- Mar 28, 2024
AceShowbiz - SZA has clarified that her recent music leak is not an inside job. After a fan raised question as to how the hacker(s) got their hands on her songs, the singer/actress has brushed off all suspicion and defended her team.
"RCA has scanned everyone's laptops. Producers mangers and engineers no one has sent anything," she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday, March 27. "This means the information is hacked and stolen..which means it's a criminal offense."
Slamming those who leaked her songs, the 34-year-old continued, "And please be clear anybody defending a thief is weird as f**k . I don't come in your job and take s**t and f**k up your work . Why would that be okay ? Where's the home training ? Nobody wants to prosecute a young woman . We've all asked very nicely for some time now."
SZA previously announced that she would be releasing the leaked songs as a deluxe edition of her Grammy-winning sophomore full-length "SOS". "Yesterday Janessa leaked unreleased pics and audio. Then she deleted and deactivated before rca could get her . I screenshotted . Being that this is material form Lana This prompted me to make a decision," she shared with her fans.
"Will be dropping the leaks and outtakes from SOS as promised as the deluxe asap. Lana deserves more time and music no one’s ever heard before seems fair . Bless," she added, noting that she's going to start her new album "Lana" "from scratch."
"So, we'll make this really simple," the R&B star added. "Y'all leaked three songs from the deluxe. At this point, y'all can keep the throwaways and leaks. I'll be starting 'Lana' from scratch. Do not ask me about it again. Thank you. I'll round up the leaks y'all already got and u can have those. Seems like a fair deal. ENJOY."
Expressing her frustration over the leak, she wrote in a separate tweet, "The second leak tweet was fake but for sure pissed me off lol. Janessa was also in the replies to that tweet before she deactivated. I decided w all the leaks and me not knowing what someone has or doesn't have it's too complicated so I should jus consolidate the leaks and the outtakes and drop that as to not prolong the process and then focus on my next project as a win win for everybody. Y'all know I hate a thread but I had to clarify .. now enjoy your evening. I love you."
