BBB 22: Xand Avião plays with the name of Slovenia and profile calls him Safadão

Singer Xand Avião, 39, posted on Twitter that it will take a while to confuse the name of Slovenia, 25, participant of Big Brother Brasil 22 (Globo). But he received a funny response from her profile on the social network, which deliberately confused his name with that of another forró singer.

“I’m going to spend a little time confusing Slovenia and Slovakia. I apologize now friends,” Xand wrote on Twitter. The team that manages Slovenia’s profile replied jokingly: “There’s nothing, Safadão. It can confuse (laughs).”

The singer joined in the joke and replied: “My friend, you broke me”. A follower with a country name commented: “I thought I wouldn’t find a country name on anyone, just like my Tanzania!”

Xand retweeted the post from Tanzania and asked country-named followers to speak up. One woman replied that she has the name of Ljubljana, but the correct name of the Slovenian capital is Ljubljana. “City valley? I’m the capital of Slovenia. I think I should be in the BBB, along with my country.” The singer replied: “For 2023 let’s hope.”

Another woman commented that it is named after an Italian city. “Not a country…But Ravenna is a city in Italy…And when I thought it was unique, I already found a lot…and even a brand of products.”

Before Xand Avião, Slovenia also caught the attention of the Slovenian Embassy in Brazil due to the name being the same as the European country. “Good luck Slovenia! Sister of BBB 22 with the most beautiful name!” said an embassy post on its Twitter account. Netizens also joined in the fun. “Internationally recognized,” said one user.

Slovenia Marques was born in João Pessoa, Paraíba, but lives in Caruaru, Pernambuco. His father was inspired by the division of Yugoslavia in the 1990s to choose the unusual name. At home, she is called Duda by her family.
