Erness responds to disqualification from Amici 26

Rapper Ernesto Esposito, known as Erness, has addressed his disqualification from the talent show Amici 26 via social media. His departure followed the discovery by instructor Samurai Jay that his intended original track, ‘Colpa Mia’, was a plagiarism of ‘Antes de ti’ by Rusherking and Maria Becerra. Additional issues with other unreleased tracks led to his suspension and eventual removal from the program.

In an Instagram post, Erness admitted to his mistakes and expressed a desire to take responsibility for his actions. He stated that the experience served as a significant lesson, noting that ‘to do what I did leads nowhere except to failure.’ He expressed gratitude to the production team and specifically thanked Samurai Jay, whom he described as a person with a ‘heart of gold.’

Samurai Jay responded to the rapper’s message publicly, offering words of encouragement and telling him to keep his ‘head held high.’ Erness indicated that he intends to use this setback as a starting point for a new musical path.
