During a carnival performance in Goiana, Pernambuco, brega funk artist Dadá Boladão played to an audience of only ten people, which sparked discussions online. The performance occurred on February 16 at Praça do Carmo, the main venue for the city's carnival festivities. A video capturing the moment was shared by DJ Thyago Passos, highlighting the stark contrast between the artist's popularity and the sparse attendance.

Dadá Boladão is a well-known figure in the Recife brega funk scene, boasting over 1.2 million Instagram followers and nearly 900,000 monthly listeners on a popular music streaming platform. His recent hit, "Com Cabelo Loiro," has amassed more than 20 million streams, making the low turnout at his show particularly surprising. Despite his significant online following, the physical turnout at the event starkly illustrated the unpredictable nature of live performances, especially during large public celebrations like carnival.

The situation has raised questions about the dynamics of audience engagement in today's music industry, where digital fame doesn't always translate to live event attendance. The event organizer noted that the raw video of the performance has gained traction on social media, further documenting the phenomenon of high-profile artists struggling to draw in crowds at specific local events, which could prompt deeper discussions on the importance of targeting the right audience for performances in the future.
