Controversy

MC Pipokinha has been central to numerous controversies. In one of her shows in 2023, a fan appeared to perform oral sex on her onstage, which went viral and provoked intense public reaction. Her performances are known for mixing sensuality, aggressive choreography, and explicit sexual expression, which have drawn criticism from conservative sectors.

In 2021 she released the song “Índio” (with MC Nerak), which was later removed following accusations of racist stereotyping toward Indigenous peoples; critics pointed out problematic lyrics and the use of indigenous imagery in the video. Her Instagram profile was temporarily suspended in 2022 for alleged policy violations relating to explicit content.

She has also made statements mocking public school teachers’ wages, triggering cancellations of shows and backlash in Brazilian media. Additionally, she faced accusations of normalizing sexualization of minors by using baby voice or objects (e.g. pacifier) in erotic contexts, which sparked condemnation. In another controversy, a video in which an animal licks her breast drew accusations of zoophilia; authorities opened investigations, which her team denied.

In 2024, her planned show in Portugal was cancelled after opposition from far-right groups, including the Portuguese party Chega.
