Valesca Popozuda gave voice to the part of the public uncomfortable with attitudes considered disrespectful by the brothers in shows within BBB 24. The funk singer criticized machismo and the boxes that are seated in the presentations offered by the production, during the early hours of this Sunday (21 ).
Valesca's first messages took place during the performance inside the house. The singer did not shy away from the songs about libido and female sexual freedom that marked her career.
Some of them, like "Mama", were partnerships with Mr. Catra, who died in 2018. "He gave me the hand when I needed it most. So, black guy, you will always be with me. Today you are here with us", paid tribute to the funk singer.
The decision to keep the songs explicit had another meaning. Pagodeiro Rodriguinho criticized some of Ludmilla's lyrics with similar content to Valesca's last week.
One of them was the song "Vem, Amor", whose chorus mentions a sexual organ on another person's face. "I don't like it and I will never like it", said the singer to Wanessa Camargo, 41, and Yasmin Brunet, 35. Valesca, in fact, made a point of singing the section criticized by the confined person during his 23-minute performance.
It's worth remembering. Rodriguinho's son, composer Gaab, 25, also has songs with direct mention of genitals. This is the case of the hit "Tem Café", from 2017.
Valesca took advantage of the time at the party to release a new song along the same lines. She went to the sofa where Rodriguinho was sitting. When she got close to him, she turned her back and went down to the floor while dancing. The ex-farmer's sitting movement made the brother stand up so as not to be touched by her. The name of the hit was one of the most talked about topics in Brazil on X (formerly Twitter).
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder, who came through the ranks at the club's youth academy, has played a few minutes in 2025 and is attracting interest from European clubs.

The situation of 19-year-old prospect Matheus Gonçalves has taken on new dimensions in recent months. Despite praise from coach Filipe Luís, the attacking midfielder has appeared only 14 times this season , scoring two goals in 313 minutes played. Competition from players like Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata has made it difficult for him to establish himself in the first team, increasing the player's frustration.
The desire for a change almost came true when Gonçalves was close to signing with Cruzeiro for €3.5 million. However, the board backed down and kept the youngster on the roster. Even so, teams abroad continue to monitor the situation: CSKA Moscow, from Russia, and Olympiacos, from Greece , are monitoring the player and could formalize offers by the beginning of September, the transfer window deadline.
A product of the youth academy, Matheus made his senior debut in 2022 at the age of 17. The following year, he was loaned to Bragantino, where he made 13 appearances. In 2024, back at Mengão, he scored four goals in 36 appearances.
This year, his lack of minutes with the first team led to him also being used in the U-20 squad, where he scored two goals in a derby against Botafogo. Now, the attacking midfielder continues training and preparing for the U-20 World Cup , while also defining his immediate future. This information comes from the Mix Vale website.
Even amidst their lead in the Brasileirão and a lead in the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Flamengo's board faces challenges. In addition to Gonçalves' situation, the club is evaluating signings for the remainder of the season, with Gabriel Brazão and Lucas Beltrán as priorities.

Pedro, twice, and Plata guaranteed the goals that consolidated the team's isolated leadership in the competition . In addition to the result, the match was also special for De La Cruz , who returned to action after a period of absence.
After the final whistle, the Uruguayan spoke about the recent controversy involving doctor José Luiz Runco , stating that he was confident in his physical condition and reinforcing that he was fit for the rest of the season.
De La Cruz vents: "Nobody knows my body"
" Nobody knows my body better than me. Today I felt good . I'll keep working to keep playing. Then, the coach will put the players on the field. I'll try to be available for the upcoming games; I'm working on that. There's more on Wednesday," he said.
The midfielder then emphasized his focus on work and downplayed outside comments . He also revealed his family's support during the turbulent period behind the scenes at the club, with the former doctor being fired shortly thereafter.
"I stayed with my family. I think a lot has been said, a lot has happened . Now I'm not going to talk; I'm focusing on what I have to do. Regardless of what people say, I know what I have to do. I'm focused and I have to work hard to play. I'm calm. I came back feeling great today, and I'm very happy about that," he concluded.
After their Brasileirão victory, Flamengo turns their attention to the Libertadores. The Rio de Janeiro team faces Internacional again this Wednesday (20), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio.
