\n\tSZA<\/a> is calling out listeners who are leaking music. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith the release of Lana<\/em> \u2014 the upcoming project that she\u2019s described as the deluxe version of the chart-topping SOS<\/em> \u2014 on the horizon, the singer-songwriter says she\u2019s \u201ctired\u201d of song leaks and intends to hold people accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLEAKING MY MUSIC IS STEALING . THIS IS MY JOB . THIS IS MY LIFE AND MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. YOU ARE A FUCKING THIEF AND I PROMISE TO PUT MAXIMUM ENERGY INTO HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW . I AM TIRED,\u201d SZA wrote Saturday (Jan. 6) on X<\/a>, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also addressed song leaks<\/a> in a November interview with Variety<\/em>: \u201cWhen people leak my songs, they ruin them,\u201d said SZA. \u201cThen it\u2019s not mine anymore; it\u2019s actually yours. It\u2019s something unfinished that\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0decided was ready to be shared.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the time, she noted, \u201cAnd it\u2019s like, \u2018F\u2014 you. Now I\u2019m not releasing it.\u2019 Play your leak, but you\u2019re not gonna bully me into dropping music. I\u2019m now embarrassed by this less-than-correct version that you put out. You\u2019ve sent me into a weird space creatively when you could have just waited for me, but you\u2019re selfish.\u201d<\/p>\n
