In an interview with IELCAST this Thursday (16), former singer of the groups Forró Real and Garota Safada, Gil Mendes, revealed some awkward situations he went through working with Wesley Safadão some years ago. The singer detonated the singer and spoke about sexist attitudes he lived in the hands of the celebrity and the other men on the team.
During the conversation, Gil Mendes said that none of the girls were allowed to use the toilet on the bus, only Wesley Safadão. “The dancers couldn’t go to the band’s bathroom, they had to ask to stop to pee. And I didn’t believe it,” revealed the singer about Forró Real.
“There are drivers who think the bus is theirs so they don’t want to have a job, there are a lot of girls who are disorganized and leave everything messy… And then it was in that tradition. The girl took to the streets like a cow. I would piss like a cow in the street,” he revealed of what happened on the bus of Wesley Safadão’s band.

The singer commented that when she arrived in the band “Slutty Girl” she decided to negotiate her roles in the musical group, in addition to using the bathroom, the financial value was also agreed between them. “When I went to Girl [Safada] it was the same, only Wesley was using the bathroom,” Gil Mendes said.
Despite this, Gil Mendes explained that she and Wesley Safadão hit it off very well and both shared the stage, with the same spaces and perks. At that time, the number of songs the artist could sing, including solo performances, was also negotiated.
Brazilian electronic forró band from Fortaleza with Gil Mendes and Wesley Safadão released around 8 CDs and 2 DVDs, both national hits.
