Four-time world boxing champion, boxer Popó was caught enjoying the Bahia carnival in an irreverent atmosphere. Happy, the athlete was dancing alongside another man, who goes by the name Sebastian, when he realized he was being filmed by passers-by. The video immediately began circulating in WhatsAPp groups and on social media. Through a video posted on social media, Popó spoke about the matter. For him, there are many “envious” and “disgusted” people in Bahia. People who, as he stated, “never arrived, nor will they reach”, where he arrived. Popó ends the video by telling people to “take charge” of their lives and “go fuck themselves”. GAY SON In 2017, Popó became a popular name on LGBT websites after declaring support for his youngest son who came out as homosexual. In an interview with TV stations, the octagon world champion spoke about accepting the sexuality of his son and the teenager's boyfriend. “Honestly, as a father I have that frustration of the son who we raised as a man, then comes as half man and half woman”, said Popó about his first reaction after making the discovery. Despite the blow, Popó accepted his son and said he loves him even more. “We learn every day. I started to love and care for him even more because society out there only discriminates”, he declared.
