AceShowbiz - Grammy-winning artist SZA recently appeared on First We Feast's "Hot Ones", opening up about her career, personal life, and much more, all while donning an amusing bug costume, complete with antennae. "I'm just tired of being not a bug," she quipped, explaining her unique outfit choice to host Sean Evans.
Diving into her music, SZA revealed the most emotionally charged songs for her to perform. " 'Nobody Gets Me' because my ex-fiance hates me so much, and it's so unfortunate," she shared candidly. "Every time I sing it, it's like, 'Damn, what the f**k?' "
She also mentioned other tracks from her acclaimed album "Ctrl", such as "Normal Girl," "20 Something," and "Drew Barrymore," noting that the latter evokes memories of seeing "the boy you like … f**kin' on some other girl" at a party
SZA did previously open up about how her tumultuous relationship with her ex has deeply influenced her music.
Discussing her career, the songstress did not hold back on her frustrations with the unpredictable nature of the music industry. Recalling her ambivalence about the success of her hit "Kill Bill", she stated, "I never know what's happening. I be like, 'I thought you liked this.' Then they're like, 'No, stupid, we hate this.' "
SZA categorized her experience as both "abusive" and "very fulfilling and validating." She added, "The toxic [relationships] are the most fun."
As the conversation wound down amid increasingly spicy wing challenges, SZA offered a brief update on her personal life. "I'm going through a breakup, it's hot as f**k," she admitted, leaving fans curious about her current romantic status.
SZA's appearance on "Hot Ones" comes ahead of her highly anticipated third album, "Lana". This record follows her critically acclaimed sophomore album "SOS", which dominated the Billboard 200 for ten weeks.
