Following the death of the young Jéssica Vitória Canedo at the age of 22, after Choquei published false news about her romance with the digital influencer and comedian Whinderson NunesInformation emerged that Internet personalities from the agency's casting had helped popularize Choquei's profile on the Internet.

However, the agency denied any editorial connection with Choquei.

“The Choquei profile is not part of Mynd’s casting. As an influencer marketing agency, Mynd exclusively takes care of arranging advertising sales on social media profiles. Mynd never participates in the editorial content of a profile. All profiles are completely independent and managed by their owners, who determine all content.
