“If your engagement has tripled by showing people there, then your contract (to promote the game) has also tripled. And people call you a saint… And the best part: the majority of your audience is young people and teenagers who are inspired by you,” he said.
The post divided opinions and drew criticism and praise for Danielle. The influencer said she was the victim of threats after the video was broadcast and explained that she had a clear conscience.

“My point is not to record voluntary action. It changes people’s perception of the world. My only argument: if they were, lived and saw what poverty is, why do they continue to spread poverty in our country by promoting gambling?”, he asked.
The project is suspended
The Zuzu for Africa project, which took Nathalia and Mari to Angola last week, has had its activities suspended. According to the project, the “suspension occurred due to the lack of regularization of the necessary documentation”. The authorization protocol is in progress, as indicated in the note.
“It is important to remember that Zuzu For Africa has been present in the community for 8 years, always seeking to promote development and inclusion. During this time, we have received visits from authorities, praise for our work and even specific contributions that have strengthened our mission,” the statement said.
Last week, the project came to light after influencers posted controversial content involving children and teenagers in Angola.
Opinion from ex-BBB
The situation was further reinforced when ex-BBB João Luiz Pedrosa said: “I’m sorry, but these Africa mission videos with excessive exposure to children never happen to me. »
The position divides the opinions of Internet users. Nathalia, however, became the target of criticism after revealing that she would sell a product from her brand designed for the mission in Africa.
