SZA Addresses Offensive Claims Shes Had Facial Surgery
SZA has been open about getting a BBL in the past, but the singer has said she’s never touched her face – and she finds rumors to the contrary offensive.
The New Jersey native finally addressed the long-standing rumors in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, published on Monday (October 30). Along with facial surgery, fans have speculated she lied about having freckles, that her teeth are fake and the list goes on.

“That shit is low-key offensive. Not low-key, it’s high-key offensive,” she said. “But what am I supposed to do? Post a debunking thread? That’s crazy. You would rather believe the TikTok thread. You would rather believe whatever Twitter thread; you could just google yourself and figure out.”
She continued: “There’s clear instances when I talked about my freckles. I heard I had a facelift, I heard I had a nose job, I heard my teeth were fake. Now do I need to go out and get a nose job because you all made me feel like I need one?”

Elsewhere in the conversation, SZA got vulnerable about how her insecurities briefly led her to think that Drake was sabotaging her amid their recent collab, “Slime You Out.”
According to the “Kill Bill” singer, she initially sent Drake a demo recording of her part on the song, intending to re-record it for the finished product — but that’s not what happened. Even after she sent a second, more polished version, Drake chose to use her initial demo vocals on the final release.

“I just handed in the first draft to Drake, and he’s putting it on his album,” she said to the outlet. “I’m scared because I handed in second vocals and he didn’t use that. And now I’m like, ‘Are you trying to sabotage me?’ I know that’s not true. I literally know that’s not true, but that’s how bad I feel about my first draft. When things come from an effortless space, I almost can’t enjoy it.”
The pair’s first official collaboration came complete with all sorts of chatter in the blogosphere, including a roasting from Charlamagne Tha God, and talk about them working together after being briefly romantically linked more than a decade prior. It was a relationship Drake revealed in 2020 in his verse on 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s “Mr. Right Now.”

In a profile for Rolling Stone published earlier this month, the 33-year-old singer clarified that she and Drake “were really young” and that “it wasn’t hot and heavy or anything. It was like youth vibes. It was so childish.”
The topic of the pair dating was all over social media when Drake first dropped the bombshell – partially due to the fact the New Jersey singer could have been underage, based on the timeline Drizzy provided in the song.

“Yeah, said she wanna fuck to some SZA, wait/ ‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08/ If you cool with it, baby, she can still play,” the Toronto native rhymes.
The TDE singer subsequently took to Twitter to confirm their past relationship, and to clarify that she was indeed an adult when it happened.

“So it was actually 2009 lol,” she wrote. “In this case a year of poetic rap license mattered. Lol I think he jus innocently rhymed 08 w wait. Anybody who really knows me and was around during this time can confirm.. it’s all love all peace.”
She added: “I just didn’t want anybody thinking anything underage or creepy was happening. Completely innocent. Lifetimes ago.”
