Singer Gusttavo Lima canceled his performance at São João de Surubim on Saturday due to health issues and faced criticism from the local mayor and another artist.
Gusttavo Lima canceled the show scheduled for Saturday (27/6) in Surubim (PE) after contracting a virus. He explained that symptoms started on Wednesday during a series of performances.
Mayor Cleber Chaparral (União-PE) called him a “thief” on social media and demanded the return of the R$ 1.3 million fee. Singer Rafa Alyce BB, who took the stage in his place, called him a “son of a bitch”.
The sertanejo told Metrópoles that he had already returned the amount and that his team was prevented from leaving the city for nearly 24 hours. He described the statements as “heavy” and “unfair” and announced he would take measures against the mayor.
Gusttavo also became emotional when commenting on insults involving his mother, Dona Sebastiana, who died in 2015. “My mother needs to be respected,” he said.
