Australian TikTok star Keenan Chapman goes viral in Brazil for surprising reason

An Australian TikTok model has gone viral in Brazil for a reason that has nothing to do with his usual content on lifestyle and fashion.

Keenan Chapman, who boasts an impressive following of over 550,000 on TikTok, has been mistaken for one of Brazil’s hottest musical talents, Matuê.

The sudden surge of attention came after Chapman’s followers pointed out that he bears a striking resemblance to the Brazilian rapper, whose real name is Matheus Brasileiro Aguiar.

The rapper, at the young age of 30, is already one of Brazil’s highest-earning hip-hop artists.

He is considered one of the biggest names in the Brazilian trap scene.
