Ludmilla divides opinion and is accused of religious intolerance at the Coachella show


Singer Ludmilla speaks out after being accused of religious intolerance during a Coachella show in the United States

Singer Ludmilla was accused of religious intolerance after a show last Sunday, April 21, in Coachella, California, United States. The celebrity divided opinions when he showed a video showing the phase: “Only Jesus expels Tranca Rua from the people.”




After backlash and criticism, film owner Maldivas took a stand and said the scene had been taken out of context. Ludmilla emphasized that her goal with the images was to show the reality of a favela.

“When I told you that you would have to make an effort to say bad things about me, I didn’t think you would go that far. Today they took one of the images from the video on the big screen of the show at Rainha da Favela out of context, which features several recordings of spaces and realities with which I grew up and lived for many years, wanting to rewrite their meaning and putting myself in a position completely opposite to my own”, he began.

And he continued: “Rainha da Favela presents my favela, a real, naked favela, where I grew up, but, unfortunately, there are many evils: black genocide, police violence, poverty, religious intolerance and many other experiences of people who overcome obstacles, those who live in adversity, but don’t give up. This involves living in an often hostile environment, where at every step you have to face the difficulties of the favela.”

“Favela without filters”

Ludmilla explained that her presentation left no room for any interpretation other than the one she wanted to convey to the audience. “My show begins with a very explicit message, which leaves no doubt about anything! Then I present the reality over which this discourse must prevail! Of a favela without filters, without gluttony, without caricatural representations, a denunciation of the real I. I am here for what is real, and not for this showcase version imported to make foreigners think that this is a space reduced to funk, ass and beer.!” he declared.

“Don’t put me in that position. You know who I am and where I come from. Don’t try to limit where I go. I respect all people as they are and regardless of whatever faith, race, gender, sexuality or whatever makes them unique,” concluded.
