These screenshots from a leaked OnlyFans video show popular Brazilian singer Anitta apparently getting her anus tattooed.

Netizens were amused and gobsmacked in equal measure by the recent leak, which, according to the 27-year-old star, is actually an old video.

The singer, whose real name is Larissa de Macedo Machado, joked: “Actually, the video is so old that I’ve since had to touch it up. So, for those of you planning to get tattooed in these places, know that it fades. You have to keep touching it up.”

The Rio de Janeiro native added: “But if you want to know the whole story, you have to pay.”

Anitta, who has over 51 million followers on Instagram, opened her OnlyFans account just a fortnight ago. However, she has already posted 55 times and garnered over 16,000 likes for her adult content, which costs USD 4.99 (GBP 3.54) to access per month.

Fellow celeb and influencer ‘Gkay’, real name Gessica Kayane, commented on Twitter: “People, @anitta tattooing her arse on OnlyFans…and now she’s got us worried if she’s all right in the head.”

The singer replied with a photo of herself covered in tattoos, which appear to be temporary, beneath the reply: “It’s because I didn’t have any space left, my friend.”

Anitta did not reply to politician and pastor Otoni de Paula who took to Twitter to write: “What to say about this woman. Elected one of the ‘100 future leaders’ by Time magazine (leftist journalism).

“What future is there for a generation (of children and adolescents) whose leader or role model is a woman who tattoos her anus, films it, and publishes it on the internet?”

It is possible that Anitta posted the footage herself with the express intention of marketing her new OnlyFans account to a wider audience.

Her 2018 duet ‘Downtown’ with Colombian singer J Balvin has 545 million views on YouTube. She frequently sings in Spanish and English in addition to her native Portuguese.
