SZA Opens Up About Her BBL, ‘SOS Tour,’ & the “Fickle” Nature of Fame

Published: Thursday 1st Jun 2023 by Sam

SZA waxes all sorts of candid in a new feature spread for ELLE Magazine.

The ‘Kill Bill’ chart-topper is presently wowing audiences with her ‘SOS Tour’ and, while she’s filled with gratitude, she has her feet firmly planted on the ground when it comes to her own rationalization of her ongoing season of success.

Beyond opening up about that, the GRAMMY winner also didn’t hold back when the topic of her Brazilian Butt Lift was broached.

On the intro to the ‘SOS’ album, he quirkily quips: “that a** so fat, it look natural… it’s not.”

Now, she’s expanding on the matter.

Head below for pics and quotes…

On the Fickle Nature of Fame:

“It’s all really fickle….Had the first three shows of my tour gone poorly, would the rest of my dates have been sold out? Would those people be outside waiting in line by the time we got to L.A.? No. All it takes is, what, three poorly shot TikTok videos to basically decide that this tour is not worth coming to see. I know that people don’t love me because love is really unconditional, and I’m one scandal away from being canceled indefinitely like anyone else. I’m grateful that they like my art and that it speaks to them, and it connects and tethers all of us together in this weird way. It’s dope, but it’s also still a string that could be cut at any moment. Literally, sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to it. Remember Susan Boyle? Like, what if I’m Susan Boyle?!”

On Her BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift):

“I treat my butt like a purse. It’s just there to enhance whatever else. And that’s why I paid for it, because it works all by itself.

I always wanted a really fat a** with less gym time. I didn’t succumb to industry pressure. I succumbed to my own eyes in the mirror and being like, No, I need some more a**.”

On Wanting Respect More Than Popularity:

“I try not to care too much because I really had some deep disappointments when I would just be so invested. But I can’t invest because none of it is real. Even if I win a bunch of Grammys, that sh*t doesn’t matter. It would be so cool. But also I would not be surprised at all if I didn’t win any [more]. Because that’s just how sh*t goes. But that’s why the tour matters to me. ‘Cause it’s like, No, we packed out these stadiums all over the country and that was real. That’s why I can’t let up, because at the end of the day it was like, yeah, [whatever haters say] is good and well, but just make sure you add, we have sold-out dates in all arenas. Make sure you tell them that we sold out the Forum twice and we could have done it four times. Make sure you tell them that I was in the air, and that my mic was on.”

    She is just not believable. From the Marine Biology Degree, not eating fruits and veggies, to never owning a TV. I like some of the Sza songs but girl you be lying…

    • SZA’s lies June 1, 2023

      Don’t forget the freckles….lol

      • Clarks0o00ñ June 1, 2023

        Those poorly drawn freckles on her face
        😂😂😂
        I remember that era.

        Sza loves lying.

        Lol how is freckles lies. Like so many people do this. I don’t think it’s just her.
        Anyway, I’m glad she’s staying humble and is realistic. I wish Doja was a bit more like this.

      • SZA’s lies June 1, 2023

        It’s a lie because she said they were real lmao

    • RBRT June 1, 2023

      Hmmm maybe they naturally went away 😬

    She is absolutely correct….ppl don’t LOVE her. She is popular right now, so most ppl will support for this very reason.

    Yes when you make mistakes and ppl have forgiveness OR hold you down still….that’s when you have truly made it.

    She’s one of the few who actually recognizes real value. For years ppl have been “stunting” fancy cars and jewelry thinking ppl actually LOVED them.

    When actuality ppl couldn’t wait for you to mess up, so they could drag the f*ck outta you endlessly.

  5. DaAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa June 1, 2023

    Can she poo with that ass?

    • Party in my holessssssssss June 1, 2023

      Interesting question for Nicki, Cardi or maybe Iggy too

  6. Kanye June 1, 2023

    Say what you want about SZA but she’s slaying right now by being her cooky authentic self.
