Anitta reinforces criticism of billionaires and defends the wealth limit: ‘No one needs to have billions’

Anitta, 31, decided to put an end to the controversy over an interview she gave criticizing the existence of billionaires and defending a limit to the accumulation of wealth. In a long video published this Saturday (8) on the networks, the singer reinforced that she did not want people to make a wrong policy about the opinion she gave to a British podcast a few days ago.

During her participation in the program On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Anitta was asked if “you could create a global law, what would it be?”. She said she would create a limit on how much money each person would have and explained: “You can only have so far, from then on you have to donate. I understand that money comes to those who work hard, who make an effort. But beyond that ceiling, you don’t need more. No one needs so much. You need to share.”

“As I don’t want anyone doing wrong politics with my name, I decided to talk to you. You are using my name for things that are not true”, he began his outburst. She continued: “My answer to those who are too lazy to watch [a entrevista] and has only shared: ‘I think there should be a limit to money’. No one needs to have billions, no one has that need. I’m a long way from having billions and I don’t even plan on getting close.”

Anitta, who lost followers because of the music video about religions “Aceita”, denied that she had belittled those who work and struggle to have better financial conditions. “I never wanted to say that the person who works and wakes up with the intention of growing, has to give up all that and hand it over to someone who does nothing and wants to laze around. I also didn’t mean to say that the person who wants to laze around deserves die in misery. […] It’s very unfair the way people do politics nowadays, with so much misinformation”, he added.

The singer continued to speak of her dissatisfaction at seeing people sharing wrong or incomplete information. “Hypocrisy really is something that has never suited me and will never suit me. One thing I struggle with the most, I think, is hypocrisy”, comments Anitta, who also spoke about the reason for not disclosing attitudes in favor of others: “I refuse having to come here and tell people what I do or don’t do for others or whatever. This is a very private place for me.
