AceShowbiz - SZA has made it clear that she didn't appreciate when fans throw something at her during concerts. The "Kill Bill" hitmaker gave her fans an ultimatum when she stopped by Melbourne, Australia for her "SOS Tour" on May 2.
After concluding the concert at the Rod Laver Arena, SZA showed generosity by staying on the stage for about 45 minutes to give fans her autograph at objects thrown at her onstage. However, the sweet post-concert moment soon was ruined when fans threw cell phones at her.
Threatening to leave, SZA said, "I will leave. Do not throw us any cell phones. I'm a person… That's crazy."
The chaos came after the singer clarified her recent comments in a new interview, where she said she didn't want to be labeled as an "R&B" artist. "I just wanna be free to create anything!" the 34-year-old explained.
She then added, "you can look at songs like : Julia ,f2f,drew Barrymore ,prom nobody gets me kill bill, ghost in the machine ,HII Jack, green mile, shattered ring, omega and my entire first two projects before Z, none of those are rnb."
"Whoever connects to the music connects! it's okay to be more than one thing lol," the singer, whose real name is Solana Imani Rowe, continued. "It's also okay if all you know from me the weekend and snooze. I'm grateful regardless [red heart emoji]call it whatever u want."
Previously, SZA told Dazed that "the only reason I'm defined as an R&B artist is because I'm Black." She continued, "It's almost a little reductive because it doesn't allow space to be anything else or try anything else."
The "Snooze" singer then pointed out how Justin Bieber "is not considered an R&B artist; he is a pop artist who makes R&B, folk music, or whatever his heart desires." She went on to note, "I simply just want to be allowed the same opportunity to make whatever I want without a label, [without it being] based on the color of my skin, or the crew that I run with, or the beats that I choose."
"I want 'F2F' to be seen as what it is. I want 'Nobody Gets Me' to be seen as what it is. I want 'Kill Bill' to be seen as what it is," she divulged.
