Anitta and Warner Music Group announced they were parting ways Tuesday, a month after the Brazilian pop star tweeted about the extreme measures she would take to terminate her record deal.
“After eleven years of successful partnership, we’ve agreed to go our separate ways,” a joint statement posted to Anitta’s social media read. “Anitta would like to thank the Warner Music team for all their support. And the Warner team wishes Anitta all the best in the future.”
The Post has contacted reps for Anitta and Warner Music for comment.
The news comes after the 30-year-old “Ai Papai” vixen slammed Warner and its CEO several times, including a claim the label used her picture and song “Envolver” in an International Women’s Day social media post even though execs allegedly told her the track wouldn’t be successful without a featured appearance from a bigger guest artist.
Fans last month argued that Warner Music was holding Anitta back from achieving a “global Top 10” hit.
“My dream is for Anitta to leave Warner, go to a label that values her and, of course, the first song she releases to be in the global top 10,” one supporter wrote in Portuguese.
“That makes two of us,” the singer replied in Spanish.
While Anitta found success several years ago in the Portuguese- and Spanish-language markets, she struggled to make it big in America.
The two-time Guinness World Record-breaking “Envolver” was a prime example of that, as it garnered over 500 million streams on Spotify, but didn’t attain mainstream popularity in the US.
Another tweeter recently encouraged Anitta to break up with Warner once and for all, but she claimed it wasn’t that easy.
“My love, if I had a fine to pay, I would have already auctioned off my organs, no matter how expensive it was to get out. But unfortunately, it doesn’t [work that way],” she wrote in Portuguese.
“When you’re young and still don’t know much, you have to pay close attention to the things you sign … If not you can spend a lifetime paying for the mistake,” she added.
Anitta released six albums through Warner. Her 2022 album, “Versions of Me,” earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist this year. The award ultimately went to Samara Joy, 23.
