During the Festa do Peão de Barretos, influencer Cesar Rincon reported spending over R$ 6 million on an extensive camping infrastructure, which included trailers, motorhomes, a pool, and a customized truck. Rincon shared the camping area with other high-profile figures, including singer Ana Castela and streamer Jon Vlogs.

The situation escalated when Rincon announced his departure from the festival following an altercation in the camping area. Influencers Miguel Mendes and Kelly Fazendeira accused Rincon of aggression. Mendes reported being surrounded and assaulted by individuals linked to Rincon while attempting to leave the site, while Fazendeira shared footage showing significant damage to their trailer, including broken windows and doors.

Rincon issued a public apology, admitting he had “acted foolishly” and expressing regret for the negative publicity. He stated, “I recognized that the conduct of my team was inadequate,” and committed to paying for the damages caused to the trailer. While leaked messages suggested Rincon attempted to resolve the matter personally with Miguel Mendes, Mendes declined further contact. The event's organizing group, Os Independentes, stated they are investigating the episode and emphasized that any conduct violating camping rules or legislation will be held accountable.
