Overview
- Sonza wrote on social media that the rivalry narrative is a “ridiculous forcing” and “disgusting and depressing,” denying any dispute with Anitta.
- The flap began after an Anitta fan reposted a short excerpt from Sonza’s interview with Paraguay’s Estacion 40 about the international spread of Brazilian funk.
- In her rebuttal, Sonza said she has mentioned Anitta throughout this round of interviews and criticized efforts to pit female artists against each other.
- During the interview, she attributed funk’s global traction to globalization and the internet and praised the breadth of Brazilian music and artists.
- Coverage notes the exchange remains confined to social media and reporting, with prior public criticism of Sonza cited only as background.
