In late July, singer Valerio Scanu claimed he has been on a Mediaset blacklist since a 2016 dispute, noting that a 2022 appearance on the satirical show *Le Iene* was recorded but never aired after a prank involving Teo Mammucari and Belen Rodriguez. He said the segment was removed and that he was asked to delete related tweets, adding that he has only managed a single recent appearance on a Mediaset channel after a direct invitation.

A few days later, Scanu recounted a recent, “heavy” argument with a woman he described as very rude during an artistic setting. He said the incident was traumatic, that he initially could not recall the exact words, and that it contributed to his placement on the Mediaset blacklist and to strained relations with Belen Rodriguez. The interview emphasized the personal impact of the fight while linking it to the ongoing blacklist claim.
