American pop star Ariana Grande has launched legal proceedings against two unidentified individuals accused of illegally obtaining and distributing her unreleased music and private studio content.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles and cited by several U.S. media organizations, the singer alleges the suspects infiltrated the computers and digital accounts of people within her creative team, including producers and photographers, to steal confidential material.
The lawsuit claims the stolen files were later sold on the dark web for large financial gains.
The filing states that at least 45 of Grande’s unreleased tracks were unlawfully accessed and circulated in 2023 alone.
It also notes that since the beginning of her recording career in 2011, hundreds of unauthorized leaks involving her work have surfaced online.
Her legal representatives say the primary objective of the lawsuit is to identify those responsible and hold them accountable for the alleged cyberattacks.
Grande has previously voiced frustration over the repeated release of unfinished recordings.
During a 2024 interview on the Zach Sang Show, she addressed the online spread of Fantasize, a track created alongside Swedish producer Max Martin.
She explained that the song had been written for a television project rather than for her own album and criticized those responsible for making it public without authorization, joking that they deserved to face legal consequences.
The lawsuit further alleges that the hackers repeatedly targeted members of Grande’s professional circle over several years.
In 2025, one producer’s mobile device was reportedly compromised, allowing access to demo recordings, master files, and behind-the-scenes footage from recording sessions.
The complaint also claims that in 2024, the perpetrators allegedly created a fake email account posing as one of Grande’s photographers, convincing a digital technician to hand over unreleased images belonging to the singer.
Grande argues that the actions not only violated her privacy but also damaged the trust she shares with her supporters.
The lawsuit includes claims relating to invasion of privacy, breaches of California’s computer crime laws, and unlawful possession of her intellectual property.
Her attorneys maintain that the cyber intrusions caused significant personal and professional damage, disrupting her career while exposing confidential creative work without consent.
The legal action comes just days before the release of Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal, scheduled to arrive on Friday.
She is also continuing her global concert tour, with performances in the United Kingdom set for August.
In recent interviews, the award-winning performer has suggested the current tour could mark her final live performances for an extended period, saying she intends to make the shows a memorable farewell before stepping away from touring for the foreseeable future.
