The singer faced attacks after showing images at the show with the phrase “Só Jesus expels Tranca Rua from the people”
Ludmilla spoke out this Monday (22/4) after being accused of religious intolerance during her show on Sunday (21/4) at Coachella, in the United States. The singer showed some images during the performance that showed the phrase “Só Jesus expels Tranca Rua from the people”, which generated a strong repercussion among her fans.
On “When I said you guys would go out of your way to talk bad about me, I didn’t think you would go this far,” she wrote.
“Today they decontextualized one of the images of the video on the big screen of the show ‘Rainha da Favela’, which brings different recordings of spaces and realities in which I grew up and lived for many years, wanting to rewrite its meaning, and putting myself in a completely contrary to mine. ‘Queen of the Favela’ presents my favela, a real favela, naked and raw, where I grew up, but unfortunately there are many evils: black genocide, the police, poverty, religious intolerance and many others experiences of people who overcome obstacles, who live in adversity, but who don’t give up.”
The singer also stated that the presentation begins with a “very explicit message, which leaves no doubt” about her intentions. “I then present to you the reality over which this discourse must prevail! Of a favela without filters, without gluttony, without caricatural representations, a denunciation of reality. I am here for what is real, and not for this showcase version imported for foreigners who think that this is a space reduced to funk, ass and beer!”, he continued.
The end of Ludmilla’s show also had another message to convey to her fans. “I end my show with the sky full of golden kites, which represent the hope that I want to plant in the hearts of all those who are faced with this reality! This video It was made by a black, peripheral photographer/videographer, so you can look at it from the inside!,” the artist said.
“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 particularity they have makes them unique,” he concluded Ludmilla, asking for an end to the criticism.
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.
