Whindersson Nunes explains career break in 2022: ‘Connect me back’

Comedian Whindersson Nunes, 26, went to Instagram this Tuesday morning (21) to explain why he decided to withdraw from the stage in the second half of 2022, after going on tour before his career break.

“From the middle of next year, I think about not even being here. [Quero] live an adolescence with responsibility, because I kind of didn’t have adolescence. I was a child until I was 20 and after that I’ve been working forever. I’ve only done this until today. Now I want to connect back,” he began.

“I haven’t stopped yet. I’m going to do one last show,” he explained. “And when I say that, I mean one last show product, but I still need to do some introductions to get to this show and deliver it.” He says that the tour will go through Europe, the United States, Asia and Brazil, with the show “That’s Not A Cult”.

Whindersson made Stories after sharing a photo last Sunday night (19), talking about his last concert of 2021, held in Rio de Janeiro. In a long text published in the caption, he stated that the next show would be a farewell, “not forever because that doesn’t exist”.

The comedian says that while he doesn’t mind the fame, it “affected him on other levels”. “I think I still don’t know how to deal with it, I need to assimilate, and understand what to do with it”, he adds. “Deciding to disappear seems to put everything under my control again, gives me a new future, gives me a lot of ideas, and I’ll come back 10 times stronger, then yes, the planet will have to swallow!”, he says.

Recently, Whindersson revealed the fight against drugs in the final chapter of his biography “Living Like a Warrior”, written by Gabriel Chalita and released by Editora Serena. He said he immersed himself in drugs after the end of his marriage to singer Luísa Sonza, 23, in April 2020.

“When he broke up with Luísa, I also had my cliff [alusão à música de mesmo nome que Luísa gravou]. My way of dealing with these situations is very mine. I speak with silence. I talk to the pickup. And sometimes I say wrong. I admit that I was wrong. That drugs were destroying me.”

But Nunes reinforces that Luísa is not to blame for him sinking into drugs, because he was already a user even before meeting her, in 2017. “When I saw her, for the first time, I saw her in the effect of the drug. shining. It was the beginning of a journey.”

Social isolation due to Covid’s pandemic, which coincided with the end of the marriage, was another factor pointed out by the artist as the last thing to sink into drugs. He said that being alone and unable to leave the house made him take drugs without breaks.

“There were drugs and more drugs trying to stop whatever. A month. A month, and I’m sure it wasn’t Luísa to blame. And it wasn’t for her that I threw myself into this abyss. It was for me. It was for me. through a hole inside me. It was because of the absence of certainties in my life,” he said.
