Italian rapper Fedez compared the world's second-ranked tennis player, Yannik Sinner, to Adolf Hitler in his new song.
Idman.biz, citing "Corriere dello Sport", reports that the artist posted a snippet of his song on social media, which caused a wave of criticism.
In the song, he uses derogatory expressions about many famous personalities.
"Italians have a new idol - his name is Yannik Sinner. A real Italian with an Adolf Hitler accent," - "Corriere dello Sport" quotes the lyrics of the song.
Yannik Sinner presents himself as Italian, although he was born in South Tyrol. His family's roots go back to both Italy and Austria.
