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.
