Anitta’s Easter TV Performance With Candomblé Imagery Draws Online Attacks and Support

Overview

• Anitta, who performed “Pinterest” and “Meia‑Noite” on TV Globo’s Domingão com Huck on Sunday, delivered the songs’ first TV renditions as a preview of her album EQUILIBRIVM due April 16.
• The “Meia‑Noite” staging referenced Candomblé, an Afro‑Brazilian faith Anitta practices, aligning with her on‑air description of the album as a study of spirituality in many forms.
• Online reaction divided quickly, with critics on Instagram and X calling the Easter broadcast an affront to Christians while fans praised the performance and cultural expression.
• Hours after the broadcast, Anitta reposted a message that condemned violent and intolerant speech without addressing individual attacks.
• No formal response from the broadcaster was reported, and the outcry highlights how Afro‑Brazilian religions like Candomblé often face prejudice when shown on national TV.
