In the summer of 2019, after the release of the hit "Margarita", she started a relationship with the Italian rapper Marracash.[40] The couple split up in the winter of 2021.[41]

Modelling career

Music style and influences

In an interview on Fanpage.it Elodie affirms "I'm a girl born in a low-income housing project, that's why rap, naked and raw, is a good representation of where I grew up, and I like that." and cites young Italian rappers beba, Chadia and Madame as examples of "women of my generation who are not afraid to show this side. We are fierce."[63] In an interview with Rolling Stone Italy, Elodie speaks about her influences: Etta James, Raf, Kaytranada, Nina Simone, Beyoncé and Italian singers Giorgia, Mina and Lucio Battisti.[64][65] She also cities Amici's coaches Emma Marrone and Elisa.[66]

Her music is inspired by pop, R&B, rap, reggae, and urban music.[67]

Philanthropy

Elodie is an activist and supporter for the LGBT rights in Italy, often siding against the right-wing political party Lega Nord, regarding the campaign to pass the Italian anti-homophobia law.[68][69]

Following the speech given by Giorgia Meloni, leader of the right-wing political party Fratelli d'Italia, at the 2022 convention of the Spanish far-right party Vox, Elodie said when interviewed by Peter Gomez Homen: "It's not up to you, you're not God, you don't even come close. This is what disturbs me most about fascism. We can have different ideas, see life in a different way, but there is no need for all that animosity, that nastiness. [...] It is easier to point and lash out at others for frustrations that do not concern the lives of others, but our way of life. It is much easier to lash out at black people, at gays."[70] After the 2022 Italian government crisis, Elodie took to her social media profiles to express her disappointment with the political programme of the right-wing party Fratelli d'Italia.[71]

The singer often points out that she was discriminated for her skin color and social status as a child, being a victim of racism.[72][73][74]

Elodie has also spoken out for women's rights, calling herself a feminist, recriminating sexism and judgmental behavior toward women's social mores.[75][74]
