[@bxkid199]

Ugh I love these interviews where the person interviewing her genuinely is a fan cause it give her a change to be transparent, vulnerable, and speak her mind. Her thought process is like mine and makes me feel less crazy that people have this worrying thought process in my head.

Wauwww her afro is magical 😍😍😍

[@bluekoolaid9519]

Can we talk bout how she is a real fairy and her hair is just beautiful

[@purplediamondify]

❤SZA having Anixety seeing her take time in the process. But also having the confidence to stand her ground and tell people who were being nasty to her about talking her time. Its not all about the rush to the destination when you're ready emotionally and mentally projects tend to come out better 😌.

[@mandarins_9194]

People forget artist are not robots. Artist create based off emotion and it takes time to create and pour out exactly what it is their feeling. I love that she does not over saturate the market. Anticipation has time to build and so does appreciation for what she does :) love that

Sza is incredible, an actual goddess for real. Her vibe and music hits different and couldn’t agree more with what Zane said about her timing just making sense.
