Influences

Cabelinho's main artistic inspiration is the English singer Amy Winehouse, who passed away in 2011. To whom he dedicated three tattoos. No antebraço esquerdo, há o rosto de uma Amy adulta e um outro da artista aos cinco anos de idade. Pouco abaixo da orelha esquerda, está escrito “Amy”. On his left forearm, there is a portrait of an adult Amy and another of the artist at the age of five. Just below his left ear, the word 'Amy' is tattooed.

Besides Amy Winehouse, the rapper admires major trap stars like Travis Scott, Quavo, and Post Malone. He also admires the funk artist MC Orelha, who he always listened to on his way to school. He started rapping because he really wanted to be like the old MCs, such as Orelha, Tikão, Frank, and Smith.

So here we go: since we didn't have a message from him about what happened, I'm confirming here that we are no longer together because of the obvious reasons,' she wrote.
