Kid Yugi takes the side of Tony Effe who was excluded from the New Year's concert

“The repression is reaching indecent peaks” wrote Kid Yugi on Instagram regarding Tony Effe's exclusion from the New Year's Eve concert in Rome.

The rapper, after being invited together with Mahmood and Mara Sattei to perform in Rome at the Circus Maximus on the occasion of New Year's Eve, was then killed without too many compliments for the lyrics of his songs considered violent and sexist.

Kid Yugi, who recently collaborated with Tony Effe in Pieces of 100, expressed his disappointment at what happened to his colleague.

Since I shared the last post with Tony, I'm getting all the insults from 50-year-olds who are happy because he was excluded from the big New Year's Eve concert. How bitter it is to see that you are so foolish as to think that by censoring an artist you can somehow stem some type of violence. The repression is reaching indecent peaks. You scare me more than any aggressive music, you are truly the evil of this world.

Anyone who agrees to take the place of a colleague who is being censored (in this and any other context) is asked to stay away from me. You disgust me more than anything”.
