Anitta claps back at online trolls who call her a “fake bisexual”
Pop star and LGBTQIA+ icon Anitta has effortlessly shut down the critics questioning her bisexuality. Since bursting onto the scene in 2013, the talented singer-songwriter has captivated music audiences around the world – becoming the first Brazilian and Latin American artist to reach number-one on Spotify’s global chart with a solo song, as well as the first Brazilian to win an MTV VMA and American Music Award.
Alongside her incredible feats, Anitta has been lauded by LGBTQIA+ fans for being an open book about her sexuality since coming out as bisexual in her 2018 Netflix docuseries, Go Anitta.
