Maraisa’s sister hit back at criticism she received for considering her alcohol consumption ‘exaggerated’ and said: ‘I’ve always done my job’
The singer Maiara woke up this Monday 5th, refuting the criticisms received, accusing her of “drinking too much” during a show of the duo Maiara and Maraisa last weekend, in Florianópolis, in which they also participated Simone Mendes. Maiara argued that rural men also drink alcohol, inferring that they would not be criticized as much.
The singer said she doesn’t intend to change the way she acts to please her critics. “Whatever I think, whether I should say it on the show or not, I will say it, because I got here by being authentic,” she said. She also explained the context of the presentation in which she was criticized:
“On Simone’s day I felt really at home, I was happy and I threw myself, but I think I threw myself too much. All my life I drank, all my life people said I wouldn’t be successful because I drank, or because I was plump… Everyone will find fault with everything,” he argued.
“Stand and Shoot with Leonardo”
The singer continues: “Farmers drink too. At every show, everyone drinks. Why can’t I drink too, as a woman?”, she replied. At another point she joked about the situation, referring to two singers also known for not hiding their appreciation for the aperitif. “My goal is to at least be neck and neck with the Leonardo. I think the Zeca Pagodinho He’s already immortalized, so there’s no way.”

Maiara and Maraisa are prominent singers “feminejo”, a style that gives voice to the female experience within the college country scene, whose lyrics work on themes such as partying, flirting and, consequently, alcohol consumption, which is part of the cliché of the compositions The singer’s speech concludes by reflecting the themes of the musical genre in which she is inserted, as a woman who produces – and sings – also within this environment.
