A speech by singer Igor Guilherme, known as MC Ig, on Cidade Tiradentes, a neighborhood on the outskirts of São Paulo’s east side, caused discomfort among other artists of the genre this Thursday (29).
In a leaked video with MC Ig’s voice speaking on the phone, the artist claims that the “[Cidade] Tiradentes died in funk. ” The neighborhood is considered by São Paulo funkers to be the cradle of the genre in the city of São Paulo and where several artists reside. See, below, the video with the intervention of Ig.
After the repercussion, singer MC Amaral, who is one of the artists who gained prominence in funk thanks to performances in the neighborhood, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, said he had talked to Ig and that the recording was of a “zoeira” moment between the artist and a friend.
Created by Cidade Tiradentes and one of São Paulo’s exponents of funk, MC Dede also used social media to express himself on MC Ig’s speech, saying he was “shocked by words that debase the broken”.
“Cidade Tiradentes, if you don’t know, is one of the largest complexes in Latin America, one of the largest cohabs (housing complexes), where there are so many dreams and so many good guys, so more respect for my village. Won the world, “said Dede.
Another artist who used social media to show Ig displeasure was MC Keké. On Twitter, the singer said that he usually doesn’t give an opinion on quarrels on the Internet, “but talking about Tiradentes or Mooca will come back in reverse.” He also posted a video of the MC Kauan (arrested in August for alleged drug trafficking) saying that “the guys from Mooca and Tiradentes brought funk to Sao Paulo”.
Then, on Thursday afternoon, Keké posted a message in an Instagram story saying that MC Ig retracted the speech. “The brother apologized to me and this is the end of the conversation. It is not possible to talk about these things about the history of funk, not even joking,” he wrote. MC Dede did the same and said that Ig also played with him and “with all the guys”.
Cidade Tiradentes is considered an important part of the history of Paulista funk because it is there that the MCs of Baixada Santista, where the greatest singers of the genre in the state were concentrated, began to perform and build the so-called ‘ostentação funk’, about a decade ago. . The neighborhood, therefore, began to project names of the genre that lived in the region and was part of the rise of the style in the city of São Paulo.
MC Ig recognizes the neighborhood’s importance to the funk it is a part of and turned to Instagram to apologize. “I am redeeming myself for my humility, but I never talked about funk or the bad of the neighborhood, because I have been playing in the neighborhood since 2014, I sing there and I don’t charge anything,” said Ig.
“I’m redeeming myself for the people of the neighborhood and for all the respect I have for the neighborhood, but there are some opportunistic brothers who are trying to show themselves,” said Ig. The artist further stated that no conclusions can be drawn from the leaked video excerpt with her voice. “Cidade Tiradentes, for the uninitiated, is also my hamlet, I have always approached, even if I am from [zona] north “, published the MC.
