When commenting on a post on your sister's profile on Twitter, the star of Italian music contested the media's exposure of the death of the world football phenomenon.

“In Italy, farewell to a man who was certainly very good at football, but very little appreciable for a thousand personal things that became public. Instead of goodbye to so many women mistreated, raped, mistreated. I really don’t know what to think,” he said. Laura Pausini. The post was later deleted.

Strong words that did not go unnoticed, generating heated controversy in singer's Instagram profile

On the one hand, there are those who have defended Pausini's comment, on the other, those who consider it inappropriate.

However, Maradona's death overshadowed the tributes dedicated to the delicate topic.

Fiorella Mannoia, another Italian singer, countered Laura Pausini’s objection: “If Michael Jackson Had he died yesterday, the same thing would have happened. When men so loved around the world leave, it's only logical that they do. He did not choose to die on World Day against Feminicide. Enough of this vulgar controversy.”
