“The prince made love to us. I did not differentiate gender, I did not personify and speak of an act of love, what is the problem? The prince made love to us and woke us all up,” he clarified in an interview on Radio Metro this Friday , and added: “If you have a very complicated head and want to talk about an act of rape, that speaks of the way they put us to sleep with the left-right and man-woman differences.“.
