SZA's Electrifying Week: GQ Cover, Grammy Nods, and Navigating Drama at 36
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has had another electrifying week marked by high-profile interviews, award nominations, fresh business moves, and a swirl of headline-making drama. She kicked off November with a widely buzzed *GQ* cover story, reflecting on her record-breaking year. After finishing her first-ever international co-headlining stadium tour with Kendrick Lamar, starring in her debut film *One Of Them Days*, dominating the Super Bowl halftime show, and holding the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 spot for 13 consecutive weeks with SOS, SZA confessed she’s barely paused to breathe. According to *GQ*, she’s already “back in her Burbank studio” crafting new music, despite feeling “frazzled.” She admitted to abandoning rest and diving into experimentation, collaborating with writers outside her usual circle for the first time and absorbing the artistry of legends like Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. SZA is intent on “delivering certified bangers,” but made it clear there’s no rush for an album drop before 2026—a revelation stirring up speculation among fans pining for new tracks.

Birthdays have never been just simple affairs for SZA. On November 8th, she turned 36 and celebrated by surprising fans with a new addition to her beauty line—a gloss and coat delivered in response to overwhelming demand. She took to Instagram, as spotlighted by *TMZ*, sharing her gratitude and flaunting fresh, candid birthday shots that fueled celebrations across social media. Fans and celebrities alike showered her with birthday wishes, echoing admiration for her vulnerability and her ability to make music that resonates deeply.

The Grammy nominations broke just prior to her birthday, igniting waves of excitement. SZA earned multiple nods for her collaborations, particularly *Luther* and *30 for 30* with Kendrick Lamar, landing her in contention for Record and Song of the Year as reported by *The News International*. She’s once again at the heart of conversations about the future of R&B and hip-hop.

But it wouldn’t be SZA’s week without a dose of drama. In the *GQ* interview—picked up widely by outlets like *ABC Audio* and *iHeart Radio*—SZA broke her silence on the “strange” and unprovoked social media attacks from Nicki Minaj. She confirmed there’s “no connection” or personal history with Nicki, chalking the beef up to randomness and refusing to fuel it further. Meanwhile, as Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s feud raged on, SZA kept her distance, telling *GQ* she wouldn’t insert herself between “two grown-ass men,” a stance that earned her respect for neutrality.

Behind the scenes, she continues to build her legacy—working closely with Steve Lacy, staying visible in entertainment headlines, and appearing on social feeds where fans dissect every cryptic post. Whether she’s launching new products, being nominated for awards, or navigating industry drama, SZA is driving her narrative—frazzled but fearlessly honest and ever evolving.

SZA's Meteoric Rise: Authentic Music, Online Feuds, and What's Next
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

After a year that broke records and redefined her place in music history SZA remains the center of attention onstage in the studio and even in the ever-churning cauldron of celebrity social media. According to GQ her 2025 was nothing short of meteoric as she became the first woman to headline and sell out stadium dates across the US alongside Kendrick Lamar for their Grand National tour capping it off with a major performance at the Super Bowl halftime show and watching her single SOS dominate the Billboard Hot 100 for thirteen weeks straight. Billboard and Hot 100.9 further confirmed her record-breaking singles run only weeks before she starred in her first feature film One Of Them Days deepening her mainstream imprint.

Now SZA reveals in her GQ cover story that instead of basking in her success she went straight back into the studio barely pausing to breathe. She candidly admits to feeling frazzled joking that she is almost overwhelmed by the pace as she churns out new music with Steve Lacy and explores collaborations with songwriters outside her usual circle. Among the songs to surface from these sessions are Passenger Princess Burgers and Yearner. Although fans are clamoring for a new album SZA says the next release is unlikely before 2026 but promises that it will showcase her most authentic emotionally raw self yet pushing through perfectionism and the weight of expectation.

On the internet SZA became part of a headline-grabbing online spat with Nicki Minaj after Nicki targeted her in social media posts over the summer referencing SZA’s freckles and musical style. As reported by ABC Audio and Hot 101.7 SZA set the record straight in her recent interviews explaining that there was no real connection or backstory between them describing the exchange as random and a little strange. She calmly clapped back at the shade but refused to stoke further drama. BET and Rap-Up report SZA also spoke openly about refusing to pick sides during the high-profile feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake—emphasizing her loyalty to both while maintaining grace and professionalism choosing not to insert herself in what she described as an issue between two grown men.

As she nears her 36th birthday SZA is prioritizing health family and creative renewal. She remains financially empowered by her highly favorable 70 30 record deal with Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA according to Afrotech. On the nightlife front an LA event titled Night of SZA at Novel Hollywood celebrates her influence while her voice and vision continue to shape RnB for a new generation. No major business announcements or partnerships have emerged in the last few days though SZA has teased her intention to make her new era the boldest of her career. Any rumors of an album drop remain unconfirmed. For now her focus lies on making music that moves her not the algorithm and the musical world is watching every move.

SZA
SZA's Unstoppable Rise: AMAs, Sold-Out Tours, and Social Media Buzz
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has been everywhere these past few days—from the AMAs to stadium stages and even the depths of social media drama. Her recent appearance at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas stole headlines, not just for her wins but for the viral moment when she nearly tumbled onstage in a sleek Ellie Misner corset and skintight mermaid skirt. She ended up hopping her way to accept the award for Favorite Female R&B Artist, managing to avoid a wardrobe malfunction thanks to glittery Houston-sourced pasties. On Instagram, she laughed off the incident and gave a cheeky shoutout to the dancer who supplied her last-minute fix. SZA’s unfiltered interaction and self-deprecating humor further solidified her reputation for authenticity in an industry obsessed with perfection according to PEOPLE.

On the music front, SZA continues burning up the charts. Her “SOS” album still holds records for the longest reign atop the R&B charts, beating out legends like Aretha Franklin, and her North American tour raked in over $30 million. Just this week, SZA was co-headlining the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar, lighting up stadiums from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, drawing massive crowds as reported by Allegiant Stadium and PEOPLE. At her LA show, fans were treated to a surprise when Lizzo—her longtime friend since 2014—joined her for a joyous rendition of “Special.” Both artists gushed about their bond online, with Lizzo calling SZA “THEE DIVA” and SZA routinely defending her friend against internet trolls and body shamers.

Social media has been buzzing around SZA not only for her Halloween looks—she posted a string of sizzling snaps and a daring sheer lace bodysuit on Instagram, sending fans wild—but also for some controversy. Over the weekend, rumors of a souring relationship with Taylor Swift swept through X and Reddit. Fans accused SZA of “liking” shady posts about Swift’s new album and her relationship, leading to allegations of hypocrisy and fueling speculation of an unspoken feud. Neither artist has commented publicly, but the online drama has mobilized armies on both sides, as noted by The News.

On the business side, SZA’s joint record deal with Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA remains a hot topic in industry circles. Her 70/30 profit split gives her an unparalleled slice of the pie, which is unusually favorable for an artist as reported by DJ Booth and Grammy News. Meanwhile, her $6 million net worth keeps growing, buoyed by tour revenue, streaming, and merchandising, and there’s continued buzz about future collaborations and projects.

Finally, fans in Atlanta are gearing up for a major SZA tribute concert at Seven Midtown next week, an event likely to draw both die-hard and casual listeners for an evening of live R&B celebrating her influence according to Eventbrite.

From glitter, gossip, and Grammys to viral moments and business power moves, SZA remains the R&B icon no one can ignore.

SZA
SZA's Chart-Topping Moment, Creative Collab, and Atlanta Tribute Night | Music News Roundup
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA’s last few days have been marked by both a historic chart moment and a creative collaboration that’s catching attention across music circles. The biggest headline is the abrupt end of a 35-year streak for rap in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 40, triggered by Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther” dropping off the chart entirely. Billboard changed its chart methodology, so “luther”—a 13-week No. 1 hit, and one of rap’s biggest cross-genre successes this year—was declared recurrent after falling below certain thresholds. Nearly every major music outlet, including The FADER and AOL, reported this as a sign of shifting tastes and declining market share for hip-hop. Rap now commands only about 24% of the US market, down from 30% just five years ago. For SZA, whose work so often sits at the intersection of R&B, pop, and hip-hop, being at the center of this moment will likely become a significant footnote in her career, illustrating both her impact on the genre and times of transition within the industry.

On the creative front, SZA made news with a featured performance in MoRuf’s “PT Cruiser.” Joshua Kissi’s music video dropped October 29 and is already described by Promonews as a “breezy combination of performance with heartwarming vignettes.” The video leans heavily on nostalgia, with a dreamy suburban aesthetic designed to evoke warmth, friendship, and the passage of time. Critics have praised SZA’s chemistry with MoRuf and the emotionally resonant theme, suggesting the project may have lasting influence not just for MoRuf but also SZA’s reputation as a flexible and generative collaborator in contemporary R&B and hip hop visuals.

While SZA herself has kept a relatively low public profile this week, her name is everywhere thanks to a just-announced musical tribute in Atlanta. Royal Marketing is promoting “Unplugged: SZA Tribute Night”—a live R&B event dedicated to her artistry—set for November 12 at Seven Midtown. The buzz is strong on platforms like Eventbrite, with organizers highlighting Atlanta’s top vocalists and musicians reinterpreting her catalogue. This kind of curated celebration reflects her ongoing cultural impact, particularly among young artists in the neo-soul and alternative R&B spaces.

No major sightings, direct business deals, or controversial social media activity from SZA herself have made verified news in the past few days. There’s chatter about upcoming appearances, but as is often the case in SZA’s orbit, much remains fueled by anticipation rather than confirmed scheduling. What’s clear is that in a week when charts shifted and genre boundaries blurred, SZA’s name remains inextricably linked to the biggest music story in America, with her legacy only growing stronger.

SZA's Viral Moments: From Concert Chaos to Tech Controversy
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has had a whirlwind of headline-making moments over just the past few days. The most widely discussed incident saw SZA storming off during a meet-and-greet outside State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona after a fan threw a bracelet that struck her on the face. According to AOL the singer was visibly shocked and immediately left without a word and security followed quickly behind. The moment set off a storm on TikTok and X formerly Twitter, with many fans expressing outrage at the behavior and speculating on stricter rules for future meet-and-greets. However SZA herself addressed the viral incident later on her Instagram Story. As reported by BuzzFeed she reassured fans that she was not angry and had no lasting harm, saying “he didn’t even know he hit me so everything was alright. I’m not mad and I didn’t even have a mark. God is good all the time.”

Musically SZA continues to dominate the pop and RnB landscape. Just last week at the Los Angeles stop of the Grand National Tour, SZA delivered another major moment by bringing Lizzo onstage at SoFi Stadium for a surprise duet of Lizzo’s hit “Special.” PEOPLE detailed how SZA called the stadium experience “scary” and brought out her “best friend for energy and positivity.” Following the performance Lizzo posted a heartfelt tribute to SZA on Instagram calling her “THEE DIVA.” These public displays of support are drawing even more attention to their long-running friendship and mutual respect.

Online, SZA has also been at the center of heated social media debate after commenting on Instagram about the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the ethics of its creation. As covered by the International Business Times and Soap Central, SZA called out the human cost of modern tech by stating “Children in Congo literally died for this phone.” Her stance generated a passionate response both in her defense and against her, with some accusing her of hypocrisy for using iPhones herself. Despite backlash, supporters highlighted SZA’s history of advocacy for environmental justice and mental health. The discourse placed SZA again at the intersection of pop culture, activism, and controversy with her every word dissected across platforms.

On the business side, SZA’s ongoing tour with Kendrick Lamar is still one of the year’s most significant live music events, grossing over 55 million dollars from just a few stadium stops according to Hits Daily Double. She also continues to expand her brand impact, with a much-hyped Vans collaboration that fuses her cultural influence with cutting-edge fashion, as Office Magazine highlights. Major music news outlets continue to track her rumored new music and brand partnerships, which are likely to boost her net worth and biographical legacy further, though no specific release announcements have been confirmed this week.

In other notable headlines, SZA took time to praise Renee Rapp’s harp-backed cover of her track “Good Days” on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge and shared the performance with her followers, calling Rapp an inspiration as reported by Rolling Stone. Instagram Reels also continue to feature SZA audio as trending sounds, keeping her voice at the forefront of digital culture according to Later.com.

These developments—viral meet-and-greet drama, headline collaborations, social media fire, and business expansion—demonstrate an artist in her prime, with each move scrutinized for both its musical and cultural weight. For SZA, this past week was less about spectacle and more about influence in every sphere: public, digital, and personal.

SZA
SZA's Super Bowl Splash, Tour Buzz, and Viral Moments: Inside Her Whirlwind Week
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has been everywhere these past few days, with headlines and social chatter tracking her every move. The most significant development is her slated appearance as a guest at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show alongside Kendrick Lamar—a confirmation from the NFL itself that sent fans scrambling for tickets and social media posts. This pairing isn’t just a brief cameo; the announcement landed with a cheeky video of SZA dousing Lamar in a celebratory blue drink, amplifying anticipation for what’s sure to be a high-profile performance at the Caesars Superdome this February. Their chemistry isn't limited to this one event; they’re also preparing for a 19-city “Grand National Tour” together, stretching across North America later in the year, all after releasing multiple standout collaborations and earning a stack of Grammy nominations for both stars.

On the business front, SZA is set to push new music and brand deals, both of which are expected to drive her net worth even higher according to various industry insiders. These strategic commercial plays have kept her in headlines, as has her penchant for collaborations—she recently worked with MoRuf on the buzzy “PT Cruiser” and lent her voice to Mac Miller’s posthumous single “DJ’s Chord Organ,” which she promoted emotionally on social media, reminding fans how much she misses Miller.

Public appearances have been stacked as she rides the wave of her new Issa Rae-produced film “One of Them Days” with Keke Palmer. SZA and Palmer’s lively banter about the filming process has fueled viral moments, while SZA’s own tweets have become a focal point for news coverage. Just last week, she set boundaries with fans online, lamenting that oversharing had led to entitlement and disrespect, and declaring a new era of privacy with, “Punch was right.” Social media has picked up every bit of this, amplifying her frustrations—especially when she’s spoken out passionately against global inequities, mounting environmental disasters, and political indifference. Her posts on AI anxiety, mass pollution, and humanitarian crises have resonated far beyond her fanbase and trended rapidly, earning her praise for both honesty and activism.

Despite the spotlight, SZA’s personal boundaries remain firm. She was absent from the 2025 Met Gala, citing her packed tour schedule and her previous anxiety at the event. Her comments about sneaking from the gala in 2022, overwhelmed and shoeless, have resurfaced, painting a candid picture of the pressures she faces.

On the music charts, SZA and Travis Scott’s “Love Galore” just hit diamond certification eligibility—over 10 million units sold and a billion streams on Spotify—a monument to her commercial reach and lasting cultural impact. Celebrity friends continue to lift her up, with Lizzo offering heartfelt tributes and Reneé Rapp receiving public praise for covering SZA’s “Good Days.” Elsewhere, SZA’s name is in the mix for trending pop culture drama, with speculation swirling about the depth of her relationship with Drake and a fresh spat with Nicki Minaj playing out online, although much of that remains unconfirmed.

Between her powerful performances, headline-grabbing collaborations, candid social media moments, and advocacy, SZA’s last few days have been stacked with milestones likely to influence her biography for years to come.

SZA
SZA's Superstardom: Navigating Pop Culture Highs, Lows & Controversies
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In just the past few days SZA’s name has lit up both headlines and social feeds for reasons ranging from stadium-level tour news to digital drama. The biggest headline swirling in the pop world is the backlash SZA now faces after she liked—and then unliked—a viral Instagram video criticizing Taylor Swift for lyric choices some say appropriate terms deeply rooted in Black culture. Swift’s passionate fanbase erupted online, many accusing SZA of being “anti-Taylor Swift” and even declaring her career is over, with X and Instagram ablaze in debates about intent, cultural appropriation, and the fine line between artist solidarity and perceived shade. SZA has not publicly commented on the situation, but screenshots confirming the “like” circulated widely, contextualized by her visible past support of Megan Thee Stallion and her history of digital candidness. Some fans rushed to her defense, labeling the uproar an overreaction and reminding the world that nuanced context is lost online, while others noted this is not the first time SZA has been linked to social tension in pop’s inner circle, reigniting old conversations about race and language in music, and keeping SZA trending atop music gossip columns everywhere according to Netflix Junkie and IndiaTimes.

Meanwhile, career-wise SZA’s stature remains solidly superstar. She’s in the midst of the blockbuster Grand National Tour alongside Kendrick Lamar, with recent dates selling out major stadiums and high-profile stage moments—such as a Paris show where Lizzo joined her for a live, much-buzzed “IRL” performance—cementing SZA’s reputation as arena-dominating and collaborator-friendly, as detailed by Allegiant Stadium and Rolling Stone. In the streaming and chart world, her 2017 Travis Scott collaboration “Love Galore” has now crossed the billion-streams mark and is newly eligible for diamond certification, a rare milestone flagged by HotNewHipHop.

On the culture front SZA was praised by Renee Rapp, who called her a “huge inspiration” after covering “Good Days” on BBC’s Live Lounge, with SZA publicly reciprocating the admiration in what became a viral Instagram exchange. SZA has also been outspoken in her own right, delivering a now-viral social media post that took a passionate stance on global political and environmental crises, decrying government inaction, societal distractions, and the relentless stresses facing young Black women today. Fans applauded her frankness, sparking widespread discussion across X, Instagram, and Threads, with her blunt declaration that her government “doesn’t give a… if I live or die” leading The Jasmine Brand’s music coverage.

In sum SZA’s last week has been a case study in the highs and hazards of pop stardom today—commanding stadiums, racking up awards and streaming milestones, inspiring the next generation, but also enduring the white-hot glare and volatility of social media, where one click can become a headline and every move is dissected for meaning.

SZA
SZA's Stellar Rise: Super Bowl, Swift Backlash, and Staying Power
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has found herself in the eye of the cultural storm this week, with headlines spanning the worlds of music, pop culture controversy, and major business moves. The most biographically significant news is SZA’s confirmed appearance as a special guest with Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl LIX Halftime show, as previewed in a widely viewed Apple Music trailer—Lamar announced he’ll share the field with her, and fans are already buzzing about their upcoming joint stadium “Grand National Tour,” set to hit major U.S. cities like Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Toronto through spring according to AOL and Allegiant Stadium. Rolling Stone and IMDb both highlighted SZA’s latest musical collab this week, with her unmistakable vocals lighting up MoRuf’s single “PT Cruiser,” now hailed as one of the fall’s biggest surprise hits and fueling even greater anticipation for her next solo material.

But SZA’s week wasn’t just about new music and arena-level stages—it turned turbulent online after she reportedly liked a social media video accusing Taylor Swift of inappropriate Black culture usage and indirect references to Megan Thee Stallion, as reported by IndiaTimes and further discussed across Threads and multiple pop culture outlets. Swifties quickly mobilized, with some accounts declaring SZA’s career “over” and Twitter awash in screenshots showing her like. Fans remain divided: some question whether the interaction was intentional or misinterpreted, especially given SZA’s past public admiration of Swift and mutual Grammy shoutouts. As of now, SZA is keeping a studied silence, neither confirming nor apologizing for her online activity, which only intensifies speculation and keeps her trending on X and Threads.

Meanwhile, SZA’s professional calendar remains packed. Her SOS Tour continues to shatter records for streaming, ticket sales, and critical reception as noted by the Toyota Center. Business insiders point out that the joint stadium venture with Kendrick Lamar represents a major leap in career stature, potentially positioning SZA among the few women of her era to headline U.S. stadiums back-to-back and anchor the world’s most-watched televised music event. In a less publicized but powerful interview with Muslim Girl surfaced this week, SZA revisited her Muslim heritage and identity, reflecting on why she stopped wearing hijab after 9/11—a move fans and commentators call an important moment in her ongoing story of self-definition and resilience.

Looking at the week as a whole, SZA’s latest moves and controversies carry long-term implications: her elevation to Super Bowl and mega-tour status is undeniable career history, while the Taylor Swift drama spotlights how even subtle gestures ignite global conversation in today’s hyper-connected pop ecosystem. The headlines may swirl, but SZA’s star power—on stage, online, and in personal narrative—shows no signs of waning.

SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA remains one of music's most magnetic personalities and her public life this past week reminds us why. Fresh off a landmark moment at the 2024 Grammys SZA found herself sprinting to the stage holding her phone out of breath and beaming as she accepted the award for Best R and B Song for Snooze. She charmed the audience with a candid quip about changing outfits and taking a shot before her name was called and shared a heartfelt hug and praise for longtime friend Lizzo. The relatable spectacle earned her hearty applause but the real headline was SZA leading with the most nominations of the night and also winning Best Pop Duo or Group Performance alongside Phoebe Bridgers for Ghost in the Machine according to TODAY.com. SZA’s performance of Kill Bill that night—complete with burning dumpsters and choreographed fights—set social media abuzz and cemented her long-term place in pop culture’s memory.

In terms of business activity SZA’s impact continues to balloon. She’s teamed up with Kendrick Lamar for the Grand National Tour the biggest hip hop and R and B spectacle of 2025 with joint dates set in Paris at the giant La Défense Arena in mid-July as detailed by Sortiraparis. Early stops have sold briskly with tickets ranging upwards from $77 according to the New York Post pointing to strong commercial demand and suggesting this tour is among her most significant career milestones.

On the industry front SZA is also surfacing in business conversations around artificial intelligence in music. This week she made news for blasting the signing of AI singer Xania Monet to a $3 million contract voicing her anger and concern about how AI may devalue actual musicians’ work and its environmental impact on underserved communities per the Post. Her sharp critique has fueled ongoing debates in music circles and on Instagram.

Meanwhile SZA has entered the ongoing conversation about celebrity influence in fashion.

SZA's Unstoppable Rise: Music Icon, Fashion Mogul, and AI Critic
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA’s presence has rippled through headlines, performances, and social media in recent days, from high-profile appearances to business moves and personal stances—each development underscoring her evolving role as a defining voice in music, culture, and industry discussions. According to That Grape Juice, SZA and Mariah Carey have exchanged warm words both online and in person, with Carey praising SZA’s talent and expressing a desire to collaborate. Carey confirmed she’d be “honored” to work with SZA on a new record, calling her “super talented,” a major cosign from a living legend and, potentially, a prelude to a much-anticipated duet—though, for now, it’s just mutual admiration, not a formal announcement. That same report notes SZA’s recent in-person interview at Apple Music with Carey, marking a rare public crossover between two generations of R&B royalty.

On the touring front, SZA remains one of the most in-demand live performers of the year, with ongoing North American and international stadium shows. According to Tixel, she continues to sell out major venues, from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, underscoring her global appeal. Fans are still buzzing about her joint “Grand National Tour” date with Kendrick Lamar on May 31, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium—though the most recent news cycle hasn’t added new dates, the scale of her current tour reflects her status as a top-tier headliner.

In the realm of public appearances, SZA was recently featured in “A Grammy Salute to Cyndi Lauper,” performing alongside Cher, John Legend, and Joni Mitchell. According to That Grape Juice and AOL, SZA and Legend’s rendition of “Time After Time” was a standout moment, further cementing her reputation as a versatile live performer capable of crossing genres and generations. These high-profile tributes are more than just one-off gigs—they signal SZA’s growing influence as a defining artist of her era.

On the business side, SZA’s fashion credentials have only expanded. A feature in The Fader highlights that over the past year, SZA has taken on the role of artistic director for Vans, joining a growing list of musicians—like Jaden Smith at Louboutin and A$AP Rocky at Ray-Ban—who are reshaping fashion’s creative landscape. This isn’t just a celebrity endorsement; it’s a strategic move that positions SZA at the intersection of music and global style, with long-term implications for both her brand and Vans’ cultural relevance.

SZA also made headlines for her outspoken views on AI in music. When news broke that an AI-generated R&B artist, Xania Monet, had signed a $3 million record deal, SZA took to her Instagram Story to express shock and frustration, according to The Post. She questioned why AI was being prioritized over human artists, especially in R&B, and criticized the environmental and social costs of AI infrastructure. Her comments tapped into a wider industry debate but also highlighted SZA’s willingness to speak up on issues affecting artists and communities, further establishing her as a cultural leader.

Despite her professional triumphs, SZA’s openness about her struggles with anxiety and the pressures of fame continues to resonate with fans. While there are no new mental health updates this week, her past discussions—about leaving the 2022 Met Gala due to anxiety, for example—remain part of her public narrative, as reported in a 2023 cover story.

SZA’s social media has been relatively quiet in terms of major personal updates, though her transformation with hot pink highlights made a minor splash in fashion circles, according to AOL Entertainment. Otherwise, her biggest moves are her collaborations, her advocacy, and her expanding business portfolio. There’s no official word yet on a new album, but the steady stream of performances, partnerships, and public commentary ensures that SZA...

SZA
SZA's Eventful Week: Mariah Carey Collab, Viral Fan Moments, and Record-Breaking Tour Success
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA’s past week has been as eventful as her lyrics are poignant. On September 24th, SZA commanded headlines by leading a deeply personal Apple Music Flowers event alongside Mariah Carey. The livestream saw SZA interviewing Carey about her forthcoming album, Here for It All, and in the process Carey became emotional recalling her late mother and discussing her faith. Rolling Stone spotlit the event for revealing exclusive snippets of new music and offering fans a vulnerable moment between two R&B powerhouses. SZA’s chemistry with Carey was further underscored by hints of potential new music after their studio session, something Carey herself wants to echo the vibe of her own Underneath the Stars, making it one of the most anticipated collaborations in pop culture conversations right now.

Beyond music circles, SZA’s name trended across social media due to a fan interaction that went from heartwarming to headline-making. In late September, a TikTok user dedicated her nursing degree to SZA, stating that the singer’s music provided the strength needed to finish college. BET and Hot 97 reported that SZA personally reposted the graduation photos with her own congratulations, a move that cemented her reputation for inspiring her listeners far beyond chart metrics.

But it hasn't all been roses. At a recent meet and greet outside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, SZA abruptly left after being struck in the face by a fan’s bracelet—a now-viral moment across TikTok and Twitter. While the incident sparked outrage and debate about fan behavior, SZA deescalated the situation by addressing her Instagram followers, saying she held no grudges since the fan hadn’t realized what had happened and emphasizing she was unharmed. AOL and BuzzFeed covered both the incident and her quick, gracious response.

All this happens as SZA continues the blockbuster Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar—a tour Billboard reports shattered records for the largest co-headlined outing in Boxscore history, raking in over 256 million dollars and more than a million tickets sold. Major headlines continue to amplify her influence, whether that’s for chart history, authentic fan connection, or memorable moments at the center of pop’s biggest stages. For SZA, every week seems to mark another chapter in the ongoing story of her stardom.

SZA
SZA's Mariah Carey Tease, AI Stance, and Not Beauty Launch | Pop Culture Roundup
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has dominated headlines this week with a flurry of major stories that have the music world buzzing. The most significant development is her much-discussed interaction with Mariah Carey. On September 20, SZA sent Carey a striking bouquet of pink roses and a touching handwritten note posted to both their Instagram Stories, expressing deep gratitude and admiration for Carey’s influence on her artistry. Carey responded with flowers of her own, along with a mysterious note saying “9.24.25 See you soon,” a cryptic tease that has ignited enormous fan speculation. According to Hot 97, social media jumped on this as a hint at either an imminent collaboration, a surprise performance, a new remix, or possibly even a one-night extravaganza tied to Carey’s anticipated Here for it All album release on September 26. While neither artist has confirmed a track together, the timing and mutual online affection have left fans eager for a musical crossover.

Meanwhile, SZA has kept her own name buzzing by taking a very public stand against artificial intelligence. As reported by Hollywood Unlocked and the Hindustan Times, she has used her Instagram Stories to blast the rise of AI-generated music and photos, directly addressing her fans and pleading with them to stop making fake AI pictures of her or using her voice for synthetic songs. She warned that such endeavors not only devalue artists but also cause environmental harm, bringing attention to the pollution caused by massive AI data centers. Her comments went viral and sparked wider debate after news broke that AI artist Xania Monet had signed a reported three million dollar record deal, an event SZA sharply criticized as “devaluing our music” and potentially disrespectful to marginalized artists in R&B. The conversation was amplified as other artists like Kehlani and Chloe Bailey joined the chorus opposing AI in creative spaces.

In business news, SZA unveiled her first beauty brand, Not Beauty, with a personal and practical edge. Through AOL and numerous style outlets, she introduced a line of hydrating lip glosses designed to last “as long as my show,” emphasizing quality and eco-aware packaging inspired by nature. SZA positioned Not Beauty not as a typical celebrity cash-in, but as a solution to a real need she felt was missing in the industry, sharing her excitement and confidence in the brand.

On the awards circuit, SZA was notably absent from the 2025 MTV VMAs despite being nominated for Best R&B Song and Best Collaboration, losing to Mariah Carey and to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. AOL reports she broke her silence after the event with an Instagram post about peace, offering candid reflections in her recent Interview magazine chat with Chappell Roan on curiosity, spirituality, and always feeling like the underdog.

To sum up, SZA’s week has been a whirlwind of rumored major collaborations, bold cultural commentary, entrepreneurial moves, and self-reflection—keeping her front and center not only in music but also in pop culture at large.

SZA
SZA's AI Outcry and Mariah Carey Collab Rumors: Shaping Her Legacy
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the last few days SZA has been the center of two major developments that could impact her legacy for years to come. First, her outspoken campaign against artificial intelligence swept across social media after she blasted both fans and industry insiders for using AI to create fake photos and songs with her likeness. SZA’s Instagram Stories and public comments were direct and urgent. “I hate AI,” she wrote, imploring followers not to use her voice or image for digital manipulations. She even warned that AI energy centers are harming real communities through pollution, adding, “A stupid photo is not worth polluting and harming under served communities.” Her frustration boiled over amid reports from Billboard that AI R&B artist Xania Monet had signed a three million dollar record deal with Hallwood Media, using tech to climb the charts in a genre built by and for Black women artists. SZA’s stance, echoed by peers like Kehlani and Chlöe, drew wide coverage in outlets ranging from Hollywood Unlocked to Hindustan Times, with SZA spotlighting environmental dangers and industry devaluation and ultimately urging that human artistry not be traded for “digital clones.”

The second headline grabbing moment is a rumored collaboration with Mariah Carey, ignited when Carey praised SZA during a Mafiathon 3 livestream with Kai Cenat and shared a photo of pink roses sent to her by SZA on Instagram. SZA’s handwritten note thanked Carey for her influence and support, promising to meet soon and expressing excitement for Carey’s next album. Carey followed up by sending SZA white orchids and a mysterious note reading “9.24.25. See you soon… XX MC.” Fans and journalists at outlets like HOT 97 and Kiss 95.1 are buzzing over whether this means a remix, a joint song, or a major public appearance linked to Carey’s album release on September 26. Speculation is rampant but unconfirmed as SZA’s name does not yet appear on the official tracklist, though industry-watchers believe even a guest spot or performance alongside Carey could be career-defining given the older artist’s prodigious impact on R&B.

On the music scene SZA continues her co-headlining Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar—most recently drawing headlines for her surprise Los Angeles performance when she brought Lizzo on stage for a duet version of Lizzo’s track “Special,” with the pair posting about their “energy and positivity” on Instagram according to reports from People. SZA’s fan community remains highly active, dissecting every Instagram story, concert surprise, and cryptic flower exchange for clues about what comes next. There is expectation that her business activities will expand, particularly given how assertively she is shaping the narrative around artistry and AI.

No significant negative news or scandals have surfaced in major outlets. All speculation regarding Mariah Carey remains just that unless either star confirms a collaboration. In sum SZA is having a moment—using her voice to steer industry ethics on technology, possibly forming new creative alliances, and electrifying audiences on tour.

SZA
SZA's Blockbuster Week: Super Bowl, Bieber Duet, AMAs, and Beyond
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has had a blockbuster week marked by career milestones and viral cultural moments that underscore why her star power continues to climb. The biggest headline is her newly-confirmed role as the special guest performer alongside Kendrick Lamar for the 2025 Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, revealed in a much-buzzed-about Apple Music trailer. Industry insiders are already calling this booking a career-defining move for SZA, one that places her at the very top tier of pop performance history according to AOL. The hype for her and Lamar’s co-headlining Grand National Tour, which just hit US stadiums, only magnifies, as fans and critics align around the idea that these shows will serve as a defining statement for two of music’s most important voices in their generation.

The Los Angeles stop of the tour delivered headline-making surprises when Justin Bieber joined SZA on stage. According to Just Jared, it was a rare live appearance for Bieber, who shook off a swirl of recent online rumors to duet their hit Snooze, set social media ablaze, and got a public endorsement from his wife Hailey in her Instagram stories. TMZ and Deadline painted the moment as not just a concert highlight but a vital pop culture crossroads.

SZA also made waves at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas, as reported by IMDb. She skipped the red carpet, but owned the night with multiple trips to the stage, collecting awards for Favorite R&B Song for Saturn and Favorite Female R&B Artist. She is still a frontrunner for Artist of the Year. SZA’s wardrobe choice, complete with daring bedazzled pasties, triggered an avalanche of coverage across fashion blogs and social feeds, further solidifying her status as a style trailblazer as well as a musical powerhouse.

Business-wise, SZA hinted at a major pivot. In statements captured by People, she revealed she plans to fulfill the final two albums left on her contract—likely featuring a genre shift into peaceful children’s music—before stepping back to take on farming and charitable efforts benefiting underserved communities. Whether this is a definitive exit plan or a creative detour remains speculative, but industry observers believe that any such seismic shift by SZA would carry long-term ripples for both the music and philanthropic worlds.

She continues to keep her finger on the pulse of global pop, as her recent Instagram comment lauding BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s solo song Seoul City quickly ignited fan demands for a collaboration, according to PopBase. On the festival circuit, SZA was confirmed as a headliner for Coachella 2025 by NBC Palm Springs, further cementing her influence on both sides of the Atlantic.

In summary, SZA’s last few days have seen landmark public appearances, viral tour surprises, bold award show wins, and headline festival bookings, all while stirring conversation about both the next chapter of her artistry and her expanding influence in music, fashion, and culture.

SZA's Superstar Trajectory: Collabs, Candor, and Culture-Shifting Influence
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has been everywhere these past few days rewriting her own next chapter as a living headline. Fans and the music industry are still buzzing after SZA stunned everyone with a sharp comment under Bibi Bourelly’s Instagram post for BLACKPINK JENNIE’s “Seoul City” – SZA simply said This hard af and triggered a storm of excitement about a possible collaboration between the two. PopBase and countless fans declared the crossover a dream, with her three-word co-sign quickly hailed as the stamp of approval for JENNIE’s debut solo album Ruby. Social media exploded with calls for an SZA and JENNIE linkup and fans streaming Seoul City on the strength of her blessing alone, cementing the artist’s position as a trend-setting tastemaker according to Sportskeeda.

But she is not just cosigning – SZA’s own narrative is taking center stage in a very public way. Just this past Friday, she sat down with Jennifer Hudson on national TV, reflecting on the advice she got from Kendrick Lamar ahead of their highly anticipated Grand National Tour. She described joining Kendrick at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime as the best 30 seconds of her life and shared that Lamar pushed her to visualize her performances from above, a trick that’s helped her transform her stage presence. Hudson pressed her on the ever-swirling rumors of a collaboration with Taylor Swift. SZA openly admitted she’s talked with Swift about writing together saying she loves Taylor’s storytelling and that the pop superstar seemed very open to it. According to AOL, SZA called Swift so bossed up and didn’t rule out working side by side soon.

On the business front the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar kicks off April 19 in Minneapolis and is already shaping up as one of the year’s biggest live events with dates in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto, and more before wrapping in D.C. in June. The LA date just made even bigger waves when SZA brought Lizzo onstage at SoFi Stadium to perform their remix of Special. According to PEOPLE, Lizzo gushed My first stadium performance I love you SZA you are THEE DIVA on Instagram after the electrifying surprise.

Elsewhere, SZA’s profound openness about mental health continues to resonate. She spoke about her struggles with anxiety during a new Community Voices episode for Mental Health Awareness Month, describing the pressures of fame as “dehumanizing” and admitting she sometimes fantasizes about leaving it all to be a farmer. Her candor only deepens the fandom’s loyalty, making every move she makes land with even more impact, as highlighted by xoNecole.

Heads up, fans: recent rumors swirling about an SZA feature on Cardi B’s new album are not confirmed. Billboard revealed Cardi herself said SZA did not send in her verse, so no collab there just yet.

From stealing the show at the Grammys in a striking pink dress to setting tour plans ablaze and proving her influence on social platforms, SZA’s current moment is not just newsworthy—it feels biographically meaningful as she continues to shape music and culture in real time.

SZA's Unstoppable Rise: Commanding the Stage, Beauty, and Beyond
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has commanded headlines this week for both her artistic achievements and offstage moments. On Wednesday, viral TikTok footage showed her storming off after being hit in the face by a bracelet at a meet and greet outside State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Fans and media outlets quickly condemned the incident as another example of the troubling trend of audiences hurling objects at performers. Despite the immediate shock, SZA later took to Instagram to reassure her 23 million followers that she held no anger toward the fan, explaining that the individual didn’t realize they had hit her and that she wasn’t hurt. The outpouring of support online only reinforced her image as both approachable and unshakable.

SZA’s business ambitions were another major story with the official launch of her beauty brand Not Beauty. According to a press release and major coverage in People and AOL, the line debuted with a non-sticky, long-lasting hydrating lip gloss available in three shades for $23, boasting nature-inspired packaging. SZA emphasized that this was less about entering the beauty industry and more a personal solution—she wanted products that survived the rigors of touring and long days. She described herself as a novice in beauty but “knows a lot about lips” and hopes the products deliver for others as they have for her.

On the music front, SZA’s visibility remains sky-high. She spent this week opening for Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour, a 19-city stadium run that’s been selling out across the country—as confirmed by the latest SeatGeek and tour reports. Likewise, speculation and excitement swirl after her confirmed appearance at February’s upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Lamar, their joint history making this appearance particularly anticipated. New music also remains a focus, with her collaboration “Luther” with Kendrick Lamar and her own “Drive” both nominated at the 2025 MTV VMAs—though she skipped the ceremony, later posting about choosing peace and reflection on Instagram.

In interviews, SZA continues to captivate. Her June conversation with Chappell Roan in Interview magazine delved into her creative process, spirituality, and lingering sense of being an underdog despite headline-making success, revealing personal philosophies fueling her drive.

Socially, she was widely praised for publicly supporting Lizzo amidst ongoing lawsuits, calling her friend a “master healer” in New York magazine and decrying the speed at which the public turned on Lizzo. This show of loyalty and emotional intelligence was amplified by their recent onstage appearance together.

Financially and structurally, SZA’s moves continue to expand her empire, from highly lucrative touring and record-breaking business deals to a prolific run of cross-industry collaborations. Through setbacks and triumphs, SZA’s presence this week remained thoroughly inescapable, her cultural and business impact growing hour by hour.

SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Rolling headlines and trending stories have given SZA a spotlight few could miss in the past several days. Social media detectives have been in a frenzy after fans noticed what looked like SZA in Shaboozey’s latest Instagram photo dump, with a short video clip of a woman with her back turned in an outfit strikingly similar to SZA’s recent posts. While The Shade Room collected tweets and X posts with fans shipping the two as a couple, neither SZA nor Shaboozey have confirmed the rumors—some speculate it could just be a creative collaboration or music video shoot.

Meanwhile, SZA recently wrapped her leg of Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour in Sweden, sharing on Instagram that the experience felt like her childhood dreams realized, thanking Kendrick and the tour crew for what she called a once in a lifetime experience. The Grand National Tour remains a highlight, with SZA and Kendrick continuing their UK run into July, hitting massive venues from Glasgow’s Hampden Park to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Musically, SZA’s duet with Kendrick, Luther, continues its chart-topping domination, cracking Billboard’s Top 5 Summer Songs of 2025 and breaking records with a 13 week Hot 100 reign. This achievement also set a record for the longest charting duet by a solo male and solo female artist, signaling a major career milestone likely to live in biographical retrospectives for years to come.

Major headlines surrounded SZA’s appearance at the American Music Awards on May 26 in Las Vegas, where she skipped the red carpet but claimed both Favorite R&B Song for Saturn and Favorite Female R&B Artist. Her eccentric awards night fashion—think bedazzled pasties paired with a dramatic speech—lit up social feeds and extended her winning streak during a year when her career and style both seem to be peaking.

Pop culture buzz kept building as Justin Bieber, fresh off his own controversies, made a surprise live cameo with SZA at the Los Angeles stop of the Grand National Tour, performing their hit Snooze and igniting massive online chatter and influencer recaps.

On social platforms, SZA continues to trend on Instagram Reels, with her tracks fueling viral soundtracks and hundreds of thousands of users jumping on the latest edits and transitions.

SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the past week SZA has been the subject of headlines and speculation, commanding both music news and social media chatter. Fans were thrilled by her surprise appearance at Cyndi Lauper’s farewell concert in Los Angeles, where SZA joined a star-studded lineup including Joni Mitchell, John Legend, and Cher for an epic send-off. According to IMDb and Z1071FM, she contributed vocals on Lauper’s classic True Colors, marking a rare moment where so many music icons shared the stage, and SZA’s involvement was highlighted in mainstream coverage.

On the charts, SZA’s collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, “Luther,” continues to dominate the Billboard Hot 100—this week, Billboard officially ranked it as the No. 5 summer song of 2025. The single broke multiple records, including a 13-week run atop the Hot 100, making SZA and Lamar the first male-female duo to top it for more than eleven weeks. This achievement is being widely discussed in music industry columns, with outlets like HotNewHipHop emphasizing SZA’s pivotal role in one of the year’s most influential releases.

Turning to online speculation, fans lit up X and Instagram after country-trap musician Shaboozey posted a video that many—from ShinemyCrown to celebrity gossip blogs—claimed included SZA herself, sparking rumors of a budding romance. Clues such as matching outfits and suggestive comments have fans convinced this could be a “soft launch” of a new couple, though some voices urge caution, reminding us that both stars are prominent musicians perhaps simply collaborating creatively. No public confirmation has come from either SZA or Shaboozey, keeping the rumor mill spinning.

On the business side, SZA’s Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar remains a blockbuster, driving merchandise including her Not Beauty lip collection, available exclusively at tour pop-ups. This entrepreneurial streak gets frequent mentions in fashion columns and was spotlighted again as she was announced artistic director for Vans, previewing joint collections for the coming months.

Social media remains a major platform for SZA. Her main Instagram account, @sza, surpassed 23 million followers; HypeAuditor reports engagement rates over 2.5 percent in September, tracking her influence among top-tier creators. Clips of SZA in the studio with Lizzo, first circulated by Just Jared and then picked up by fan accounts, fueled excitement around a possible collab for Lizzo’s upcoming album—though neither artist has confirmed details, and music outlets remain focused on the speculation.

Finally, SZA’s fans are emboldened, as Bold.org recently launched the “SZA Fan Scholarship,” encouraging the next generation to pursue music. All told, SZA’s mix of high-profile collaborations, headline-making public appearances, and consistent chart performance continues to solidify her as one of 2025’s defining stars, with every move dissected online and in the press—while speculation about her personal life only adds to her legendary aura.
