Singer Nattan humorously responded to a controversy over a photo posted with soccer player Vini Jr., set to a song featuring Zé Felipe. The backlash stemmed from Zé Felipe's past with Virginia Fonseca, now Vini Jr.'s partner. Nattan shared a montage embracing both, captioned 'Paz'.
The controversy began on Friday night, December 26, at an event hosted by Vini Jr. and Virginia Fonseca in Trancoso, Bahia. Nattan performed there and later shared a photo with the player, presenter Luciano Huck, and other guests, using the song 'Homem é Homem, Moleque é Moleque'—a collaboration with Zé Felipe—as the soundtrack.
The song choice sparked perceptions of provocation among internet users, given Zé Felipe's past relationship with Virginia, now Vini Jr.'s partner. One user joked: “Colocou Zé Felipe para o Vini Jr. escutar, homem? Ousadíssimo”. Nattan responded, stating he hadn't noticed the issue: “Nem me toquei”.
On Saturday night, December 27, the singer posted an ironic montage showing him embracing Vini Jr. and Zé Felipe, captioned 'Paz'. The post followed the social media backlash. Additionally, João Victor, Zé Felipe's friend, shared a video of the singer performing a solo version of the track, writing: “Zé lança igual nessa guia aqui também, eu gosto dessa guia demais”. Some users interpreted this as a subtle jab at the incident.
The event gathered celebrities in Trancoso for the year-end celebrations, featuring figures like Eder Militão and Benício Huck. Nattan, known for his humorous social media presence, used the situation to poke fun without escalating the conflict.
