Tanna Leone Confirms PG Lang Ties Amid Speculation
Los Angeles rapper Tanna Leone recently reignited speculation about his connection to Kendrick Lamar’s pgLang collective with a revealing tweet. Leone wrote, “I’m still signed to PG. Going on 5 years now. Do with that info what u will :)”, confirming his contractual ties while leaving room for interpretation.
Fans and industry observers have long debated whether Leone quietly parted ways with pgLang. Subtle changes, such as the removal of pgLang from his official biography and project credits, fueled these questions. Leone first emerged under the pgLang banner in March 2022, signing a joint deal with Def Jam and releasing tracks including “With the Villains” and “Lucky.” That same year, he contributed vocals to Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers title track, earning a Grammy nomination and positioning him as one of pgLang’s rising voices.
Despite early acclaim, Leone’s momentum slowed, prompting fans to scrutinize his current role within the collective. Observers noted changes in his public presentation, with social media and Reddit discussions highlighting the absence of pgLang from his credits. Unverified claims surfaced online by late 2024 accusing Leone of leaking unreleased Kendrick Lamar material, including alternate versions of “ELEMENT” and unreleased diss tracks. While these allegations remain unconfirmed, they intensified speculation about trust, collaboration, and loyalty behind the scenes.
In 2025, Leone returned with a preview of “Peter Pan,” featuring Kendrick Lamar’s ad-libs and production by Cardo. The snippet drew mixed reactions, prompting Leone to defend his work and comment on changes within the music industry. He acknowledged the difficulty of balancing underground credibility with mainstream expectations, highlighting frustrations shared by many contemporary artists.
At present, the relationship between Tanna Leone and pgLang remains unclear. Neither Leone nor the collective has directly addressed rumors, leaving his status open to interpretation. His tweet serves as both confirmation of his official ties and a reminder of the complexities inherent in artistic partnerships. In an industry where perception often outweighs reality, Leone’s place within pgLang continues to be shaped by ambition, loyalty, and the unpredictable dynamics of the music business.
