MANESKIN / ACCUSATIONS FROM FRANCE: “DAMIANO HAS SNIFFED COCA”. THE BAND: “WE ARE AGAINST DRUGS” AND SUBJECT TO THE DRUG TEST
The great victory of the Maneskin all’Eurofestival which brings the continental award back to Italy after 31 years is accompanied by controversy. L’accusation is very heavy and has been raised on social networks after a post by Paris Match a French magazine that points the finger up Instagram versus Damiano, the frontman of Maneskin, accusing him of having taken cocaine on live television with the complicity of the other members of the band. The Italian group on Instagram rejects the accusations, “We are shocked, we are against drugs, we have NEVER used cocaine.”
The French journalist tweeted: “Great tension at #Eurovision with the image of the coke rail of a member of the Italian team … the organizers are in discussion to find out what to do. “The same French journalist on Twitter he then wrote again during the night: “Continuation and end of the Eurovision2021 saga because we do not let ourselves go: the Italians will do the drug tests but it will remain there, whatever the result … no one wants scandal“.

MANESKIN / ACCUSATIONS FROM FRANCE, SELVAGGIA LUCARELLI DEFENDS DAMIANO: “INFAMANT LIE”
A defence of Damiano and the group of Maneskin the journalist immediately took sides Wild Lucarelli with a post on Facebook: “It’s as incredible as it is serious that the French newspaper Paris Match, both in its official Instagram profile and through the tweet of one of its journalists, writes that the Maneskins took cocaine last night”, wrote Lucarelli . “Incredible because only an idiot – he added – could think that someone would start taking cocaine worldwide, with the drug resting on the table. Serious because the victory of 4 very young boys is defiled by a slanderous lie, without even a journalist take the trouble to watch the offending video, in which it is clear that Damiano is just bowing his head with his fists clenched in emotion. I hope Sony and Maneskin will sue them. Shut up and good French friends, come on. “
