Belgium's government on Thursday urged the Belgian soccer federation to change its mind and not choose a rapper known for lacing his songs with obscene and misogynistic lyrics to produce its official World Cup song. In its statement, the federation said the Women's Council had started the polemic against the federation soon after the artist's choice was made in November. But De Croo told legislators that "Instead of tackling the Women's Council, it should be logical that the football federation says it was wrong." Belgium has not yet released its World Cup song. The Women's Council has vowed that it will take further action.
