Italians are torn over Estonian Tommy Cash's Eurovision song Espresso Macchiato, with some calling for him to be banned by the contest while others said they'd get the wild lyrics 'tattooed'



Estonian rapper Tommy Cash's Eurovision song "Espresso Macchiato" has sparked controversy over its lyrics, which include stereotypes about Italy, such as references to the Mafia, spaghetti, and luxury. Some Italians, including far-right politician Gian Marco Centinaio and consumer rights group Codacons, have called for the song to be banned, while others find it humorous.
