Ariana Grande issued a warning to hackers responsible for the unreleased versions of her song.
In a recent interview on the Zach Sang Show podcast, the 30-year-old discussed the moment her music from studio sessions with Max Martin was leaked.
Ariana recalled Fantasize’s popularity on TikTok, saying, “Before I left for Wicked, the few studio sessions I did, which are all — all — over TikTok, thank you so much.”
She then told the hackers, “I’ll see you in jail, literally.”
Ariana then revealed that the song was originally created for an unknown TV show, not her own studio album.
“So Fantasize comes out – ‘comes out’ — insane, stolen. Come out? Thieves, pirates, and crooks are illegal. I’ll pay you more to put it away, to get it back,” she said with a laugh.
However, Ariana admitted that she was taken aback by the positive feedback.
“I was like, ‘a) all of you are absolute hypocrites, and b) that’s crazy! It’s so corny!’ But it’s okay. I took the note, and I kind of gave them Ariana’s version of that on the album. I would say that exists,” she said.
