SZA says she stayed out of the Kendrick Lamar & Drake beef: “It was between two grown-ass men.”
In a new interview with GQ, SZA finally addressed her stance on the now-infamous Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud — and she’s keeping it real. The singer made it clear that she had no intention of getting involved in what she describes as “something between two grown-ass men.”
“It was something between two grown-ass men, so why would I insert myself between something between two grown-ass men, you know?” SZA explained. “Obviously, I love Kendrick. I’m signed to TDE. That’s my family. Obviously, I’ve known Drake for so long, and we have a beautiful rapport. And, obviously, it’s always unfortunate when the unfortunate occurs.”
She also addressed performing “Rich Baby Daddy” during the Grand National Tour: “Why wouldn’t I? ‘Poetic Justice’ was in the set list, so why wouldn’t I keep ‘Rich Baby Daddy’? I don’t know why I wouldn’t be celebrating some sh*t that I ate up.”
SZA emphasized that while she has deep respect and love for both artists, she wasn’t about to pick sides or involve herself in the drama — a smart and mature stance in a moment that had the entire hip-hop world divided. That said, we hope to see a few more collaborations with her and the two hip-hop legends.
