Controversies
On 23 January 2025, São Paulo city councilwoman Amanda Vettorazzo filed a bill that prohibits the city government from hiring or supporting events that promote crime and gangs. The councilwoman has been receiving threats[6][7][8] from Oruam's audience, which is why she filed a police report.
