O Poeta

**O Poeta** (real name Wellington Silva) is a Brazilian funk artist and MC hailing from São Paulo, known for his playful lyrics, cheeky humor, and high-energy beats that dominate Brazil’s *funk ostentação* scene. Rising to prominence in the 2010s, he became a staple of the genre with tracks that blend braggadocio, party vibes, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling about nightlife, relationships, and street culture. His recent releases—like the rowdy *"Chacoalhando"* and the irreverent *"Chuva de Bunda"*—showcase his knack for viral hooks and crowd-moving rhythms, often peppered with regional slang and punchlines. A frequent collaborator with fellow funk stars, O Poeta thrives in live settings (as heard on *"Naipe De Vagabundo [Ao Vivo]"*), where his charismatic delivery turns shows into rowdy, sweat-soaked celebrations. Whether he’s dropping throwback jams (*"TBT do Poeta"*) or new bangers, his music stays rooted in São Paulo’s vibrant underground while cracking the mainstream with unapologetic flair.
