Controversies edit
In 2017, Sony Music removed from YouTube the video clip of the song "Whisky, Cigarro e Violão". The reason alleged by the record company was the granting of copyright to another singer, Israel Novaes. The composer stated that the song was granted for both, but in different musical genres; Vinny would record it as forró and Novas as sertanejo. Armando Carneiro, Vinny's manager, said that the composer gave "a year of exclusivity under music. In the document itself he says that we can change the rhythm of the phonogram. Nothing prevents us from recording at whatever pace. This gender exclusivity does not exist". The singer Israel Novaes, after being criticized in his social networks, said that "it is very sad to be right, acting right and ill-intentioned and uninformed people criticize".[13]
