Singer Anitta, 29, is disgusted with a cover of the American magazine Nylon that puts as a headline a sentence that the Brazilian artist would have said in relation to how Brazil behaves when it comes to sex. “In America, people just want to look cool. In Brazil, everyone wants to have fun and have sex. I want to bring that energy here”, highlights the publication.
The repercussion was immediate and many people criticized Anitta for considering that with this statement she tarnishes the image of Brazilian women abroad. “You had a birthday party these days and on Instagram itself you put the ‘party rules’. You still concluded that this is how Brazilians have fun. That’s what you really think, there was no mistake. , posted a follower.
“The so-called opinion makers, such as singers, artists, dancers, football players, need to be very careful with what they say. It is different from an ordinary person. The responsibility is great”, posted another.
However, the top 1 singer in the world says the line was taken out of context. “Did those words come out of your mouth? They did. But what was the question? What was the tone of your answer? Did you speak laughing? Screaming? What came after that speech? That’s the question. It goes from the professionalism and common sense of the journalist to transcribe the situation and not just the words”, wrote the artist on Twitter.
Anitta said she was sad for not having managed to get her own press officer to mediate the international interview. “Because if I could [que ele intermediasse], my love… Do you know when they were going to sensationalize me? Fuck * that ****. I’m breathing fire from my nose,” she blurted out.
Anitta also defended herself by confirming that she would never say anything derogatory about the Brazilian people and ended by describing the situation as “Frustrating. Tired. Discouraging”.
But there were also fans who supported Anitta and who decided to attack the magazine’s page on social networks. As there was no longer the cover image on the Nylon account, Brazilians used the last photo posted, of a kiss between Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, to criticize the magazine and ask for respect for Brazil and for the artist. “Respect Anitta and Brazil”, was the content of most of the phrases in the comments made by Brazilians.
