    His father doesn’t look full black, he must be mixed race

    Her maternal grandparents are from Paraiba : https://www.paraibaradioblog.com/2019/04/03/biografia-avos-maternos-de-anitta-sao-naturais-do-municipio-de-guarabira-no-brejo-paraibano/

    She probably has Indigenous ancestry on her mother’s side.

      Coincidentally, Cesar Cielo’s grandfather is also from this very same town in Paraíba.

        Great that now Brazilians will no longer need to use the Google translator
        Xoxo
        Great search
        I had no idea that it was part of northeastern Brazil, I am also
        The beaches here are very successful, people love it
        xoxo

        Landscape like the northeast always has wonders here
        Proud to be from the Northeast
        Maybe I have afro blood like there in Bahia or I’m totally Brazilian and indigenous, just kidding, but really my hair is straight and not afro
        In Bahia there is a lot of Afro culture there, an African religion with African gods was created here in Brazil and became very famous in two forms, “candomblé” and “umbanda”

    Some people from Brazil
    They accused her of cultural appropriation
    I don’t take it too seriously
    It involves box braids, and yes she is Afro descendant, maybe she is not seen 100 as African or 100 as white, but I thought it was really fun that she can’t wear things like that, I know it’s for black people, but, she can’t also, she was accused of using the image of a black woman from the favela in a sexualized way, this is wrong, but she also cannot consider herself half black
    What happened what I found strange, because my older grandparents would also think
    She tattooed a part of her ass, I just don’t know which one would really be lmao

    She is very controversial especially about the internet attacking her about using LGBT as money, it is wrong and at the same time not, for sure she needs media for her career, and what made her successful, which I don’t agree with so much
    She defines herself as having everything, it may even be true, but LGBT people etc, hate her, especially the conservatives when she shakes her butt in the video, my grandparents think it’s —- and I end up thinking it too, but it was a summary by Anitta , she also did some plastics in the past she was beautiful, and she had a bit of afro hair, not really African hair, I think it’s there in the photo
