After leaving the Gericinó Penitentiary Complex in Bangu, in the West Zone of Rio, on the 3rd, funk singer MC Poze do Rodo has surprised fans by showing a new phase in his life. Known for his ostentatious lifestyle and controversial lyrics, the 26-year-old artist has started sharing motivational messages on social media, exalting faith, the importance of family and encouraging his more than 15.9 million followers on Instagram to pray daily and get closer to God.
PASTOR POZE?


Poze, who was arrested for five days accused of defending crime and involvement in drug trafficking, has been attending an evangelical church, dedicating himself to reading the Bible and using his social media profiles to express gratitude and seek spiritual peace.


I hope that God in heaven allows us to touch people's hearts and lets me live in peace with my golds."


This Monday (9), for example, the singer publicly thanked the return of his gold necklaces, seized during the police operation by the Narcotics Repression Unit (DRE), which took place in his luxurious mansion in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the West Zone of Rio, which resulted in his arrest, and demanded the return of other assets, such as cell phones and tablets.

“I am very attached to God. Even more so now. I am even reading the Bible. I am more focused on the presence of God. […] Our Father in heaven is very big in our lives. In mine, I know that He has a huge, gigantic purpose. I believe, amen,” he said.


This Tuesday (10), the artist left a message for his fans again:

“You who just woke up, it doesn’t cost anything to kneel down and ask Him to keep you, protect you, bless you and give you a great day. If possible, pick up the Bible and read at least part of it.” Poze also wrote in one of his posts: “The Bible is the only book you read whose author is present at the time of reading. Oh, glory.”

VENT

In a statement published on the 5th, Poze stated that the police were now targeting his wife, influencer Viviane Noronha, and classified the situation as a "persecution" of his family. "My family can't take this persecution anymore, what's this? Don't you have a heart? Don't you have a family?", wrote the funk singer, visibly shaken.

According to information, Viviane was summoned to give a statement at the Narcotics Repression Department (DRE), where she will have to clarify statements made previously, in which she accused police officers of having stolen jewelry from her home during an operation.

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.


According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.


FINE AMOUNT


The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.

In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."


ABSENCE OF AUTHORIZATION

The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.
