out immediately. Not only. In the role of conductor of “Lol”, last season’s Amazon Prime revelation program, spoiled “but I swear to you I’ve been cleared,” he chuckles in favor of mobile, part of the new theme of the contest between comedians who must resist laughter.
On closer inspection, however, there is no news: Fedez has been in politics for some time using the same media that all political leaders use today, that is social media, where he intervenes on the many issues proposed by current events, with the only substantial difference that his media strength, combined with the deadly one of his wife Chiara Ferragni, is definitely wider and more effective than that of any Salvini, Meloni or Letta.
Not only. For the rapper there is also the official date of his descent into the field, which took place live on television under the eyes of all during the May 1st Concert, when with trembling hands and voice broken by anger and emotion, he made the arrows of many members of the League who had become the protagonists of homophobic phrases as well as of the Rai which had tried to censor the monologue. Since then, nothing has been the same as before, in a crescendo of jeers, complaints and new positions. The one in defense of the Zan Bill, rejected in the Senate, which Ferragni wrote “Politicians, you suck” is sensational. However, the favorite target remains Matteo Salvini who was among the first to comment on the indiscretion: “Fedez in politics? It is the beauty of Democracy, present its ideas and then the citizens will decide. I would like a comparison with him on the Italy to come, I have already proposed it to him in the past without receiving an answer, I am always available “. Among the first to express themselves in the usual “colorful” tones too Vittorio Sgarbi: ” In politics we felt the lack of someone like Fedez, after the bitches … and Grillo and his people lacked a bullshit owner … and, so he can found the PSI, Stronz Party … and Italians ” ‘. And again: “The problem is how many of the former grillini will vote for him because his market is there. To me that of Fedez (the registration of an online domain for the 2023 elections, ed) seems more of a threat than a publicity stunt ”.
For now, however, Fedez continues to ignore them, just as he has ignored the invitation of the Rai supervisory commission to give its version on the May Day case. Nothing strange. The rapper knows perfectly well that in order to be in politics it is not necessary to take these challenges. Better to hit everyone on the social media, in which he has already won for a while.
