Fedez and that embarrassing question on Pomeriggio 5

For some time Fedez And Afternoon 5 they have a relationship that is based on stakeouts under the house and hot phrases that hopefully will be shared by newspapers in order to go viral. It all started with the rapper’s marital crisis with Chiara Ferragniwith the correspondent Michel Dessì who began to intercept Fedez on several occasions to ask him about the status of his marriage, whether or not he would go to the Versace fashion show that evening and so on. It goes without saying that, after the interview with Beasts and after a new trial with Codacons, the Canale 5 program is back on the attack, catching Fedez at a propitious moment to ask him some questions. «We told Rienzi, the president of Codacons that you were willing today to bring him here with us and make peace and he says he doesn’t feel up to it», Dessì asks him. «Strange, because Mr. Rienzi seems to me to care about public utility activities for people. In my opinion this was a good way, rather than to make peace, to find common ground on which to do beautiful things and they could give us a hand, a missed opportunity. Amen», replies Fedez before the journalist reminds him that the day they speak is Chiara Ferragni’s birthday. «Can we wish her a happy birthday together?».

Hence the frost. Aside from the fact that Fedez and Chiara Ferragni no longer follow each other on Instagram, even if it is logical to think that the two continue to feel each other above all for their children, the question raises one’s nose because, faced with a man who spoke of the painful end of a relationship and the slow return to normality, what response did he expect to receive? «But Michel, I give you the opportunity to do some nice journalistic things and you screw everything up; but in your opinion, if I have to wish them well, I’ll wish them personally, not with you! Make them yourself!», Fedez rightly replies, who has often enjoyed mocking the journalists who obsessively deal with his private life since the crisis began with Ferragni. It goes without saying that he questions like the one addressed to him by Afternoon 5 lead us to think that Fedez is somewhat right, because Journalistically, such a question actually has no reason to exist: it is pure entertainment, a provocation that was hoped to lead to a reaction even if the result was decidedly more sad, at times uncomfortable not only for Fedez but also for the spectators.

The scene ends with Dessì wishing Chiara Ferragni a happy birthday in front of the camera and with Fedez who, between embarrassment and amusement, remains in the background except to talk about his charity work – «Why is it important for me to give to charity? Honestly because I go to bed and feel fulfilled about the role I have in this world and a number of things. Even to hear me say good? Yes. I was a cancer patient and therefore I understand how much this can have an impact on families. The criticisms? They don’t interest me. The words of those who criticize are carried away by the wind” – and of the doubts that have affected his fundraising after his wife’s pandoro scandal. A sensible question this time that gets an answer worth repeating: «It was inevitable that it was like this because when you team up it’s obvious that if the shit gets into the fan it also gets the person next to you. That said, I’m very happy because this has given me the opportunity to sift through all the activities I’ve done from 2012 to today and no one has been able to challenge me for anything». Perhaps we should remember more about the right and most appropriate things to ask instead of throwing jokes that take their time.
