Diego Villanueva — or Mr. Thug, as he is better known — is a Brazilian singer-songwriter and lead singer of the group Bonde da Stronda who dated Anitta from early 2011 through the end of 2012, starting when she was 18 and he was 21. The two released a very sexy song called "O mundo para" and had planned to create a music video together, but that project was cancelled after they went their separate ways. Though they don't see each other often, Diego says he has nothing but love for Anitta.
