Ludmilla began her career in Rio de Janeiro as MC Beyonce, taking the name as a tribute to Beyonce, and Fala Mal de Mim was the funk track that first brought her wide attention in Brazil in 2012 after spreading online. The song's direct lyric about people speaking badly in a circle of friends helped it travel as a shareable audio beyond the original performance. She later performed simply as Ludmilla, but this early recording remains linked to her MC Beyonce phase and to Brazilian funk's strong presence in memes and message audios.
