SZA hasn’t released an album since 2017’s critically acclaimed CTRL, but she’s been more active in 2021 than in the past. The TDE singer performed her Doja Cat collaboration “Kiss Me More” at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards over the weekend, which sits in the Top 10 on the latest Billboard Hot 100.
Although, last week also marked the first time her December 2020 single “Good Days” left the Hot 100 since its release. SZA wasn’t happy with the song’s handling on the label side and made her feelings known in a comment on one of her fan pages.
“I really hate my label,” she wrote. “So much.”
With rumors flying and SZA’s fans searching for answers, the “Love Galore” artist took to Twitter to clear the air on Wednesday (May 26) and let everyone know to lay off her manager Punch and the rest of Top Dawg Entertainment. (TDE falls under the RCA Records umbrella.)
