Anitta is on the cover of Ocean Drive‘s October 2019 issue, out now.
Here’s what the 26-year-old “Vai Malandra” star had to say…
On getting plastic surgery: “Everyone likes to say ‘accept yourself.’ Yes, I accept myself. Yes, I love myself. But I also love changing. Why would I hide these kind of things? Life is about choices—what you do, how you run your life. I like to be honest. It’s important to be honest because people understand that I am a regular person like them. And then what I cannot get done, for example, my cellulite, I just accept. Because there is no surgery for that. I don’t like working out and I accept that. But if they create a surgery for cellulite, I am going to be the first one to do the test, trust me.”
On working with Madonna on her album Madame X: “To me Madonna represents liberty. She has this message of being whoever you want to be, of being free. This is a very important thing about her. And I think that if nowadays I am free to work my sexual side, to be sensual and to express myself sexually the way I want, it’s because Madonna did. She had a lot of rocks on her face because she did it at a time when everyone was criticizing this kind of behavior. I admire what she did a lot.”
On going into the studio with Cardi B, and what’s next: “I love Cardi B. She is really into Brazilian music, so definitely there is something coming. And I’ve been working on the second season of my Netflix show because the first one is such a success. And new tracks in Spanish, English and Portuguese. I am really excited about what’s next. But I also want to chill out and rest a little bit because that is as important as any work.”
