Fifty Fifty rose to prominence with the release of "Cupid," a song that secured a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart within a year of the group's debut in November. However, the group's trajectory faced an abrupt halt when members filed for an injunction to terminate their contracts with the agency, Attrakt, on June 19.
While Keena dropped her case against Attrakt and returned on Oct. 16, receiving her first payment in November, the other three members — Aran, Sio, and Saena — had their contracts terminated by Attrakt on Oct. 19.
Keena attended the 2023 Billboard Music Awards solo on Nov. 19.
