A Spotify user who leaked an unreleased Ariana Grande demo to the music streaming platform is reportedly being fined thousands.

As per X account Buzzing Pop, a track dubbed ‘Fantasize’ was uploaded to Spotify under the name ‘Adriana Venti’.

The song is reportedly an unreleased Ariana Grande demo which was never intended for an album.

As per Music Times, the ‘Fantasize’ leak earned over 70,000 streams earlier this month and reached the Philippines' Spotify Daily Top Songs before it was eventually taken down.

Grande herself has even reacted to her unreleased song going viral across social media.

Grande has previously discussed song leaks in a recent questions and answers session for her beauty brand, R.E.M.

During the chat, the actor said: "You guys have heard every bad song and b*** demo that I've ever made. Hilarious.

"It's impossible to keep things from you. You gotta take some swings and misses. I'm all out of secrets. You've stolen all my unreleased music, it's horrible.”

Her latest original song was her collaboration with Kid Cudi ‘Don’t Look Up’ for the soundtrack of Netflix’s disaster comedy of the same name.
