SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

SZA has commanded headlines this week for both her artistic achievements and offstage moments. On Wednesday, viral TikTok footage showed her storming off after being hit in the face by a bracelet at a meet and greet outside State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Fans and media outlets quickly condemned the incident as another example of the troubling trend of audiences hurling objects at performers. Despite the immediate shock, SZA later took to Instagram to reassure her 23 million followers that she held no anger toward the fan, explaining that the individual didn’t realize they had hit her and that she wasn’t hurt. The outpouring of support online only reinforced her image as both approachable and unshakable.

SZA’s business ambitions were another major story with the official launch of her beauty brand Not Beauty. According to a press release and major coverage in People and AOL, the line debuted with a non-sticky, long-lasting hydrating lip gloss available in three shades for $23, boasting nature-inspired packaging. SZA emphasized that this was less about entering the beauty industry and more a personal solution—she wanted products that survived the rigors of touring and long days. She described herself as a novice in beauty but “knows a lot about lips” and hopes the products deliver for others as they have for her.

On the music front, SZA’s visibility remains sky-high. She spent this week opening for Kendrick Lamar on the Grand National Tour, a 19-city stadium run that’s been selling out across the country—as confirmed by the latest SeatGeek and tour reports. Likewise, speculation and excitement swirl after her confirmed appearance at February’s upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Lamar, their joint history making this appearance particularly anticipated. New music also remains a focus, with her collaboration “Luther” with Kendrick Lamar and her own “Drive” both nominated at the 2025 MTV VMAs—though she skipped the ceremony, later posting about choosing peace and reflection on Instagram.

In interviews, SZA continues to captivate. Her June conversation with Chappell Roan in Interview magazine delved into her creative process, spirituality, and lingering sense of being an underdog despite headline-making success, revealing personal philosophies fueling her drive.

Socially, she was widely praised for publicly supporting Lizzo amidst ongoing lawsuits, calling her friend a “master healer” in New York magazine and decrying the speed at which the public turned on Lizzo. This show of loyalty and emotional intelligence was amplified by their recent onstage appearance together.

Financially and structurally, SZA’s moves continue to expand her empire, from highly lucrative touring and record-breaking business deals to a prolific run of cross-industry collaborations. Through setbacks and triumphs, SZA’s presence this week remained thoroughly inescapable, her cultural and business impact growing hour by hour.
