AceShowbiz - Amanda Bynes had a special treat for fans as she celebrated the end of her nearly 9-year conservatorship. On Wednesday, April 13, the "What a Girl Wants" star released a new song called "Diamonds" with her fiance Paul Michael.
The 36-year-old shared an audio clip of the track on her Instagram page. Alongside the post, she wrote, "DIAMONDS on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon music and itunes! search DIAMONDS Amanda Bynes Paul Michael."
"Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds on my neck, on my wrist," the actress-turned-fashion student spits in her verse. "Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds on my fist/ Yeah, I whip."
Speaking about the rap song, Amanda's lawyer, David A. Esquibias, revealed to PEOPLE that it was recorded in early 2020. "Amanda is creative and playful. She had a lot of fun recording 'Diamonds' during the first shutdown of the pandemic," David said. "She is now able to share it with her fans."
The track arrived after a judge officially terminated Amanda's conservatorship on March 22. Following the judge's decision, she said in a statement, "I would like to thank my fans for their love and well wishes during this time. I would also like to thank my lawyer and my parents for their support over the last nine years."
"In the last several years, I have been working hard to improve my health so that I can live and work independently, and I will continue to prioritize my well-being in this next chapter," she continued. "I am excited about my upcoming endeavors - including my fragrance line - and look forward to sharing more when I can."
Also feeling satisfied with the outcome were Amanda's parents, especially her mom Lynn Bynes. Tamar Arminak, attorney for the two, said in a statement, "She could not be more proud of what Amanda has accomplished getting through the last few difficult years… Both mother and daughter I know are happy to restart a relationship that doesn't include this conservatorship and focus on the endless possibilities available to Amanda now that the conservatorship is over."
