The gesture sparked controversy when, on social media, he was associated with the drug dealer known as “Urso da Penha”, one of the leaders of the Vermelho Command, in the North Zone of Rio.

My manager said there had to be a celebration that resonated with people, I had no idea (which do) and I was inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. He looks like a bear and he has caught on. I have no words to say what it means to see a child imitating him,” he said.
