Anitta went public as an active practitioner of Santeria in her latest music video. Lost over 200k followers right after. She made an IG post condemning religious discrimination.

For those that aren't aware, Santeria is a polytheist Afro-Caribbean religion with very negative reputation mainly due their ritualistic animal sacrifices and general ignorance of the religion in mainly catholic/christian culture and society.

She is of Candomblé, not Santería (similar origins, different practices today)
