The music producer Roberto Ferrante, founder of the label Planet Records, once again made headlines on social media after sharing a message filled with pride, irony, and an apparent direct response to the criticism he has received in recent weeks, possibly related to his dispute with the Dominican influencer Destino Positivo.
Along with several images surrounded by models dressed as cowgirls and holding awards from his record label, including a diamond button from YouTube, gold and platinum records, Ferrante celebrated the achievements of his label with a post that did not go unnoticed.
5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 41 Platinum Records, 43 Gold Records in the USA and Europe, a Diamond Button from YouTube (and I've lost count of the Gold and Silver ones)… and yet there are 'geniuses from the neighborhood' (delinquents from the underworld without a dime in their pockets) who continue with their blah blah blah on social media, he wrote on Instagram.
The message, which blends celebration with strong criticism, seems to be directed at figures attempting to compete and who, according to Ferrante, flaunt money without real backing.
"Those millions that you flaunt so much are not yours; they belong to the 'musical mafia'... and they are very little. Meanwhile, my ideas, my music, my intuitions, and my artists generate MUCH MORE, all cleanly, just with music and proudly paying taxes," he added.
The comment concluded with a veiled warning: "So it's better to keep your 'street threats' and that questionable money for when the storm comes… Because we are still standing strong, in TOTAL INDEPENDENCE. After 4 decades of successes, I have nothing to thank anyone for."
A message for Destino Positivo?
The publication arises amid the public tension with the Dominican influencer Destino Positivo, who recently announced the creation of a new record label to support Cuban artists, a project that adds to the conflicts he has had with Ferrante.
Although the producer from Planet Records does not mention any names, many in the industry interpret his words as a direct response to the recent actions of Destino Positivo and the criticism it has directed at him and the management of the artists from his label.
