While most hit artists experience leaks at some point in their careers, SZA has been unfairly targeted time and time again. It got to the point where she had to threaten legal action against anyone who leaked her songs, making an announcement on X back in January.
The hackers have now come for the long-awaited Lana album. The project was initially billed as the deluxe edition of her sophomore LP SOS before she revealed that in the process of making it, Lana had morphed into a standalone project.
In a since-deleted post on X, SZA revealed that three songs had been leaked and that she would now be starting the album from scratch.
“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,” she wrote.
In a separate post, also deleted, she added that she’ll “round up the leaks y’all already got and u can have those. Seems like a fair deal. ENJOY.”
Earlier this month, SZA had dropped a teaser for another song off of Lana, seemingly kicking off the album’s rollout after dropping “Saturn” months prior. It now seems that the future of the Lana album is in limbo.
