Ariana Grande has taken her decade-long battle with music leakers to court, filing a lawsuit that accuses hackers of stealing and selling dozens of her unreleased songs on the dark web.
The Grammy-winning singer's legal team lodged the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, 27 July 2026. The suit names no individuals, instead targeting up to 100 unidentified 'John Doe' defendants. Grande alleges the hackers infiltrated the personal digital accounts of photographers and producers who work closely with her, then sold the stolen material on the dark web for what the filing describes as 'significant sums' of money.
