Britney Spears reaffirms retirement from the music industry
Britney Spears has reaffirmed her decision to retire from the music industry, stating, “Ya no quiero estar en el negocio” (I no longer want to be in the business). The singer expressed a desire to prioritize her personal and spiritual life over a professional career.
Spears reflected on her past experiences, particularly the 15-year period under legal conservatorship, noting that during that time she often felt forced or embarrassed by her professional obligations. She indicated that the current state of the music industry feels alien to her and no longer represents what she experienced when her career began.
This stance follows the recent sale of her music catalog rights to Primary Wave, a deal reportedly valued between $150 million and $200 million. The singer has previously signaled similar intentions to distance herself from the spotlight and the demands of the entertainment industry.
