Biography

Pimentel began his career at the age of 12 and participated in rap battles as a teenager with the group Rimologia.^[1][2]

In 2016, he formed the duo Rap Plus Size with Sara Donato,^[3][4] releasing the album Corpo e Alma.^[5][6] The duo participated in protests and performed in shows that criticized the administration of Brazilian president Michel Temer.^[7][8] Together, they already presented at Encontro com Fátima Bernardes.^[9][10] The duo fight for fat acceptance.^[11][12]

Pimentel shared his journey of self-discovery and gender transition on social media, inspiring many people who followed him.^[13][14] His identity generated a variety of public reactions^[15][16] after he was mentioned in the videocast Entre Amigues, fragments of which were shared on social media.^[1][17] Brazilian politician and deputy Nikolas Ferreira recorded a reaction video with Pimentel discussing his gender identity, which became nationally popular.^[18][19]

In 2022, he released the album Transcendência, which addresses issues such as gender identity, resistance movements, and prejudices such as transphobia and fat phobia,^[13] while also advocating the use of gender-neutral language to combat sexism.^[14][15][20] He has also written a course on language and non-binarity.^[17][21]

Following a suggestion by Pabllo Vittar, he participated in the campaign "Mais uma Voz" during the LGBT pride parade of São Paulo in 2022.^[22]

Personal life

Pimentel identifies as non-binary and transmasculine,^[23] describing his gender identity as genderfluid^[1] and more specifically as boyceta.^[24][25] According to his statements, these more inclusive labels accommodate the nuances of gender and gender expression. The Brazilian slang word boyceta is a portmanteau of "boy" and "buceta" ('pussy'),^[26][27] and according to Pimentel, identifying as a boyceta gives transmasculine people more freedom to embrace their femininity, while also generating one more debate about the multitude of possibilities of gender expression within the LGBTQ community.^{[28][clarification needed]}
