Why SZA Feels Like She Wasn’t Meant to Be Famous: ‘It’s So WEIRD’ (Exclusive)

keke is giving You betta Lay Low whitney in that whole outfit.

She is 😂😂😂 she really is lmaoooo

She looks gorgeous

Really 😂

[@fuezike]

This is what I was just thinking

[@ibby8198]

that interviewer has such good energy

[@Centimilli]

It dooooes.. the beeeeest I've ever seen!!!! ❤ and im 35 😮

[@Thinkerbella101]

Yes! I didn’t want the interview to end

[@Kai-cl3ps]

And hes so hot too 🙈

[@AdinaTeMusic]

Keke is so well spoken, funny, sharp, quick and just a great improviser. She has the IT factor all around! SZA is so humble, and modest and nerdy I love it Issa Rae is very intentional, talented, and on her way to being one of the GOAT!

[@posheditor]

love this !! spot on fr 🎯

[@kaylachung12]

I love how SZA talks. Like she really is just a famous nerd and I love everything about it. Lol

[@charityragin]

Yes she sounds like she reads a lot.

[@walkingolga6235]

i like SZA’s music a lot but she kind of comes across as someone who uses big words to sound smart. lol like “people in my super internal nucleus” which isn’t even a thing? and keke’s response “i’m not your internal nucleus, got it 😂” idk she’s cute though

[@Keliam888]

Yeah I love her 😂 looks how’s is she talking and interacting hahaha so cute ❤

[@Slickrick222]

@@walkingolga6235 Hmmm so define intelligence or smartness for me. I’m being super non confrontational when I say this but there are so many facets and dimension to intelligence and so many different ways you can be ‘smart’ in my opinion, I think she uses big words for grandeur and whimsy rather than attempting to ‘sound smart’ cause well… given her track record she doesn’t seem stupid, nor do I believe she is insecure about being perceived as dumb at this point in her career. Just to play devils advocate tho. That’s just my opinion also. You could be correct but it just didn’t resonate 🥲😭

3 brown skin women at the forefront of a movie is iconic. On camera and behind the scenes. Haven't seen this or felt this energy since Baps and Waiting to Exhale. Speaking of which.....Keke will always resemble a young Whitney Houston in my eyes.

[@Q.T-T]

Stop this "brownskin" nonsense, these are beautiful dark-skinned black women, brown skins are Indians and Mexicans.. Your skin is considered black and that is OK.

[@LoveCharlixo]

Ugh every interview with this trio feels like girl talk. I love them😫

[@avokaiti]

as an introvert who loves being adopted by an extrovert and just feeling a huge pressure lifted off of me, I felt that SZA lol can't wait to watch this! love Keke too

[@angelicaterry3367]

not just any extrovert tho, a considerate and thoughtful one.

[@BurdofSin]

Same, we all need those kind hearted extroverts 🫶🏼💕

[@tinyaustralian8070]

this interviewer is great, lovely energy

[@Onimole]

I kept thinking that too. I said “wow, I love how easily he was able to slide in immediately after they answered the questions!”

[@AlexysLamkin]

SZA looks so comfortable with Issa and Keke, and I absolutely love that for her ❤️ The “Industry” has been very mean to her, but I’m so glad to see more of her personality the more comfortable she gets.

[@mzansialerts2474]

Yea it's giving introvert like me

[@mzansialerts2474]

Sza referring to feeling like you're in danger being scrutinized by all these people. So relatable even as a normal human.

[@daniiphantom777]

shit she was being scrutinized by issa right there. it was very subtle but shady enough. if u read my comment on this video i peeped everything.

[@EJSmiles96]

“Insulated by beautiful energy” 😮‍💨 That’s a word!

[@dwizzifry5364]

Sza is such a “careful girl” plz someone tell her we literally love her for her she literally made it being her self 🎉❤

[@dallasivory]

THEIR AURAS ARE SO SOOTHING & BEAUTIFUL 🫴🏼✨

[@thesunwillcomeout2morrow]

Keke and the interviewer are right what we love about SZA is the fact that she was a normal person who became famous

[@olive-yello]

Right, I hate when people say "This is what they signed up for" as if they deserve harassment, lack of privacy, etc. SZA is just making music. I don't think any person who becomes famous EXPECTS harassment, paranoia, etc. They shouldn't have to expect that. The general public should just see them as human beings and stop putting them on a pedestal.

[@victoriabenjamin4976]

Keke is giving Whitney with the wig, dress, and chocker. Beautiful

[@Reereeee]

Wig? Just stay here hair

@ReereeeeSTAY HERE HAIR? Toddler remedial English failure. And you can’t read, either? Yes, A WIG. Monosyllabic words. If you wear a wig, you must accept that someone might call it a wig. Otherwise, STFU. Kindly. Thank you.

[@justheretoscroll1333]

This is the comment I came here for.

[@ashleyj7996]

6:44 I felt this double thank you. As her older bday twin, the first thank you was a thank you, the second one was her accepting/receiving/acknowledging the energy

[@kaira504]

Right?!? I felt it too, but went back and rewatched it a few more times after reading this comment. There was a lot behind both of them..... especially that 2nd "thank you."

[@reneelynn3379]

KeKe's look is so Whitney Houston coded and I love it

[@tokiotrev]

i cant wait til sza realizes shes a star

[@sheliaharris9229]

The gag is... SZA is one of the introvert homegirls that makes you just smile to hear her talk, and im here for it. 🎉❤

[@Ruby-kr6fh]

Fame in the modern age is super, super weird. It makes complete sense to me why an artist would be uncomfortable with it.

[@kay-dj3rk]

That was genuinely so beautiful to watch

[@NicolePurvyExperience]

Issa is so brilliant.

[@Belle_Faye]

Isn’t she?❤

[@orincywhytedesigns]

I’m gonna be so honest, I didn’t know much about SZA and now I am a huge fan! She did a fantastic job in this film! Can’t wait to see it again

[@R2ThaY2ThaA]

Me either. I heard some of her music...But I would say these past couple of months Ive really seen her personality.

[@Bbz384]

This was an awesome interview ❤

[@tennekkiii]

This interview had me smiling the entire time! Loooove their energy and look fwd to seeing this in theater ❤

[@e2theoc]

Wow sza is so incredibly real about how she struggles with fame, what a refreshing person to say “hey this is weird, fame is weird and I struggle with strangers analysing me”

[@jamesmarieellison]

SZA needs to play Chaka Khan in a movie.

[@PopCultureKing2009]

Your right they do look alike

[@tennekkiii]

Yesss, SZA as young Chaka and Nicki Minaj when she’s in her prime!!

SZA drifting off while Keke talking lol 😂😂

[@DrewGems]

This is such an amazing dynamic. This is the energy I've been looking for... just in general. I love to see SZA become so much more comfortable with just being. We don't ever really get to see her this way. Issa and Keke are too real for welcoming her into this space as far as film. But I think these 3 together might be one of my favorite groups to watch and I haven't even seen how the movie came out yet. I can watch just them 3 chop it up and kick it together on some regular shit and it would be entertaining. Very expressive women... all in their own unique ways and accepting of each other... and even with the differences in their personalities, it meshes so well together. God bless these ladies' hearts.

[@Sarahosagie]

Keke is definitely one of a kind! Also love seeing this side on SZA

'Insulated by beautiful energy'. Wow vibing off that one!

[@DavidRivera-vk9vd]

Issa & Keke need Sza. This is the perfect trio.

[@CosmicJournee]

I think SZA just overthinks everything, and you can hear it in her albums. It’s like you’re already famous there’s nothing else you have to really do but be yourself. I noticed in the beginning she was staring and just not moving much but after a few jokes from Keke she did relax. I just don’t feel like SZA has the right team around her to feel comfortable, her manager needs to be the first to go. I really want to see her grow and become the icon she’s meant to be but I fear that fame will consume her and she will disappear soon.

[@Alkemiss]

I agree! Shes needs a team that can really pour into her and see her vision not just from a financial/creative standpoint but also mental & emotional. She's a light that must be protected!

[@CosmicJournee]

@@Alkemiss this! She needs someone to keep her grounded and reassured, not a yes man but someone that calms her nerves.

[@naturaloutlaw5399]

Right i think she has a touch of social anxiety as well which i know took alot to step out of her comfort zone to do this press run......i wish her nothing but light and love ❤❤❤​@CosmicJournee

[@daniiphantom777]

she be overthinking but she be right. i picked up shady vibes from issa. that’s why she specifically said she could call KEKE.

[@CosmicJournee]

@@naturaloutlaw5399 yes the social anxiety is clear but she also may have other undiagnosed issues.
