Influencer under fire for “disrespectful” dance at scene of fatal car crash

As a seasoned observer of the ever-evolving world of social media and its influential figures, I find myself both intrigued and dismayed by the recent incident involving MC Livinho. While his vibrant energy and infectious charm have earned him a massive following, this particular display of insensitivity during a tragic event was deeply regrettable.


During a live stream on social media, an influential figure known for both his social media presence and artistic skills decided to dance amidst the unfortunate event of a fatal car accident. This action sparked criticism from online users who felt it was inappropriate and insensitive, labeling him as “disrespectful.

Last Saturday, the 21st of September, a bus with 43 passengers and two drivers flipped over on a risky stretch of the Via Dutra highway located in the south of Brazil.

The accident, which killed three athletes from the Coritiba Crocodiles, a Brazilian American football team, occurred in Pirai, Rio de Janeiro. 

At the site of the accident, a journalist was broadcasting the news when suddenly MC Livinho, a musician, was spotted dashing across the street, his face bright with a grin. Moments later, he started dancing behind the journalist.

As they were filming, it appeared that some members of the journalist’s team tried to signal him to leave, yet he opted to remain on the spot and perform an impromptu dance number right in the middle of their live broadcast.

As the broadcast went viral, netizens quickly fired off criticism at the influencer.

This person’s behavior is incredibly insensitive,” commented a social media user, wondering how anyone could find it acceptable to act this way during such a sorrowful time.

One person said, “Show some consideration, buddy,” as another chuckled, “The newer crop of influencers really makes us sigh with disapproval.

Having 13 million followers on Instagram and 6 million on TikTok, Livinho recognized the need to rectify things with his audience and those affected by the tragic accident. He extended an apology and hinted at not initially comprehending that the collision resulted in multiple fatalities.

Livinho mentioned, “It seemed everyone was talking about an accident, yet we were unaware of it until we found ourselves caught in a traffic jam.

I wanted to reach out and offer my sympathies for the unfortunate event you’ve experienced, as I’ve learned it was an accident. My heart goes out to everyone affected. For those who knew Livinho, may he continue to bring happiness and boost your spirits. I will always strive to do so.

In September, we’ve seen another instance of a viral incident involving a contentious vehicle event that isn’t the first one this month. Earlier, a driver managed to make off with a tow truck while his own vehicle was hitched to it. This daring escape resulted in numerous collisions, which sparked a wave of criticism on social media, as many users accused him of exhibiting an extraordinary level of aggressive driving behavior, often referred to as road rage.
