For Rebecca, it is not uncommon for the contractors to “block” the value of the cache in funk shows. According to her, the incidence is even greater is a woman artist. “They have already tried, yes [pechinchar meu show]several times. They think they can devalue my work, as if it were “only funk” or “just a woman on stage”. Nobody should contract; It’s a job and nobody can give the price. This is a recognition. “
The singer includes the attempts to “deal” as a prejudice by the contractors and not to accept the reduction of the cache is a way that it has found to protest against it.
“Unfortunately, there is a lot of prejudice with the funk, but the difference is that today we are occupying all the spaces and breaking more and more doors, showing that, yes, funk is power […] But this has been and is always a daily battle, because in addition to the prejudice [musical] We hit the machismo and makes me stronger for me to take the reins of my life and position myself before my career. “

“Funk changed everything! Funk gave me a voice, gave me opportunities, gave me and showed me that I could have conquered the world […]. And before criticizing, listen. Study the root, includes the favela. Funk is a portrait of a reality that many ignore, but today occupies unimaginable spaces. “
