Fedez, the interview: drugs, attempted suicide, cancer, Chiara Ferragni
In an interview with Francesca Fagnani on Rai2, the rapper told details of his private life that he had never revealed before. From drug use to suicide attempts, from the marriage that ended with Chiara Ferragni to the relationship with Luis Sal.
«Fedez, what kind of beast do you feel?» . «A puffer fish, if you break its balls it swells, if you don't know how to cut it, it becomes deadly. If you know how to handle it, it's good." Thus begins Francesca Fagnani's interview with Fedez which aired on Rai2 . After the political controversies aroused by the possible presence of Fedez in the program last autumn - about which Fagnani now jokes, "they tried to divide us, but they didn't succeed" - and which had effectively put the interview on stand-by , the Milanese rapper finally sat on Belve 's stool.
Adolescence: the bullying suffered, drugs and attempted suicide
Fedez spoke of his adolescence in the suburbs, marked by bullying and drug addiction, to which he traces the suicide attempt at just 18 years old. Explaining how the drug had catapulted him into a depressive state: «I used MDMA. A short but intense year. I have experienced firsthand what addiction means." To get out of that situation, the role of the parents is fundamental (the mother Tatiana is the head of her company which has a turnover of 70 million euros a year). And rap. Fame saves him even if Fedez admits the delirium of omnipotence in the first moments. "There was, but fortunately or unfortunately I don't think highly of myself."
The illness
Fedez admitted, becoming emotional, that the disease - a pancreatic tumor - was one of the most difficult tests he had to face, from a personal point of view and in his relationship with his wife Chiara Ferragni . «Chiara and I have gone through many difficult moments, such as my illness. They have been three very complicated years and unfortunately we didn't hold up." When Francesca Fagnani asks Fedez if the illness has improved him, he is very frank. «No, I'm still the same old piece of shit. We need to get out of the narrative whereby when you face illness or a difficult period you necessarily have to come out of it better."
What happened with Chiara Ferragni: the end of the marriage and the alleged betrayals
Fedez does not hesitate to define the sexual component as the basis of his falling in love with Chiara Ferragni . Which he had known after mentioning her in the verse of one of his songs. “The sexual connection between us was something I rarely experienced.” To Francesca Fagnani 's question: «Can I ask you when your love really ended?» Fedez responds with a dry "No, he can't". Although, returning to the topic later in the interview, the singer makes it clear how Pandoro-Gate gave the final blow to a marriage already in crisis. «I find out about this thing here when it comes out. I also have a foundation, I have always done charity work in a certain way, losing money. You discover that a deal is managed in this way, and you ask yourself: how is it possible?"
Fedez's anger over the Balocco case: «His manager is also to blame»
At this point Fedez is a river in flood. He explains how difficult it was to have to deal with a mistake made by others from his point of view. Without being able to react in the way that would have seemed right to him - "even perhaps making a bigger mess" , he admits. « The fact that I took the shit without guilt is there, the thing that hurt me was having to answer for something I didn't do. I would have handled it another way. But I'm sorry that everyone sees the bad faith. I am sure, however, that there is no bad faith. She then decided to take all the responsibility." Francesca Fagnani at this point asks Fedez if he is referring to the managers of his wife's company. «Only one, there is only one», replies Fedez without naming names, but making it clear who he was referring to.
The alleged betrayals and the relationship with Chiara Ferragni
The tension between Fedez and the host of Belve became palpable due to the questions posed to the singer about Fedez 's alleged betrayals. In recent weeks the weekly magazine Chi ha stated that among the reasons that led to the end of the marriage with Chiara Ferragni there would also have been a relationship between the singer and Paola Di Benedetto . Upon discovery of which, all members of the Ferragni family would suddenly stop following the TV starlet on Instagram. When asked by Francesca Fagnani if he had ever cheated on his wife, the rapper replied piquedly: "It makes me laugh, until I was married I was gay, when I break up then I like women." "Is the rumor that he was gay or that he cheated more true?" «No, I'm not gay. But I'm surprised by the lightness with which the topic is treated. Right now there are rumors that I have been with a girl, who has a job. But how lightly do you call her a homewrecker?".
Despite the end of their marriage - he still defines Chiara Ferragni as "my wife" , specifying that he uses the term "only legally" - , Fedez spoke with respect and gratitude towards Chiara Ferragni , defining her as the most important woman in his life and the mother of his children. He clarified that their separation was not caused by cheating, but by a series of problems that they have accumulated over the years. He also expressed hope that the climate between them will improve with time for the sake of his children.
The relationship with Luís Sal
"I really loved him . " On the other separation that has affected him in the last period, that from his friend and co-host of the very popular podcast-broadcast Muschio Selvaggio , Luis Sal , with whom he explained very briefly that he doesn't believe he wants to re-establish relationships.
