Biography

Vinicius Ricardo de Santos Moura, professionally known as MC Brinquedo, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter born in São Paulo. He emerged in the funk scene in 2014 at the age of thirteen, gaining early recognition through his participation in MC Bin Laden's music video 'Passinho do Faraó'. Shortly after, he released his breakthrough hit 'Boquinha de Aparelho', which propelled him into national prominence alongside other youthful funk artists like MC Pikachu.

Throughout his career within the funk ousadia subgenre, MC Brinquedo became a cultural figure known for his charismatic persona, distinctive dyed hair, and viral internet moments, including the famous catchphrase 'Meça suas palavras parça'. His music, while popular among youth audiences, frequently attracted media scrutiny and controversy due to its sexually explicit lyrical content. Despite facing various challenges, including a well-publicized police incident in late 2025, he maintained an active recording career with albums such as 'Único', 'Nasceu na Sul', and 'Muito Real', before eventually announcing his retirement from funk and conversion to the gospel in 2026.

MC Brinquedo shares strong musical and generational ties with fellow São Paulo funk artists like MC Bin Laden and MC Pikachu, who helped define the wave of juvenile funk ousadia during the mid-2010s. His trajectory reflects the broader cultural impact and social controversies surrounding the rapid rise of internet-era funk paulista in Brazil.
