Ludmilla Refuses SBT Interview on Camera Over Host Who Used Racist Slur

She cited SBT’s retention of Marcão do Povo following his 2017 on‑air slur against her.

Overview

  • The singer declined an approach from an SBT reporter backstage at Raphaela Santos’ DVD recording in João Pessoa on Thursday.
  • A video posted by the Brasil Brega Funk page shows Ludmilla telling the reporter she will not speak to an outlet that she says defends racists.
  • Her stance traces to 2017, when presenter Marcão do Povo called her a racial slur on live TV; he was removed from Record at the time and now works at SBT.
  • The dispute has resurfaced as Marcão claims a 2024 Superior Court ruling cleared him and he filed a complaint against Ludmilla, which she contests as a procedural move while vowing further appeals.
  • The footage drew broad support on social media, with users praising Ludmilla’s explanation and her respectful tone toward the reporter.
