MC REBECCA REMEMBERS THE BEGINNING OF HER CAREER AND TALKS ABOUT HELP FROM LUDMILLA

Journalist Rachel Sheherazade used her social networks to vent and launch a hint after another edition of Domingo Record. The presenter, who debuted on the network about a month ago, did not hide her dissatisfaction with the criticism regarding the low audience numbers of her attraction.

In a publication, Sheherazade stated that "whoever gets likes on On top of hate, it's not a good thing", suggesting that the same goes for television ratings. The message was perceived as a response to the negative comments that have been circulating since her debut on the Sunday program.

On social media, many internet users understood the presenter's speech as an indirect dig at fellow presenter Celso Portiolli, who runs Domingo Legal on SBT. The talk show is Rachel's main competitor on Sunday afternoons and has maintained a solid second place in ratings, consolidating itself as unbeatable in the time slot.

Sheherazade's statement came shortly after an episode in which she would have mocked her former broadcaster, SBT, where she worked for several years. The gaffe happened precisely on the day of Matheus Ceará's debut in the Sunday magazine, a fact that also generated comments among the public.

DEFEAT IN THE AUDIENCE

Domingo Legal, once again, surpassed Domingo Record with a significant difference. According to the numbers released, Celso Portiolli's program reached the mark of 6 audience points, while Sheherazade's program had an average of around 3.4 points.

The main agenda of the Record edition was the press conference by comedian Matheus Ceará, who visited the new headquarters of the reality show A Fazenda 2024 and revealed some of the cast, but still failed to attract the necessary attention to beat the competition.

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.

This Friday (13), Rebecca debuts at Rock in Rio with the mission of celebrating community culture in a special performance alongside the precursor Funk Orquestra and singers MC Daniel and MC Soffia. The singer will perform at Paco Sunset and spoke about the importance of representing thousands of black girls from the outskirts, in addition to praising the occupation of funk at a major festival.

Rebecca also countered some conservative criticism of the lineup of funk players at the event, with right to big names in Espaço Favela in another edition. She also reinforces that "it's out of fashion" to speak ill of the rhythm.

"My participation will be a celebration of funk, of this favela movement that changes lives and carries so much meaning. I'm going to take it to the Sunset Stage a setlist composed of great hits from my career, Deslizo e Jogo, Cai de Boca, Repara and more!", said Rebecca in an interview with the portal "Quem" before completing.

"It doesn't matter what let them tell you, how many times you are rejected, how many times you are rejected, the road is long, but it's worth it. Women, black girls, your dream can come true, dream big and don't give up", concluded the funk singer.ROCK IN RIO

Rock in Rio will be held over two weekends in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, the event starts this coming Friday (13th), where there will be several performances by great singers and bands.
