Ariana Grande has had mixed reactions after her music leaked online.
The “Thank U, Next” singer was asked about her thoughts on the music leak issue during a recent appearance on “Hot Ones.”
“For me, it’s really hard because it’s so frustrating and disappointing, it sucks, and I’m constantly trying to figure out how people get things,” Grande explained.
The pop star added, “Whether it’s a video, an image, or an audio, a song… it’s very contradictory because it’s very disturbing and extremely inhumane.”
Despite expressing disappointment, the “Wicked” actress is still grateful for her fans’ concern.
“And then there’s the other side. [of me] like, but I’m so grateful to be an artist that people care about. And my fans want more from me, so they’ll do extreme things to steal and break in,” Grande said.
Grande joked, “It’s so great to be loved. But yeah, I feel somewhere between being grateful to be here and feeling like, ‘But really? Come on.'”

Grande previously addressed the leak of her unreleased songs on TikTok during an interview on the “Zach Sang Show” in February.
The “We Can’t Be Friends” singer has discussed how music created during sessions with Swedish producer Max Martin was leaked on TikTok. Reports indicate that one of the leaked songs is titled “Fantasize.”
“Before I left to do ‘Wicked,’ a couple of recording sessions that I did, they’re all on TikTok, thank you so much,” Grande said before addressing those responsible for the leak, “I’m going to put you guys in jail, literally.”
“So ‘Fantasize’ came out — ‘came out’ — crazy, it was stolen.. Out? Thief, pirate, crook, illegal. I’ll pay you more to put it away, to get it back,” she continued.
Surprisingly, Grande admitted that she didn’t always appreciate her earlier music because of the negative memories associated with it.
The former Nickelodeon actor mentioned in “Hot Ones,” “That experience is kind of tied to some of the songs, or some of the songs are more emotional than the experience that inspired them can be tied to music, for me, for a second.”
