Disputes

With Emis Killa

Emis Killa and Moreno are certainly among the most popular young rappers of 2010s in the hip-hop made in Italy. Between the two, however, does not seem to run good blood... In 2009, during the Final battle of Tecniche Perfette (Freestyle battle), Moreno had attacked Emis Killa because he had not voted for him. Emis Killa swears that that episode has forgotten and he said: "We have now made peace, he's nonetheless apologized to me for having that reaction..." Yet, in spite of the peace, Emis Killa has ruled out a collaboration with Moreno, saying: "He has lost credibility in the eyes of those who represent the world of rap. Working with him I would do a lot of my fans unhappy, because the mass thinks in his own way... "
