SZA’s first attempt to get a prominent Hip Hop artist’s feature didn’t go well. The Top Dawg Entertainment singer recalled how she reacted after getting turned down by Earl Sweatshirt years ago on Thursday (July 16).
“The first feature I ever asked for was earl sweatshirt and he told me no faster than I could blink,” she wrote via Twitter. “I deadass cried [crying laughing emojis] we frens now.”
While SZA noted the two became friends, one of her followers said she wouldn’t have taken so kindly to the snub. The tweet got a response from the multi-platinum selling songstress, who said she still loves other artists even when they hate her.
“Lmao UR CRAZY !” she responded. “He’s SO talented. There’s literally ppl that hate me rn that I think are SO talented and idc that they hate me I still bang they shit.”

Vine star-turned-producer Jay Versace also chimed in to tell SZA, “thankful for them progressive ‘no’s’ that get us in a whole nuva bag.” She let him know the “no’s” were still coming.
“If u knew who told me no the other night,” she told him.
That information wasn’t made available for public consumption though. Versace sought to get the details out of the Twitter spotlight.
“oop lemme head [to] the texts chyle,” he concluded.
Earl Sweatshirt only likes moldy old middle-aged white women lol so of course you got turned down lol
I met earl once before a show and the look on his face would give you an impression he hates people, I give em the benefits fans can be annoying but his stare stuck with me and makes listening to his music awkward asl. If he turned her down in person and just knowing that look he had while doing it, I can see why she cried
Good morning, fellow white person.
“Earl puts the ass in assassin” meaning he acts an ass while he assassinates your requests to be a feature.
Prominent??? Lol don’t nobody give to pieces of a fraction of a flying fuck about Earl Sweatshirt lmao lmao! They called him a prominent rapper!!! Lol lol lol lol lol
My bad i meant 2 pieces of a fraction of a flying fuck
Not an Earl Sweatshirt fan but I can give him credit for not bowing to peer pressure. It’s about the music and if he doesn’t feel it would be a good match then fair enough. Some rappers will do features with anyone so their input doesn’t feel very impactful (Snoop Dogg springs to mind along with Eminem when it’s on non-rap features).
