Italian rapper Fedez underwent
surgery on Tuesday after announcing last week that he was
seriously ill, Libero reported Wednesday
The 32-year-old did not say so explicitly, but the announcement
was taken to amount to a statement that he has some kind of
cancer.
Fedez had his operation at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan
after saying that "Tuesday will be an important day for me,
thanks to my wife (influencer and actress Chiara Ferragni) who
has been at my side day and night, thanks to my family, my
friends who have done all they could to keep my spirits up.
Thanks to out two stars (children) who manage to create magic
without even realizing and to give me the strength to face all
this".
Ferragni, 34, who with Fedez are collectively known as the
social media phenomenon 'The Ferragnez', said on Instagram
"happy first birthday to our (daughter) Vittoria. We took these
photos on Sunday, a few days early, because we knew that today
Daddy would be in hospital (but he'll be home soon). We love you
madly little potato".
Ferragni, who has 26.6 million followers, posted a photo of
herself, Fedez and their children Leone and Vittoria around a
gigantic pink birthday cake.
Announcing his illness last week, a tearful Fedez said he is
seriously ill and will have to "undergo a long path" of
recovery.
Fedez said he loved Ferragni, and their children "more than
ever".
He said: "I'm here to tell you that sadly they have found a
health problem, luckily with great promptness, which will lead
to a path of recovery.
"A major path that I'll have to take and which I feel I can
recount.
"Not now, not at this time in which I need to be close to my
family, my children.
"But which I feel I can recount in the future because when I
found out what I found out, reading stories of other people
comforted me".
Fedex is credited with being Italy's best-known and most
successful rapper.
