J Rey Soul, from Black Eyed Peas, Rock in Rio performer, speaks Portuguese and complains about touring with the men

J Rey Soul, who replaced Fergie in the vocals of Black Eyed Peas since 2018, is in Brazil to perform at Rock in Rio and shared moments on social media speaking Portuguese. The singer humorously complained about touring with the 20 men in the group, saying they only talk about basketball while she would like to discuss other topics. She showed the rainy landscape of Rio, took photos with fans, and posted a selfie with the caption "Everything's fine" to the sound of "Mas que nada." Black Eyed Peas is the second-to-last act of the festival.

On the street, in the rain, in the City of Rock: relive editions of Rock in Rio marked by shows under storms

Rock in Rio has since its first edition in 1985 the mystique of being held under rain, with iconic images of the mud that remained in the collective memory, as well as the chorus of "Love of My Life" with Queen and the bloodied face of Bruce Dickinson after hitting his guitar on his forehead. In the 2026 edition, after a first day of sun, the rain returned to the City of Rock on Saturday (5), with forecasts of continuation on Monday (7) and probably next weekend. Fans of Sepultura, Black Pantera, Machine Gun Kelly, Bad Omens and Bring Me the Horizon have already gotten into the more "roots" vibe of the festival, with pogo circles under rain ponchos.
