‘Ram Tchum’, the singer’s partnership with Dennis DJ and MC GW, has a name very similar to a song from Paraná; Boiadeira fans accused the two of plagiarism
The singer Ana Castela was involved in a controversy with the country duo Antony and Gabriel due to the release of the song “Ram Tchum”, a partnership between Boiadeira and Dennis DJ and MC GW. The coincidence of names generated accusations of plagiarism from the singer’s fans, who stated that the duo would not have the strength to compete with Ana. Despite mixing funk with countryside, the tracks are quite different. Antony spoke out through a video, revealing that he had known for 25 days that Ana would record the song and that this bothered him deeply. He highlighted that he received several songs with the term “boiadeira”, the singer’s nickname, but chose not to record them to avoid confusion. The singer stated that the situation affected all the work and planning, in addition to generating a large financial investment.
The term “Ram Tchum” refers to the noise of a pickup truck, an element present in country pop lyrics. Antony highlighted that he does not own the term, just as Ana does not own the word “boiadeira”. The singer, in turn, spoke out on social media, showing her love for the duo and highlighting that she did not want the situation to harm the country scene. “I love Antony and Gabriel. I never want these silly little things to end the music family. I sent a private message to the couple and did not receive any response. So I came to tell you that I love you! Don’t listen to these annoying people. Do not stop, in any way, with the dissemination. You deserve all the best. I love it, I’m a fan”, said Boiadeira.
