Taking to social media, the artist shared his outrage with the establishment and warned that he would take legal action to correct the use of his inappropriate image.
“And a gay sauna in Curitiba that used photos of me in their posts and ads on Instagram and sent them to me? Good my friend [Heron Leal] is a lawyer,” he began in an outburst.
“Look at that! ‘Safofo’, pqp. Everyone in my life has seen it”
