In a candid revelation on Friday (November 24), SZA, the renowned TDE singer, bared her soul about the internal struggles she faces in the realm of social media and public visibility.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the songstress shared, “No one teaches you how to enjoy ur life… they teach you how to work for it. Desire it. Protect it. Fight tooth n nail for it. Pray for it. Imagine it. Manifest it… how do u process all the things you’ve prayed for.”
Acknowledging her battles with anxiety and FOMO (fear of missing out) related to regular social media posting, SZA disclosed, “I get anxious posting ab my life then get fomo watching other ppl post then experience way more life so there’s so much more to post and get anxious ab the volume of material then fomo again watching awesome posts then back to experiencing more magical life material I can’t post.”
The SOS hitmaker concluded her heartfelt message with a provocative photo of herself and the cryptic caption, “alright y’all be safe now love you bye ps this will make sense soon,” leaving fans speculating about a potential upcoming musical endeavor.
SZA’s openness about her vulnerabilities is not new. Earlier this year, the 34-year-old artist reflected on her high school days, describing the experience as “shitty” but crucial for her growth. In an interview with PEOPLE, she shared her struggles with bullying and the societal pressure to conform.
“I was bullied because I wasn’t quiet and I was awkward at the same time,” she revealed. “I always thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I’ll never have the approval of anyone in life, this must be my defining factor, this must be the bottom line.”
Despite not having many friends and skipping prom due to a lack of a date, SZA’s journey has taken a remarkable turn, evolving into a celebrity with a profound impact on the music industry.
Her story is a testament to resilience, turning personal challenges into triumphs, and serves as an inspiration to many who may be facing their own struggles. SZA continues to break barriers and redefine success, proving that authenticity and staying true to oneself can lead to a fulfilling and extraordinary life.
