Fedez accused of having copied the cover of Penny Dreadful for the single Allucinazione Collettiva

There has been some controversy linked to the latest song published by Fedez, Collective Hallucination. The song is doing very well in terms of numbers and is also getting a lot of buzz due to its content and the various references to his ex-wife and their marriage. But not only that. The cover of the single ended up in the sights of social media users. Fedez has in fact chosen to use a strong image that depicts a naked body, crouched on itself to form a skull with its mouth wide open.

Too bad this isn't an unpublished imagebut the cover of the first season of the horror series Penny Dreadful, an American television series created by John Logan and released in 2014.

The public obviously noticed it and, without considering that Fedez's is a simple homage, accused him of plagiarism.

“Copied exactly from the Penny Dreadful poster. They just added the tattoos“, commented a user on Instagram. “The cover is copied from one of the most beautiful and unattainable TV series ever: Penny Dreadfuthere,” wrote another. “But don't you have any graphic designers with imagination? It's para para the poster of a series called Penny Dreadful, eh!?“, “But have you at least seen Penny Freadful since you copied the poster?” “Could misplacing the image of the poster of that absolute masterpiece by Penny Dreadful be just a communication or technical error? How sad” other users wrote.

Fedez didn't respond to the criticism, after all what should he have said? In his IG stories he had already published the cover of Penny Dreadful, specifying his homage to the series.

In fact, the single's artwork is a tribute to the cover of the Anglo-American horror TV series “Penny Dreadful” made by Pablo Matil, which tells the origins of literary characters such as Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll, Dracula and many other legendary characters, trapped in Victorian London.

A tribute, not plagiarism. Something that has been done very often by many artists, including Sfera Ebbasta and Marracash, but perhaps, since it is Fedez, the comment becomes more savage than for others.
