Anitta is a trilingual vocalist, a fantastic performer, a shrewd entrepreneur, and now an aspiring actress. On Thursday, a joint Instagram post from the Brazilian artist and Élite Netflix confirmed that she will be joining the Élite ensemble in the forthcoming seventh season. ” “A girl from Rio you may already know… is about to make an entrance at Las Encinas. @Anitta is joining the #Élite7 cast,” said the post, alluding to the fictional exclusive high school in the Spanish series.
The caption is accompanied by images of the artist in her new role, in which she wears a cropped grey sweater, a red bra, and braids and has a contemplative yet powerful expression in her eyes.
On October 25, 2022, Netflix confirmed the seventh season renewal of Élite, developed by Carlos Montero and Daro Madrona, with the return of original lead Omar Ayuso. The news comes just days after the pop star, who made a name for herself in 2022 with the success of her trilingual album Versions of Me, a No. 1 track on the Billboard Global Ex. U.S. chart with “Envolver,” and performances at Coachella and the Latin Grammy Awards, lashed out at Warner Music on Twitter, saying she regrets signing with the label and wants to be released from her contract.
When one admirer expressed his desire for her to be released from her contract, she replied: “if there was a fine to pay, I would have already auctioned off my organs, no matter how expensive it was to get out. But unfortunately, there isn’t. When you’re young and still don’t know a lot, you need to pay close attention to the things you sign… if you don’t, you could spend a lifetime paying for the mistake.”
