It’s been quite a while since Poppy was signed to her former label Mad Decent. However, it looks like Poppy still has quite a few things to say about the record label founded by Diplo.
This week, it was revealed that Mad Decent is releasing an exclusive vinyl featuring Poppy’s old music. Now, Poppy says that she never gave her former label consent to release it.

Back in 2019, Poppy signed to Sumerian Records. Since then, the partnership appears to be going smoothly. She kicked off 2020 with the release of her latest full-length album I Disagree which was soon followed up with the deluxe edition I Disagree (more).
More recently, she put out Music To Scream To, the soundtrack for her second graphic novel Poppy’s Inferno. The EP includes six new ambient songs that are all appropriately titled “Scream.”
Now, it looks like Poppy still has a few things to say about her former label. On Monday, fans began to tweet that a vinyl pressing of “Girls In Bikinis” and “Fashion After All,” off of 2018’s Am I A Girl?, is being released through Mad Decent. Fans first spotted the exclusive vinyl on Record Store Day‘s website.

“Don’t buy it,” she tweets. “I didn’t consent to the release of that.”
Don’t buy it. I didn’t consent to the release of that.

Soon after, Poppy followed up with another tweet about how grateful she is to no longer be signed to Mad Decent.
“I’m so glad I’m not signed to Mad Decent anymore. A bunch of fuck boys under one roof.”

The “Girls In Bikinis” and “Fashion After All” vinyl is expected to be released on Nov. 26 according to the listing. Currently, it is “unavailable” on most online retailers, but copies will be sold through local music stores. However, it is clear that Poppy doesn’t want fans to buy the exclusive release and support her former label.
