SZA took to social media on Wednesday (Feb. 19) to express her displeasure with media coverage, and to open up about experiencing anxiety in the spotlight.
"Not doing any videos Interviews or photos for the rest of my life lol don’t ask," she tweeted.
In another tweet, SZA mentioned fellow artists Normani and Megan Thee Stallion. "S/o Normani and meg tho . My sisters who I love very much and respect deeply . Honored to be apart of ANYTHING w the two of those BLACK QUEENS."
The R&B star, who's currently at work on her sophomore followup to 2017's Ctrl, also got vulnerable discussing her ongoing struggles with mental health. "My anxiety has .03% to do w outside opinion. I was bullied all through high school I could care less. It’s my OWN THOUGHTS THAT HIT DIFFERENT," she tweeted before clapping back at a fan who questioned why anxiety seemed so prevelant among "new celebs."
"Lmao new ? 'Celebs' been out here dying of addiction and depression for DECADES," SZA then fired off. "Be glad Ppl are TALKING to eachother and sharing rather than hiding. Also errbody dying on tv an the government broke the 4th wall ..pretty sure everyone’s fed up rn lol."
SZA then ended the tweetstorm by sharing a photo from inside the recording studio, declaring simply, "Where I belong."
SZA currently appears on the cover of Rolling Stone — which was shared on Feb. 19 — with Normani and Megan Thee Stallion.
