The singer’s public conflict with the producer began after Kazanna trolled on January 16 on Instagram the song Jerry Heil, with which she made it to the final of the Ukrainian national selection for Eurovision 2026.
“The joke counts,” they appreciated joke on the Internet.
At the same time, Jerry Heil fans criticized Kazhanna for the comic video.
“When you have at least 10% of Jerry’s level, then you can apply for Eurovision. Incomprehensible “banter” for what? Yana has a wonderful song, vocals, and show,” they wrote in the comments.
On the evening of January 17, Kazhanna announced that she no longer had the desire to engage in public activities and write music.
“The industry is terrible, society is even worse. “Thank you” to the label for all my moral trauma over these two years. You are like that very first ex, after which you need 10 years of therapy. Goodbye,” the artist wrote.
The singer also stated that, against the backdrop of what was happening, she was “wildly hysterical” and in a state of complete powerlessness.
“And a person from the label writes to me that they have ‘reputational risks’. I’m shocked. Just like I was shocked when they gave me some moronic edits for work after hours,” she added.
Kazanna also publicly reached out to the label, asking when they would put people first.
Jerry Heil in her Telegram channel, responding to questions from subscribers, saidthat Kajanna's decision left her under “severe stress.”
“I don’t even see, because the person hides Stories. We’ll figure it out and communicate,” she added.
