Music producer Roberto Ferrante, the mastermind behind Planet Records, has once again stirred up buzz on social media. This time, he shared a message brimming with pride, sarcasm, and what appears to be a pointed retort to recent criticisms—likely linked to his ongoing feud with Dominican influencer Destino Positivo.
In a series of images featuring Ferrante surrounded by models dressed as cowgirls and holding various awards from his label, including a YouTube Diamond Button and gold and platinum records, he celebrated his label’s achievements. His post caught the attention of many.
"5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 41 Platinum Records, 43 Gold Records in the USA and Europe, a YouTube Diamond Button (I’ve lost track of the Gold and Silver ones)... yet there are still 'neighborhood geniuses' (underworld hooligans without a dime) who keep their endless chatter on social media," Ferrante wrote on Instagram.
The message, which blends celebration with sharp criticism, seems aimed at those trying to compete with him, who, according to Ferrante, flaunt wealth without any real backing. "Those millions you brag about aren’t yours; they belong to the 'musical mafia'... and they’re trivial. Meanwhile, my ideas, my music, my intuitions, and my artists generate MUCH MORE, all clean, just with music and proudly paying taxes," he added.
He wrapped up his statement with a veiled warning: "So you better save your 'street threats' and that dubious money for when the storm comes... Because we’re still on top, in TOTAL INDEPENDENCE. After four decades of success, I owe nothing to anyone."
Is this a message to Destino Positivo?
The post emerges amid public tensions with Dominican influencer Destino Positivo, who recently announced a new record label to support Cuban artists—a project that adds to the friction with Ferrante. Although the Planet Records producer doesn’t name names, many in the industry interpret his words as a direct response to Destino Positivo’s recent actions and criticisms against him and his label’s management of artists.
