Leigh-Anne from Little Mix savagely calls out record label after major album drama
She’s now gone solo
Leigh-Anne Pinnock has savagely called out her record label and accused them of refusing to release her debut solo album, months after revealing she was leaving Warner Records and going independent earlier in 2025.
In an Instagram video shared on Tuesday (30th December), which reflected on her year, the former Little Mix bandmate claimed Warner Records said they “don’t have the budget” to release her album, My Ego Told Me To. So, she chose to do it on her own instead.
“So, long story short, the label have said no, basically. They don’t have the budget to put my album out. So I’m ready to just take the reins. It will be a new chapter and I just can’t wait. And I’m leading this sh*t,” she dramatically alleged.
In the caption, she added: “Proof that when you trust and back yourself, doors open. Reflecting back on this year, I learned that if something is holding you back, stand up and leave.
“You are capable. You are powerful. Don’t shrink for anyone. You are enough. You always were. Here’s to 2026, to my debut solo album My Ego Told Me To, headline tour, more love, more life and more success.”
