SZA has admitted that she was insecure about the fact she thought fans would only turn up to the Grand Central tour to see Kendrick Lamar.
The two longtime collaborators are co-headlining a widely successful tour that has seen them play to sold out stadiums across North America.
However, sitting down for a chat with Chappell Road for Interview Magazine, SZA has confessed to suffering from anxiety.
She said: “Every time I had to go on stage, every time I had to get on a carpet, I’d have full-on panic attacks. I used to not show up to something because it was like, ‘I’m never going to win. No one cares that I’m here. Why would I go?’”
The TDE singer said those issues spilled over into her tour with Kendrick: “Same thing with the Kendrick tour. Everybody’s going to see Kendrick. I don’t even know if I have anything to show these people that’s exciting and new.”
The “Kill Bill” superstar went on to say that she was doing much better: “Now it’s just like, ‘Fuck it. I don’t have anything else to do, and I want to see where this door is going to lead.’ I want to walk through the door. I want to see what happens in the uncertainty.”
The duo recently took the Grand National tour to Drake’s hometown of Toronto.
It was Kendrick’s first time performing in the Canadian city since his beef with Drake kicked off last year and he did not save any special treatment for the 6 God nor make any changes to his set.
K. Dot performed now infamous diss track “Not Like Us” to a rapturous reception inside the Rogers Centre with fans vocally chanting for an encore by the end of the lengthy show.
Drake was originally counter programming the concert with a Kai Cenat livestream but the duo pulled out at the last minute and pushed the event back to an as yet unconfirmed date.
Drizzy also had some harsh words for a local politician who chose to attend the concert, calling him a “goof” for showing support to Kendrick.
You’re a platinum selling artist with close ties to kendrick, obviously people want to see you. Stfu with the dumb shit
Scissor is such a stupid name.
It’s what Dykes do.
bro your name is Big H on here come on now 😭😭
nothing but a sea of white in those crowds.
if you went you’d know that’s not true lol
what percentage of the 60,000 tickets that were available in Foxborough were black people? you don’t even know where that even is.
Paying whites
Yeah cause when you buy tickets, they ask you what your race is. Stop replying to yourself jackass, people aren’t stupid enough to fall for that.
Side note, Drake’s fan base is 80% white girls. Stomach that and ask drake where he gets his abs from.
