Vitor Hugo, producer director of Veagá Filmes, producer of funker by Baixada Santista, defends MC Kauan from the accusations and believes in his innocence. He agrees with the artist, who during an interview with TV Tribuna, a subsidiary of TV Globo in the region, said he was “another Brazilian” in an “unfair situation”.
“Unbelievable. A good boy, without malice, of the family. Sad to see such a stop. In all our time together, I’ve never seen him do this kind of thing.” [traficando drogas]”Said the producer, who also questions the arrest and argues that the MC did not need to commit such a crime.
“Contradictory. How can an MC, stunned, full of pocket money, full of commitments, work honestly, go and sell drugs on the beach? He didn’t need to. Someone did this to him and he has to pay,” added Vitor Hugo , in an interview with Run view.
Also on Tuesday evening, the artist’s Instagram published a statement, signed by the singer’s mother and manager, Nalva Mariz, in which he states that the arrest “is an injustice, because, as everyone knows, MC Kauan has always worked. , he has always devoted himself to music, and never engaged in any criminal activity ”.

Before singing funk, Kauan Mariz was a rocker and had long hair. The musical change took place in the community where he lived, in Baixada Santista. The funk singer then began attending funk dances hidden by his mother, who is now the artist’s manager.
