Ed Motta says that “anyone who listens to hip hop is stupid” and takes advantage of the engagement

The statement went viral and led to a live audience, where the singer “answered” the criticism with piano music

The singer and musician Ed Motta created a controversy on social media when he called those who listen to hip hop stupid and conducted a live broadcast on Instagram, where he took advantage of the biggest engagement he has had in recent times. He cast the bait and hooked the audience, who went to complain and after hearing many “he’s not there” and “my opinion”, ended up listening to the artist’s music on the piano too.

The hip hop controversy

It all started when the singer said that “smart people” listen to “jazz” and was accused of bias and hypocrisy on social media. In the excerpt that went viral on X (formerly Twitter), Motta begins to talk about his racial identity. “I’m not white, I’m black, but I represent the most sophisticated aspects of the race,” he began, before expressing his position on hip hop.

“Anyone who listens to hip hop is stupid. Without exception. The other day I saw an excerpt from an interview with this idiot Rafinha Bastos: ‘Ah, because hip hop is the kind of music I like to listen to the most.’ . And man, he’s an idiot,” he added.

According to Ed, classical music and jazz would be the “natural” choices of “intelligent people” like him.

The statements attracted several comments. While some wanted to argue, there were those who saw the engagement request. “The boy is missing, so he wants attention,” said one Internet user.
