After a long public dispute with Belo that lasted more than 20 years, Denílson spoke about the jokes they played for many years related to the disagreement between the two. The band’s contractor stated that the jokes bother him. “It’s not a funny story,” he said.
“It’s not a quick story. But this reached a level that, in my humble opinion, was wrong. Because what is right is right. And what is wrong is wrong. These values must be expressed. If you enter into a contractual commitment, it is difficult. However, if you have a signed paper, document or contract and fail to honor it, you will have to pay a termination penalty. It’s a simple thing. And that didn’t happen. It took 20 years,” said the former player on the Jota Jota podcast.
Renata Fan’s colleague at Jogo Aberto explained that he hates having to explain himself. “And it became a meme, right? It became a joke. On an extremely serious matter. Of course, in all these years, I couldn’t explain it to anyone who said to me, “What about Belo, has he paid you yet?” I was obviously in on the joke. I took it as a joke. But deep down it was a serious matter,” he said.

The fight between Denílson and Belo lasted more than 20 years. The former athlete led the Soweto pagoda band, of which the artist was the leader, but the partnership was broken in 2000 when Belo left the group to pursue a solo career. Belo’s debts to Denílson exceeded R$7 million, according to information published by UOL. “Singer Belo and I spoke and reached an agreement in a friendly manner. “It is extremely important to emphasize to everyone that our differences were never of a personal nature, but on the contrary, they were and therefore no longer are in the legal field,” the former athlete wrote.
