The weekend's beef involving the cancellation of one of MC Daniel's shows is still paying off. After the singer reported flaws in the event's structure, such as scattered wires and columns supported by pieces of wood, the organizer, Alex Souza, from Leko Eventos, decided to show that everything was authorized and approved.
The column had exclusive access to reports and authorizations from the competent bodies, which inspected everything before MC Daniel arrived. Among them are the Fire Department, the Goiás Architecture and Urban Planning Council and the Regional Engineering and Agronomy Council (Crea).
In a statement, issued this Monday (3/6), the Fire Department confirmed the conference of the place where the presentation of the funk player, who is in the cast of Dança dos Famosos, from Domingão com Huck, would take place.
“The 9th Military Firefighter Battalion informs that the Jet Party Festival event , which took place in Caldas Novas, from May 31st to June 1st, 2024, was inspected and certified by the Military Fire Department of the State of Goiás”, he informed.
Understand the confusion
Last Saturday night (1/6), an MC Daniel show in Caldas Novas, Goiás, ended in confusion. This columnist who writes to you had access to an exclusive video from the event organizer, Alex Souza, from Leko Eventos, where he gives details of the problem and states that the funk singer refused to go on stage, despite fulfilling all the requirements in the contract.
“Once again a joke, a lack of respect, from these people who think they can harm other hardened people. Paid hotel, paid backline, 100% paid hotel. Here's the thing, we're here to fight. Naughty, bum. [He's leaving] without explanation, without anything”, he said.
And he continued: “Cowardice. This guy doesn't represent music. It's rubbish, if it's up to us, never again. Burglar! Give us our money back, bum. We met the demands and the guy does this dirty trick.”
When contacted, Alex explained that he was outraged by the lack of commitment from the artist, who had already received the fee:
“Everything was 100% paid. We went to the police station, they gave one version [MC Daniel's team] and we gave another. The delegate ordered it this way [not to register an incident], because according to him, it was a commercial disagreement. We are setting up the case against them”, he pointed out exclusively to the column.
However, on social media, MC Daniel shared some videos arriving at the hotel and clarified the reason for not presenting himself. In the images, the boy shows the stage, which was large, being supported by pieces of wood:
“I didn't want to have to post this, but unfortunately it will be necessary. Stage structure based on tree trunks. No return, no light, no effects... calm down, there's more!”, he wrote in the caption of the story published on Instagram.
Then, he showed off the rest of the space, with lots of scattered wires and a part of the loose stage support hardware. A person from the artist's team holds an iron and releases it, confirming that there was no possibility of the piece holding the structure. Furthermore, the stage floor was shaking, due to the weight of people moving on top of it.
Afterwards, MC Daniel showed a conversation between his production and the event organizers, who took on the problem : “Our mistake, sorry about that.” In the caption, the musician stressed: “How do you do a show on top of wood and with the entire stage loose? Without sound, vans, monitor, cables, security, light and effect? Only if I were alone and sang while hitting the palm of my hand.”
Finally, Daniel pointed out that one of the contractors cursed his collaborators, hurling racist insults at a member of his team, calling him black. “They still called my technical producer a slut and a slut, for not complying with the basic technical show rider”, he concluded.

Living a special moment on and off the field, Arrascaeta received great news in his personal life : Flamengo's number 10 will be a father for the first time . This Monday (1st), the star revealed that his wife Camila Bastiani is pregnant with a boy.
On social media, the couple posted the news with the caption: "We're waiting for you, son," accompanied by a blue heart, symbolizing the baby's gender . The pregnancy had already been announced on June 30, indicating that the Flamengo midfielder's son is at least three months old.
The arrival of his first child comes during one of the most memorable years of Arrascaeta's career. By 2025, the Uruguayan has 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 games, figures that put him close to equaling his career-best scoring record for Flamengo , set in 2019 with 18 goals. In terms of assists, his goal is to surpass the 19 he recorded in both 2019 and 2022.
Last Sunday (31), against Grêmio, the number 10 shone again. After exchanging passes with Pedro, he gave a subtle touch, almost like a "snooker shot", leaving no chance for goalkeeper Tiago Volpi . Despite the beauty of the goal, the afternoon ended in a draw, as the opposing goalkeeper himself converted the penalty that decreed the 1-1 draw at Maracanã.
Now, Arrascaeta focuses on defending the Uruguayan National Team in the World Cup Qualifiers . The next commitment will be on Thursday (4), against Peru, at the Centenario Stadium, in Montevideo. Next, on September 9, Uruguay faces Chile, in Santiago.
In a comfortable position in the standings, La Celeste needs just one point out of a possible six to mathematically confirm its place in the World Cup. So far, Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil have already secured their place , while Chile is the only team with no chance of qualifying.

The lawyers also emphasized that all obligations are documented and proven in court. "All payments have been duly made and proven in court. The information disclosed is not true. The athlete reaffirms his commitment to transparency and warns that any false publication that affects his honor or that of his family will be subject to appropriate legal action," the statement added.
While dealing with legal issues, Léo Pereira continues to work normally with the Flamengo squad. The next challenge will be against Grêmio, on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Iconic singer of Rio music and supporter of Mais Querido, master of partido-alto and founder of Cacique de Ramos, passed away this Friday

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.
