Drake has high praise for SZA’s new album SOS, even though he reportedly missed out on a chance to be featured on the new project.
The 6 God sat down for an extensive interview with the online casino Stake, of which Drizzy is a huge fan. In one segment of the interview, Drizzy was asked to share some new tunes he’s enjoyed in 2022 and took a moment to shout out SZA for her Billboard-topping new album SOS.
“I’ve been listening to the new SZA, SZA’s incredible,” Drake said. He also shouted out BabyDrill, Lilah and the legendary Bob Marley. Drake’s comments come as a surprise considering he was one of the few artists who allegedly “ghosted” SZA when she asked them to collaborate on the project.
A whiteboard seen in a recent behind-the-scenes video shows that similar requests might have also been made to Westside Gunn, Bad Bunny, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat, but in a later interview with Hot 97, SZA said many of the people she asked simply didn’t respond to her inquiries.
“[Collaborations happen] in the DMs and begging people,” SZA said. “Sometimes people turn in their verses and sometimes they don’t. A lot of people just like, did not turn in their verses — but I’m grateful for who did.”
She continued, “A lot of these people, I didn’t turn in my verse, so I can’t be too mad. But also, at the same token it’s like, ‘Damn, this sucks. I really needed you. I wish you showed up for me.’ But I’m sure they felt the same way for me.”
Luckily, getting ghosted didn’t stop SZA from chart-topping dominance. SOS debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and moved 315,000 album-equivalent units of the LP in its first week, according to HitsDailyDouble. It also marks the biggest first-week streams ever for an R&B album according to Chart Data, with 404.58 million streams.
