They say I was offended by the jokes, I don't give a fuck. A family member insulted me while I was being operated on for my cancer: Fedez on breaking up with Pio and Amedeo

Fedez has denied claims that he ended his friendship with comedy duo Pio e Amedeo over jokes made during their TV appearances. Speaking on Gianmarco Zagato and Nicole Pallado’s podcast Tavolo Parcheggio, the rapper clarified that the rift was not caused by the pair's comedic remarks, but rather by a personal incident involving one of their family members while he was undergoing cancer treatment. During the interview, Fedez described the situation as unpleasant. He explained that the real issue stemmed from a post published by the brother of one of the comedians while he was in the hospital receiving surgery for pancreatic cancer. The post contained insults directed at him, which he found offensive. Fedez emphasized that this was the true cause of the falling-out, not the jokes they had previously exchanged on television. “I can talk about it, but I don’t care anymore,” Fedez said. “No, we’re not in good relations. We were very close friends, but after they started insulting me, it’s fine with me. It was a bad thing that happened.” He added that Pio e Amedeo have been avoiding the topic, choosing instead to downplay the situation when they appear on podcasts. The relationship between Fedez and Pio e Amedeo had long been positive, marked by mutual respect and collaboration. They shared a segment of their popular show Emigratis, filmed at Chiara Ferragni’s home in Los Angeles. However, tensions began to rise following a public exchange at the Seat Music Awards in 2021. During that event, the comedians accused Fedez of using controversy around the Rai broadcast of the Concertone del Primo Maggio solely for promotional purposes. They claimed he was exploiting social media traffic to sell products. Fedez responded swiftly, expressing frustration with their accusations. He remarked, “I hope one day to become an anti-establishment figure like you. Tomorrow I’ll start walking the streets calling everyone a ngger and a fckhead just to get a bunch of smiles.” Despite these past disagreements, the friendship between Fedez and Pio e Amedeo had remained intact until recently. The latest conflict appears to have escalated due to the personal attack from the comedian’s relative during Fedez’s medical procedure. This incident seems to have deepened the divide, leading to a more permanent estrangement than before. While both parties have expressed disappointment, there is little indication that either side will attempt reconciliation soon. The situation remains unresolved, with Fedez focusing on his health and recovery, and Pio e Amedeo continuing their work without direct engagement on the matter. What lies ahead remains uncertain, though the emotional weight of the incident suggests the relationship may not recover easily.
