SZA has warned those who leaked her music will face the wrath of the law.
The “Kill Bill” hitmaker is angry after her songs fell victim to a leak and has vowed to take legal action against whoever “stole” her art.
”LEAKING MY MUSIC IS STEALING. THIS IS MY JOB. THIS IS MY LIFE AND MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. YOU ARE A THIEF, AND I PROMISE TO PUT MAXIMUM ENERGY INTO HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW. I AM TIRED,” she fumed on X.
“When music leaks, it often leads to delays and/or canceling whole projects,” Top Dawg Entertainment President Terrence “Punch” Henderson warned when he shared his client’s post.
Fans are currently waiting to hear an extended edition of SZA’s acclaimed album SOS called LANA.
The star has not stated whether she will be forced to delay the project as a result of the leak.
SZA previously explained how the deluxe edition ended up turning into a “whole project” of its own.
“The deluxe is a whole ’nother album. It’s called LANA. It’s seven to 10 songs, and it’ll be out this fall,” she told fans at a free Brooklyn concert last September.
Meanwhile, the chart-topping star was left “very shook” and “overwhelmed” by her nine Grammy nods.
The “Nobody Gets Me” hitmaker leads the nominations at the upcoming ceremony on Feb. 4, but she hadn’t reacted until an X user called her out for not commenting on the news. SZA insisted it was because she was still taking it all in and gets filled with “anxiety” when she tries to think of a way to express her gratitude.
“Cause I’m overwhelmed by it, and it gives me alotta anxiety to think of words … but I’m very grateful and very shook, and I wish my granny was here to come [with] me again,” she responded.
Her nods come in the Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories.
SZA released her acclaimed SOS album back in December 2022, and it features the hit single “Kill Bill,” which is among the nominees for the Record of the Year. She has won one Grammy to date, in 2022, for “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat.
