SZA has had enough. In December, she dropped her highly anticipated project, SOS Deluxe: Lana, which instantly resonated with fans, dominating the charts and leaving everyone eager for more. To their excitement, SZA promised additional updates to the album would arrive in early January. However, the updates have yet to materialize, leading some fans to express their frustration about the delay on social media.
On X earlier this week, SZA addressed the delay chatter with a tweet: “Punch was right,” referring to her TDE president, who responded with the eyes emoji. She elaborated, “U been told me stop sharing snippets and tea .. thought I was on to something . I’m clear now.”
One fan accused her of being “unprofessional,” sarcastically pointing out, “Wow it’s almost like you announced something and ignored it for 11 days.” SZA clapped back, “Cause sample clearances always happen within the preferred time frame lmao? I shoulda NEVER tried to give yall what u asked for. It wasn’t professional. It was KINDNESS AND A WILLINGNESS TO APPEASE u lunatics.”
When the fan doubled down, SZA didn’t hold back. “Yea atp you gotta just go to hell. I don’t work for you baby. All I can do is my best. Take care.” Another fan wondered if the backlash might lead her to delete her X account entirely. SZA dismissed the idea, saying, “NEVER THAT. N****s not bullying me. I don’t work for anyone but myself and God. I give so much to my fans energetically in person and online. If n****s wanna act DISGUSTING that’s on them.”
As for the criticism about announcing a release date prematurely, SZA wrapped up her comments with, “Apologies I’ve reached my maximum entertainment of complaints for the day. Pls try again during business hours tomorrow.”
