MC Daniel says he almost went bankrupt while dating Mel Maia; see reason
Singer MC Daniel revealed that he almost lost his entire fortune in 2023, the year in which he had a relationship with actress Mel Maia. In a recent interview, the funk singer explained that he had a habit of spending thousands of reais a week and highlights that he was “dazzled” by the famous life.
“I went overboard. I spent more than I should have. But my managers didn’t let me hang myself. I was dazzled and I lost it”, he detailed in an interview with the BrunetCast podcast.
According to the funk singer, his relationship with actress Mel Maia meant that he allocated part of his fortune to move between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
“I spent R$300,000 on air tickets in my old relationship. It’s a lot and I could go by car, by van. I could leave it for the next day to be with my family. I was amazed, idiot”, he confessed.
The New Year’s Eve ostentation also drained the funk player’s savings. MC Daniel says he spent R$300,000 to cover rent for the house, drinks, transport and helicopter rides to enjoy the season alongside Mel Maia and friends.
The reality check came through the singer’s manager, who warned him about the possibility of him becoming poor again. “He said: ‘You, in about three, six months, are going to have to sell your house and your cars. You’re going to be poor again. I said: ‘No, for God’s sake, what do I do?’ And he said: ‘You have to stop spending. You ask for R$10,000 every Friday and give R$40,000 a month to people on the streets. You have to stop spending. world. You have to get up, earn your nest egg and then help others on the street'”, would have been the professional’s advice.
After the financial drama, MC Daniel had to change his habits to balance the accounts. “I stopped spending, I went back to eating PF (prepared dish). Thank God, I managed to get back on my feet. I went back to the mentality I had before. Before, I survived on R$50 a month”, he recalled.
Entrepreneurs’ strategy
MC Daniel says he followed the advice of businesspeople and now invests in real estate to increase his fixed income. According to him, the new investments guarantee him R$100,000 per month, an amount capable of sustaining the funk player’s luxuries.
“They had this idea and it was great. The person who takes care of my money today is my mother. I want to accumulate a lot of money to help many people and have an NGO. I want to give a car and a house to each person who works with me and help people with disability, autism, depression and Down syndrome. I see myself like this in ten years”, he wished.
