Singer Ivete Sangalo had an unexpected moment during the 2024 Multishow Awards when she forgot to mention Ludmilla in her acceptance speech for their joint win in the Axé/Pagodão of the Year category.
The artists won the trophy with the hit “Macetando”, the result of a partnership that thrilled fans of both musical styles. Recognizing the mistake, Ivete acted quickly to correct it, proving that the friendship between the two remains strong.
Shortly after leaving the stage, Ivete took to social media to publicly apologize: “Ludmilla, I love you. My God, I was nervous and didn’t thank Lud. Thank you for this beautiful collaboration. I’m exhausted. I got nervous. I love you, Lud, this prize is ours“he said, holding the trophy in his hand.
The singer from Bahia also commented in front of journalists, leaving the event, how shocked she was when she realized the misstep. “This is driving me crazy. I kept thinking I didn’t say thank you. Lud, you are my love and that’s the most important thing. I also thank your fans who voted. My loved ones.”
To strengthen his apology, Ivete sent flowers and the trophy to Ludmilla, accompanied by a loving message. The funk singer, in turn, responded with gratitude on social media, posting: “You don’t exist! Thank you for your affection, my mother. We are firm on this. I love you.”
Ivete and Ludmilla: year-long partnership
Ivete’s gesture was widely praised by fans, who highlighted the artist’s humility in acknowledging the mistake and strengthening the partnership with Ludmilla.

The interaction between the singers also highlighted the mutual respect and affection they have for each other, with Ivete highlighting the support of Ludmilla’s fans and the strength of the collaboration between the two.
