 Italian rapper Fedez has sparked a political row after accusing the national broadcaster of trying to censor his condemnation of homophobia during a televised concert. Fedez said the broadcaster Rai had asked him to submit his planned remarks before the performance on Sunday. The rapper refused and went ahead with his criticism of homophobic statements by members of Italy's right wing league party. Rai denied trying to censor the rapper's button tweet. Fedez released a recording of a phone call with the deputy director of Rai3, a TV channel owned by the state broadcaster.
