Samba singer and federal deputy Leci Brandão (PC do B) expressed her support for hip-hop after singer Ed Motta stated that “whoever listens to [the genre] is stupid” during a live on Instagram on Tuesday, 11 In response, Leci Brandão, 79 years old, used her social networks this Friday, the 14th, to defend the musical style.
The singer and songwriter published a sequence of photos holding signs that spelled out the following message: “For restore the truth: anyone who listens to hip-hop is not stupid. Listening to and doing hip-hop is resistance. Anyone who attacks hip-hop is elitist. Anyone who thinks they represent black culture and doesn't recognize hip-hop is wearing a hat. No further. #RespectHipHop.” Although she did not mention Ed Motta directly, Leci wrote in the caption: “Connoisseurs will understand. And that's the end of the conversation.”
In the live that generated the controversy, Ed Motta, Tim Maia's nephew, said that “intelligent people listen to jazz or classical music.” “I’m not f***ing white. I am black, but I represent the most sophisticated aspects of the race. Anyone who listens to hip-hop is stupid… Without exception”, declared the 52-year-old singer.
Motta also criticized comedian Rafinha Bastos: “The other day, I saw an excerpt from an interview with this idiot Rafinha Bastos: 'Ah, because hip-hop is the type of music I like to listen to the most'. The guy is an idiot”, he stated.

Former BBB Leidy Elin, participant of "BBB 24", has been facing a wave of racist attacks since leaving the reality show. The 25-year-old trancista revealed that she receives offensive messages on her social networks daily. In some of the messages, internet users call her a "monkey" and make insults related to the color of her skin, in addition to wishing her death.
This Thursday, the 26th, Leidy's legal advisor released a note official informing that the former BBB will take legal action against those responsible for the racist attacks.
In light of the public complaint made by Leidy on social media, several fellow prisoners expressed solidarity. Lucas Buda, one of the program's participants, commented: "Come on, sister! Count on me." Marcus Vinicius, another ex-BBB member, wrote: "We really have to go after this bunch of idiots! Criminals!".
Alane and Cezar Black, who participated in previous editions, also expressed support. "Very right friend! I'm with you", said Alane. Cezar, on the other hand, lamented the racism still present in Brazil: "Unfortunately, sometimes veiled, sometimes openly, we still live in a country like this. Stay strong, my dear."
Leidy Elin faced great exposure during her participation in "BBB 24", and the negative repercussions after conflicts with favorite participants of the public resulted in massive attacks on the internet. The former BBB revealed that, upon returning home, she fell into depression, partly due to the attacks suffered by her and her family.
"I really wanted to make a video talking about Yellow September, but I don't have the strength for this", said Leidy. "I fell into depression a month after leaving the program and I struggle with it every day." She also highlighted that she had never faced psychological problems before participating in the reality show.
At the beginning of the week, Leidy Elin recorded a video in a bikini, where she shows the changes her body has undergone due to emotional exhaustion. "Would you like to take a tour of your body? I'm going to tell you how our emotions impact our body", he reported. The former sister said that she had never gone through these changes before and that she is trying to get back into the physical shape she had before the program.
