The former member of the Dark Polo Gang in the eye of the storm for having recounted an episode linked to his adolescence lived in the center of Rome
The rapper and former member of Dark Polo Gang, Tony Effe, with “Sesso e Samba” in duet with Gaia will most likely lead the summer hits. But the success in the rankings clashes with the controversies that are erupting regarding some statements that emerged in the podcast “BSMT” by Gianluca Gazzoli. During his adolescence the rapper lived in central Rome.
“When I was in high school my father gave me 150 euros a week in pocket money. I mean, what should I do?“. To Gazzoli’s legitimate objections on the fact that in fact the amount was not small, the response was: “For me 150 euros were not much. At 17, however, I already smoked and already had a scooter. I was a poor man from the center. My revenge was economic, I don’t come from public housing, but I lived in a 90 square meter house and I felt inferior when I went to the house of X’s son who had the house with the swimming pool in Capalbio”.
Statements that raised a fuss among the comments on the clip posted on the podcast’s Instagram profile: “When you don’t work, money has no value“, “The presenter is desperately trying to extort some form of ethics or noble motivations from him but nothing, he insists that he just wanted the money”, “Now I’m starting to swear” and “600 euros a month at 17 years old without doing anything and complaining ”. These are just some of the users who have expressed their doubts regarding Tony Effe’s statements.
In the meantime, less than two weeks after its release, “Sesso e Samba” has already reached number 1 in the Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music charts, with over 5 million streams and over 2 million views of the video clip on YouTube, filmed in a car junkyard and transformed into a street stage with samba rhythms.
