Singer Gabily, 26, said she felt embarrassed after being stopped by police at a blitz in Rio de Janeiro. According to her, a policeman would have been prejudiced because of the rhythm she sings: funk. When contacted, the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro had not yet responded.
“He asked, ‘Is the car in your name?’. And he asked, ‘What do you do? Are you a DJ?’. I said, ‘No, I’m a singer.’ [emendou]’from funk?’, and I [respondi] ‘It is’. He said, ‘These funk people are f*cking. I’m going to scan his car, because he’s a cloning champion,'” said she, who owns an Evoque worth more than R$150,000.
“As if a woman couldn’t have a car of that size. Speaking of funk, as if being a funker was something bad or criminal people. I felt without reaction, I swear. The guy approached me before Prohibition and didn’t even take a breathalyzer test “, said.
In June, Gabily released the project “Mix Tape da Bad Girl”, which already touched on the issue of prejudice that funk women suffered. In an interview with F5, she commented on the search for equality. “The man objectifies the woman in the songs, and when it’s a woman talking, he’s scandalous. It’s always been a very unequal scale, we fight because we deserve equality,” she said at the time.
