Anitta stated this Friday, in a conversation with the press, that she intends to include more details of Rio culture in the clips for “Aceita”, which will feature many references to Candomblé (her religion), and “Ahi”, which was recorded during the Beija-Flor de Nilópolis procession in the 2023 Carnival Champions Parade.

“The video for 'Aceita' will have a lot to do with the Candomblé thing, there are also samba schools in the video for 'Ahi', if I manage to release it”, stated the singer, indicating that the clip could be released soon.

She explained that she was concerned about exposing in the clip, not only the dancers, but also presenting other traditional elements, such as the old guard.

“I always try to put a style of culture that is deeper, that, if the person wants and is interested, they will be able to delve into much deeper layers. I use visuals a lot to do this,” she said.

Anitta says she prefers sleeping to having sex: “It brings joy”
