Following the leak of the LP before its official release date, Wayne also told MTV US that he was "glad" his fans got to hear a sneak peek of his new material.
The 28-year old star explained: "It just means people want to hear it. I mean, 'cause there're people's albums that come out that can be leaked and don't leak, so I'm glad mines leaked."
