With the evolution of technology, there have been more hackers online, hacking into people’s personal things and stealing things that shouldn’t be touched.
For example, King Bob, who is a 19-Year-Old from Florida, had been arrested for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft and faces up to 20 years in federal prison. He is known for leaking Ariana Grande and Playboy Carti’s music.
As leaks started to circulate, multiple fans have uploaded the unreleased tracks that leaked from various artists on TikTok where it picked up mass attention and gained popularity very quickly.
By uploading one leak, people allow others to see the leak that was posted and possibly have them save it so they could do the same and spread it around.
A huge artist like Ariana Grande, for example, has had lots of songs that were leaked, that were not supposed to be stolen. Multiple leaks of her unreleased songs have circulated around TikTok including a fan favorite, “Fantasize.”
This song was a huge hit and fans started to become so obsessed over it that one person uploaded to Spotify, and it made its way onto a country’s chart.
Ariana stated that the song was a demo for another girl group, and it would not make itself onto an album, but that a version of “Ariana’s Version,” would make it on her new album “Eternal Sunshine” coming out March 8.
Another song that was leaked, made itself onto the album called “True Story,” and it was previously recorded for something else but made itself out on the internet with many fans to save the leak, although there have been multiple demos leaked, Ariana decided to enhance the song with a new beat and vocals.
In conclusion, the belief is that fans should be able to hold onto unreleased music even if it means that the artist does not like it.
