Calcutta and Francesco De Leo: what really happened, between the fist and the turnaround

While some, like Fedez, are looking for peace – in the last month and a half he has, in fact, reconciled with J-Ax, Rovazzi and Ghali – others are looking for war. This is the case of Calcutta which, according to what the indie singer-songwriter Francesco De Leo reported, he would have punched the latter behind the scenes of the last evening of the MiAmi Festival in Milan. “Tonight, towards the closing time of the last evening of MI AMI, I was attacked without any sense by Edoardo d’Erme aka Calcutta, who punched me in the face making my nose bleed”, wrote Leo, former founder of the group The Chamomile Workshopin an Instagram Story.

“There are several witnesses. It is right that you know what has happened. He is a violent person, he even threatened to beat a friend of mine. The thing that pisses me off is not the punch in the face that I received, but that an adult and wealthy person has threatened to put his hands on a woman, a friend of mine who was trying to make him come to his senses, instead of calming down, he even threatened to beat her up. Get a real idea of ​​who this sad individual really is. ” The accusation, of course, did not go unnoticed and led the Net to ask itself a thousand questions and, as often happens, to create hundreds of memes related to the alleged violent nature of Calcutta – in one of these, we see Calcutta in the role of Will Smith in the act of slapping De Leo.

Hence the decision, by Francesco De Leo, to return to the subject a few days later, again via social media: “It was not my intention to create a media case and expose Edoardo to interpretations without replies. It is now known to all that we had an argument that I impulsively posted here“. And again: «I don’t want to talk further about this thing. We have known each other for 10 years, we have done many concerts together … we will clarify what happened privately. I’m sorry all this happened. ‘ The thing that most struck about this story remains, however, the silence of Calcutta, which has cleverly chosen not to publicly comment on the accusation, probably choosing – as De Leo also pointed out – the path of private confrontation.
