SZA has warned those who leaked her music will face the wrath of the law.
The ‘Kill Bill’ hitmaker has been left angered after her songs fell victim to a leak and has vowed to take legal action against whoever “stole” her art.
She fumed on X (Twitter): ”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 .”
Top Dawg Entertainment President Terrence ‘Punch’ Henderson shared his client’s post and warned: “When music leaks it often leads to delays and/or canceling whole projects.”
Fans are currently waiting to hear an extended edition of SZA’s acclaimed album ‘SOS’ called ‘LANA’.
The 34-year-old 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.
She told fans at a free Brooklyn concert last September: “The deluxe is a whole ’nother album. It’s called ‘Lana.’ It’s seven to 10 songs and it’ll be out this fall.”
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 February 4, but she hadn’t reacted until an X user called her out for not commenting on the news, and she 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.
She responded: “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 w me again. (sic)”
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 gong.
She has won one Grammy to date, in 2022, for ‘Kiss Me More’ with Doja Cat.
