This isn’t the first time SZA has shared her thoughts about people leaking music. In an interview with Variety in November, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist said songs are ruined once they’re leaked.
“When people leak my songs, they ruin them,” she told Variety. “Then it’s not mine anymore; it’s actually yours. It’s something unfinished that you decided was ready to be shared. And it’s like, ‘Fuck you. Now I’m not releasing it.'”
She continued, “Play your leak, but you’re not gonna bully me into dropping music. I’m now embarrassed by this less-than-correct version that you put out. You’ve sent me into a weird space creatively when you could have just waited for me, but you’re selfish.”
