“Not Even the Dogs Go Hunting for Free” – Cristiano Ronaldo Forces Millionaire Singer to Perform for Free, Faces Backlash on Portuguese TV Show

In the world of entertainment, collaborations between two big entities are common. There are instances when the entertainment world collides with the sporting world. We see many celebs attending events organized by sports icons. Cristiano Ronaldo often does this. 

He once called a famous Portuguese singer to perform at his private party in 2020. Fernando Daniel attended it then without charging anything. However, Ronaldo’s entourage again approached the singer with an invitation to perform at a private party. But the singer declined it. But why did he do that?

The entourage of Cristiano Ronaldo disappoints Portuguese singer

Daniel is a massive name in Portugal. The singer featured in the national TV program Factor X and the fourth season of Voice of Portugal. He won the Voice of Portugal’s fourth season in 2017. Daniel also won the Best Portuguese Act at the 2019 MTV Europe Music Awards. It was sufficient for the Portuguese songwriter to come into the limelight.

In 2020, he got an invitation to perform at Ronaldo’s private party. He didn’t charge anything during the 2020 performance. And why would he? It was a significant opportunity for him to showcase his talent in front of some massive names. He recently revealed another instance where Al Nassr forward’s team again contacted him for the performance at a party. But this time, Daniel asked for compensation.

However, Ronaldo’s team rejected it and hired someone else. Daniel recently spoke about it to Blitz’s Ponto Emissor. He said, “They ended up saying that it wasn’t worth paying the amount because it was an event for a few people.” Meanwhile, despite this, he wasn’t disappointed with Ronaldo and feels the five-time Ballon d’Or winner might not even know what has happened.

Reaction to Daniel’s revelation

The TVI Extra panelists took up the issue on Wednesday. However, they disagree with Daniel’s comment that Ronaldo might not know the situation. One of the panelists, Helena Elizabeth, said, “If there’s anyone who can afford it, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo. For free, even the dogs don’t go hunting. I also don’t work with tassel. I don’t believe Cristiano is aware of it.”
