Inês Brasil

In 2017, Inês participated in a promotional video for the release of the Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black, in which she speaks to protagonist Piper Chapman. She was also present in a similar video for the series.

In 2015, she released her first studio album, Make Love, which contains original songs, as well as covers of classic MPB songs. Currently, she travels all across Brazil for concerts in clubs, performing around 20 concerts a month.

On March 17, 2015, Inês launched her first studio album, Make Love, on iTunes and Google Play, as well as on music streaming platforms Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. The music video for Make Love, the first track on the album, surpassed 5 million views on YouTube. On December 1, 2015, when the Grammy Awards official Facebook page made a post asking the public who should be nominated, Inês’ fans flooded the comments section with the sentence in English: “Inês Brasil best be nominated”. The mobilization of her fans online led to the organization blocking internet traffic from Brazil to the website used to vote for potential nominees.

On the day of February 20, 2015, a video of Inês being allegedly physically assaulted by her then manager and advisor Thiago Araújo went public. The fight would have taken place in the early hours of Wednesday the 18th at the Espaço Acústica concert hall in Rio de Janeiro, where Inês had performed and Thiago, also a DJ, had played. When questioned by EGO [pt], an online Brazilian tabloid, Thiago confirmed the dispute and said that Inês was going too far by streaking on stage and that, as her manager, he was called by the management of the concert hall and some friends to contain her. He said that there was no aggression on his part and that he was simply trying to get Inês off the stage so she wouldn't take her clothes off, as she often does. Despite having minimized the rumors of assault, Thiago confirmed that in the heat of the moment, Inês Brasil was at a police station to receive a physical exam and file assault charges against him.

In May 2015, Inês Brasil was involved in a scandal in which a video of her having sex with a guy named Diego was leaked. The singer said she had no involvement in leaking the video. Diego had asked to record them having sex but said he would not release it. However, the video was released. Diego said that he had lost his cell phone and that he would not have released the video by his own doing.

In 2013, Inês got involved in a dispute with Brazilian DJ, singer, and dancer Sabrina Boing Boing. They consequently argued over reporting of their dispute. On her YouTube channel, Inês publicly criticized the model's attitude. Confusion arose when – according to Inês in an interview with TV Fama – Inês was taking topless pictures with her fans when Sabrina suggested she push her breasts together and Inês refused.

A friend of Inês suggested that she make an audition video for the TV Globo reality show Big Brother Brasil. Inês agreed and sent videos for five years, from the show's 2009 season to its 2013 season. Her December 2012 audition video went viral, launching her into fame.
