SZA has discussed the impact the spotlight and pressures placed upon her as an artist have on her mental health, during an interview as part of the Community Voices series for Mental Health Awareness Month.During the 100th episode of the series, SZA discussed the toxic nature of social media. Specifically referencing online trolls, she said it was difficult when negative comments matched up to her own insecurities.“It’s weird sometimes, when your personal thoughts and feelings align with some of the things people say about you,” she said.

SZA has deleted her TikTok account for Mental Health Awareness Month after posting a series of tweets highlighting the horrible treatment she’s received at the hands of internet trolls.Last weekend, the TDE singer was one of the many artists in attendance at this year’s Met Gala at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.However, a number of fans have since taken to social media to call SZA out for attending the charity event, recalling a tweet she posted last month: “Not going to any more award shows or events til my album out.”The follow-up to SZA’s 2017 debut album ‘CTRL’ is still yet to arrive, although she did tell Vogue (via Hypebeast) on the red carpet at the Met Gala that her new LP is “ready to go, more than I’ve ever felt before”, adding that “this summer, it’ll be like a… it’ll be a SZA Summer.”This wasn’t enough for fans, though, who gave the singer-songwriter a hard time about her decision to go to the Met Gala given that her new album hasn’t been released.“I swear to God if I didn’t accidentally fall in love w music .. I would NEVER EVER COME OUTSIDE,” SZA tweeted in response yesterday (May 4).“Ya’ll suck the joy and life out of EVERYTHING.

When SZA hit the red carpet at Sunday's Grammys she was sporting an unlikely accessory with her gown: a pair of crutches. She told reporters she had fallen out of bed the day before the ceremony and was struggling to walk.

Doja Cat and SZA won the Best Pop Duo Performance Award at the 2022 Grammys. They beat out "Butter" by BTS, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga, ("I Get a Kick Out of You"), Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco ("Lonely"), and BTS ("Butter"), but if there were any hard feelings in the room, they evaporated when Doja and SZA took the stage to accept the prize.

“I always loved SZA, I listened to her when I was in…11th grade, 10th grade,” Doja Cat said of her adoration of her collaborator in an interview with Sirius XM. “I was just always playing her music.” She then talked about her decision to reach out, saying “I was like, ‘This song is just too perfect, like I can’t not have her on this.’ For her, it felt like a good pop track to have her on.”SZA is currently preparing for the release of her new album, the follow up to 2017’s ‘Ctrl.’ Neither the title or release date have been revealed.

GRAMMYs seemed to be full of surprises when it came to some of the night's big winners. At least, a few victories seemed to take the actual winners by surprise.Before Jon Batiste won Album of the Year and reacted with absolute shock and confusion, it was Doja Cat who was apparently caught off-guard when she and SZA won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, for their song «Kiss Me More.»SZA surprised everyone by managing to get up the GRAMMY stage safely despite walking with crutches and incredibly high heels — and got a sweet assist with her super long train from Lady Gaga.By the time she got up there, Doja Cat was just rushing over from the back of the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and SZA laughingly joked, «Girl, you went to the bathroom for like five minutes, are you serious?”As it turns out, Doja Cat had taken the first chance she got to use the bathroom, and it just so happened to be when her category was about to be announced.»Listen, I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life," Doja Cat said, still trying to catch her breath, as the audience exploded with laughter.

Doja Cat nearly missed accepting her 2022 Grammy Award, making it back right on time to receive the statue for the Best Pop Duo/ Group Performance for “Kiss Me More.”“I’ve never taken such a fast p— in my whole life,” Doja Cat said between heaving breaths, after sprinting to the stage in heels.She urged her co-creator on the track SZA, who limped to the stage on crutches and received a much needed gown assist from Lady Gaga, “to say something, give them something,” before handing over the microphone.The 32-year-old “Good Days” singer, who is up for Best R&B Song for the track joked “I am glad you made it back in time,” after thanking her family and God.“I like to downplay s–t,” Doja Cat, 26, said as she began to tear up, overcome with emotions. “But this? It’s a big deal.”“Thank you everybody,” the “Woman” singer continued before stepping off the stage in grateful shock.

SZA has shared that she will make her acting debut on a forthcoming project, details of which have yet to be announced.The R&B star told fans about the new development in her career in a recent post on her Instagram Story.“Can’t believe I got the part I wanted,” SZA wrote. “She’s an actress.” The post also included a cake that had been gifted to her that read: “Congrats record breaker and fire actress.”Hot New Hip-Hop reports that the musician later added: “Lmao thank y’all! And before y’all start somebody BOUGHT me this cake.

SZA has shared new song "I Hate U." Fans will know the song as one of three tracks she put out on SoundCloud earlier this year (under the slightly different title "I Hate You") but as of today the track is available wherever you stream music. The song is a typically candid moment from the R&B singer, including the line: "Missionary gettin' boring, can you switch positions?" This year SZA has appeared on "Kiss Me More" with Doja Cat as well as contibuting vocals to new songs from James Blake, Isiah Rashad, Summer Walker, and more.
