Marcelo D2 praises Atlético’s idol and highlights above Ronaldo: ‘Not even Fenômeno came close’

Last Wednesday (18), Fofocalizando host Cariúcha held a party in São Paulo. Celebrating 34 years and launching her cosmetics brand, she made waves at the celebration, with dazzling decoration and a dress full of sparkles. Furthermore, a top-notch menu, for all tastes, won over the guests.

"“I promised I won't cry. I'm very happy because it's the first party I've had. We've always been very humble, right? I I wanted to thank you because my life changed. I was a person that the whole of Brazil canceled me on and today, people can get to know Cariúcha, on podcasts and Fofocalizando", said Cariúcha before completing:

"I want to thank you Firstly, to God and the entire SBT family! I want to thank the girls, Patrícia [Abravanel] and Dani Beyruti, our CEO. Gratitude! Gossiping, he praised the presenter and demonstrated her performance in front of the cameras: “She's a lot of work! But it's a wonderful job. Cariúcha brings us joy. She has a great vibe and is happy all the time.”

Manu Bahtidão performed at the communicator's celebration, performing her biggest hits. Márcia Dantas and Daniele Brand, journalists from SBT, were impacted by the festivities.

Influencer Gracyanne Barbosa spoke for the first time about the participation of her ex-affair, Gilson Oliveira, in the rural reality show A Fazenda 16. The personal trainer became known after being identified as the pivot of the fitness muse's separation from Belo. In her speech, she declared surprise and seemed uncomfortable with the situation.

“About him being there [in A Fazenda] it is a surprise, because he said he was averse to appearing. But people surprise us and so does hypocrisy. I wouldn’t like to give this more of a stage”, pointed out the beauty, in an interview with journalist Fábia Oliveira.

Gracyanne Barbosa, in fact, assured that she does not intend to follow the program in which the boy, who initially didn’t like spotlight, participate.

“I can never watch reality because I don't have time for that. Especially now that I'm studying a lot”, said Belo's ex-wife.

“I can't support it without watching it, because I think you can only find out about reality by following it. We've had friends come in and show us something very different inside. I think it really messes with your head, so just watch it. And I’m not going”, concludes the famous woman.

Planet Hemp's lead singer, Marcelo D2, expressed criticism of the ostentatious theme present in trap lyrics, during a press conference at Rock in Rio 2024. The singer, who took to the stage with Planet Hemp last Sunday ( 15/9) and will return to the festival on Saturday (21/9) with a rap project, stated that the excessive appreciation of luxury and success in music of the genre can be a "trap" for young artists.

< Marcelo D2 was emphatic in his opinion about the recurring theme in trap: "I think it's all shit. This movement nowadays among younger kids, I think there's something that bothers me a little in this new generation, which is ostentation , I think it's a f*cked up trap." The musician warned that the reality of most favelas is still far from what is portrayed in the lyrics, emphasizing that "the favela has not won, it is still starving, without basic sanitation, without health."

CONTEXTUALIZATION AT ROCK IN RIO

The first day of Rock in Rio this year was dominated by trap, with performances by Brazilian artists such as Orochi, Oruam and Chefin, as well as American rapper Travis Scott. Trap has been gaining more and more space on streaming platforms, often highlighting themes related to luxury and success. However, for Marcelo D2, as long as favelas continue to face challenges such as lack of infrastructure and essential services, the victory speech will be superficial.

IMPORTANCE OF THE COLLECTIVE

D2 also mentioned rapper Emicida as an example of a more collective and less individualistic vision. "The street is us, it's not me", stated D2, reinforcing the idea that the community's true victory will come when all its members benefit, and not just a few. The musician highlighted that individual success does not represent a structural change in the living conditions of the majority.
