After controversy with Gal Costa’s widow, the singer’s profile is now managed by a record company after completing 100 days of death

This Friday, the 17th, it will be 100 days since Gal Costa died, and a surprise has been prepared for the singer’s friends and fans. The official profile of the Bahian woman on Instagram came to be managed by her label, which published an essay by Gal made by Bob Wolfenson.

Profile control was the subject of controversy about a month ago, when Wilma Petrillo, Gal’s widow, published a photo of herself, taken by the singer, a few years ago in Salvador. Friends and artists asked for the team’s intervention so that the singer’s memory was preserved.

Widow of Gal Costa, Wilma Petrillo irritates famous friends and fans by posting a photo with a dog on the singer’s official profile

“100 days without Gal. Starting today, this space will be dedicated to the celebration of the life and work of our great and unforgettable artist”, published the Biscoito Fino team, which removed Wilma’s photo from the feed.

Gal Costa’s widow was also the singer’s manager and Gabriel’s ‘second mother’

.

A few days ago, Wilma also deleted her personal Instagram account. When she posted on de Gal, she was questioned and attacked by personalities and many fans of the singer, but nothing responded. Among them was Mariana de Moraes, granddaughter of Vinicius de Moraes, friend and fan of the Bahian singer, who couldn’t contain herself when she came across the publication at the time.

“An artist like Gal is not made on Instagram. This post by his widow is regrettable and disrespectful to us. But Gal is bigger than that. Bigger than that person or a profile on Instagram. Only today are there tributes to Cartola’s birthday, Rubem Braga, Lamartine Babo. Gal will be remembered until when there won’t even be an Instagram anymore for the beauty and importance of her work. When an artist dies, sometimes, those who inherit are even jealous and do everything to destroy. Obstructing authorizations, preventing tributes, demanding unaffordable prices. As is the case of the widow. So, it will be up to us, the fans, to exalt her beauty and richness. And history, because time is what will keep her importance in our lives alive. Long live Gal Costa!”, she wrote when commenting on the post.

After Mariana’s comment, Maria Gadú, Ciro Barcellos and Bebel Gilberto joined the chorus of discontent.
