After viral imitation, Matogrosso jokes and warns Zé Neto: 'You're going to have to pay'
Matogrosso's voice, from the duo with Mathias, is unparalleled, but there was one artist who managed to imitate it well enough to play a trick: Zé Neto.
The video in which the singer recounts the episode, in which he called a radio station in Dourados (MS) pretending to be Matogrosso, went viral on social media and even reached the target of the imitation.
In an interview with g1 before taking the stage at the 38th Festa do Peão de Americana, this Sunday (7), Matogrosso reacted to the case. And the message was direct: he had fun, but gave an affectionate ear tug.
"Hey, Zé, damn it. I liked the imitation and the story. But don't do that anymore, otherwise you'll have to pay later", he said.
The singer also commented that he is a friend of Zé Neto and evaluated the imitation with good humor: it was “more or less”. Afterwards, he took the opportunity to leave a warning to the announcers.
“If someone calls and says it’s me on the radio, they can see that it wasn’t me,” he said, laughing.

"In fact, I was the first manager to introduce them. They also have a great story in our country. We're together", he stated.
Partnership
Speaking of him, Rafael Belchior, aka Mathias, is about to turn 17 alongside Matogrosso, his uncle. The anniversary of the partnership will be celebrated on July 10th.
Being part of a duo that represents a meeting of generations, according to Mathias, is “really good”.
"I have learned a lot from Matogrosso, how to live life and how to sing too. I'm sure I've evolved a lot", he said.
