During a livestream on August 4 with internet personality Rangesh Mutama, better known as N3on, the “Fancy” rapper shared her longtime dream of celebrating New Year’s in Brazil.
“You know what I’ve always wanted to do and I’ve never did it?”
She asked.
“I want to go to Brazil on New Year’s Eve because they have this crazy tradition where everybody wears white and like they have colours and you wear like underwear or whatever underneath your white clothes of like they represent the thing you want for the next year and then you go in and you have to jump the waves a certain amount of time at midnight.”
The exchange quickly turned playful as both Azalea and N3on joked about revealing the colors of their undergarments and the intentions behind them, much to the amusement of their audience.
Azalea, 35, referred to Réveillon, Brazil’s iconic New Year’s Eve celebration that mixes vibrant party energy with deep cultural and spiritual roots. It’s one of the world’s most visually striking traditions — millions gather on Rio’s Copacabana Beach, dressed in white, to participate in symbolic rituals welcoming the new year.
The custom includes wearing colored underwear under white clothing — with each color symbolizing a different wish for the year ahead. Yellow is for wealth, red for passion, green for health, and pink for romance. As the clock strikes midnight, celebrants head into the ocean to jump over seven waves, making a wish with each one — a tribute to Iemanjá, the Afro-Brazilian goddess of the sea.
One of the most cherished customs is the “seven waves” ritual, where celebrants wade into the ocean at midnight to jump over seven waves, making a wish with each. The ritual honors Iemanjá, the goddess of the sea in Afro-Brazilian belief systems.
N3on, a 21-year-old livestreamer known for his IRL (In Real Life) content, seemed intrigued by Azalea’s enthusiasm. The Chicago-born creator, whose parents are of Indian and Pakistani descent, has built a significant following online with nearly 900,000 YouTube subscribers and over 400,000 Kick followers. He’s known for his spontaneous style and frequent collaborations with celebrities, often mixing humor and controversy equally.
Their joint stream quickly grabbed fans’ attention, not just because of the flirty travel talk. A swatting incident interrupted the broadcast, with law enforcement arriving after a false report, but the conversation quickly returned to Azalea’s fascination with Brazil’s traditions. Clips of the moment went viral across TikTok and Instagram, sparking fan excitement over the possibility of the two teaming up for a tropical New Year’s getaway.
No word yet on whether Azalea and N3on will officially make the trip. But fans are already imagining the scene: the white rapper leaping waves in Rio, with one of Twitch’s biggest rising stars by her side.
