The popular Italian television show, "Le Iene Show," is set to air its final episode of the season on March 25, 2025, featuring a fascinating segment with rapper Shiva, who recently found freedom after a sentence reduction.
Hosted by the dynamic duo Veronica Gentili and Max Angioni, the show will showcase a variety of guests, including Gabry Ponte, Vladimir Luxuria, and Fabrizio Moro. In an exclusive assignment, reporter Nicolò De Devitiis will highlight Shiva’s first moments of freedom after his release from house arrest, which followed a recent court decision that reduced his sentence for numerous offenses.
Back in July, Shiva was sentenced to an impressive six years and six months in prison due to serious charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons, and receiving stolen goods. Now, with a lighter sentence, he’s set to enjoy activities he has sorely missed over two years of detention, such as going to the cinema and performing live.
Interestingly, one of the highlights of this segment will see De Devitiis and Shiva visiting the infamous 'crime scene,' the area outside his recording studio where the rapper had previously fired at two members of a rival gang in self-defense. This visit serves as a pivotal moment for the artist, reflecting on his past while stepping into a new chapter of his life.
De Devitiis’ earlier interaction with Shiva began months ago when he visited the rapper while he was under house arrest. Their time together explored Shiva's daily life, which involved not only music but also caring for his newborn son. The duo spent quality time playing football and changing diapers, providing a touching insight into the rapper's pressures and ambitions.
The episode will also take a critical turn, as Alice Martinelli reports on a disturbing group sexual assault case involving two minors from Reggio Calabria, just two days following a significant court ruling that concluded with six convictions and six acquittals. Parents of one of the victims bravely chose to speak out about their journey, shedding light on the challenges and pain they have faced desde initially reporting the incident to the present day.
Additionally, viewers will participate in a contest titled "Questa La So," allowing them the chance to win 1,000 euros in gold tokens for each game round played. This interactive segment promises to engage the audience and add an exciting element to the episode.
The show's creator, Davide Parenti, has crafted another memorable episode with Antonio Monti directing. Those eager to catch all the latest happenings can stream the program, even from abroad, via the show’s website.
Meanwhile, a different focus featured in the upcoming segments involves Kid Yugi, another rising star in the Italian rap scene. Nicolò De Devitiis dedicated 48 hours with him to create a well-rounded portrait of the young artist's life—his past, present, and aspirations for the future.
Francesco Stasi, known as Kid Yugi, was born in Massafra on April 14, 2001. He began rapping as a teenager within the group Saints Mob. His career took off with the release of his first single, "Grammelot," in February 2022, attracting attention from Thaurus Records. Following this, he has steadily released successful singles and albums, garnering a loyal fanbase along the way.
By 2023, Kid Yugi participated in the acclaimed format "Real Talk," subsequently releasing the hit single "Minaccia." His first album, "The Globe," went gold in 2022 while his second album, "I nomi del diavolo," debuted at number one on the FIMI album chart in 2024, receiving platinum certification.
During his two-day adventure with De Devitiis, Kid Yugi reflected on his hometown's challenges, notably the Ilva steel plant, which he viewed as a double-edged sword—offering jobs while simultaneously causing pollution and health issues.
In their candid car conversations, the two discussed the everyday issues faced by young people, including practical matters like not triggering the car alarm and the pervasive culture in Southern Italy.
As the episode draws to a close, both segments promise to deliver compelling and emotional stories, entreating the audience to reflect on themes of freedom, responsibility, and the ongoing struggles within society.
For those interested in music, drama, and social impact, this finale of "Le Iene Show" is surely not to be missed.
