Anitta revealed that she thought about giving up her music career due to a controversy with her former record company, Warner Music. The singer claims to have felt that her efforts to break into the international market were emasculating her individuality, which made her a huge success.
In an interview with the American magazine variety, released this Wednesday (01), she lamented: “I didn’t feel happy. I didn’t have any more energy. I was looking too much at the sales figures, reading what the internet and critics had to say. And after thinking so much about what life would be like if I gave up or died… my priorities have changed.”

To get rid of this situation, the Rio native had to face an arduous battle with her old team, which led her to break up with her manager. Brandon Silverstein and running a social media campaign against his record label, exposing that the company had not done its job to help promote the global hit “Envolver”.
“If there was a fine to pay, I would have already auctioned off my organs, no matter how expensive it would be to get them. But, unfortunately, there isn’t,” he said at the time, on his X, former Twitter. The case was resolved with a settlement reached between her and Warner, and she later signed with Universal Music’s Republic label and signed Rebecca Leon (known for having worked with names such as Rosalía It is J Balvin) as his new manager.
