SZA Responds to Fan Backlash Over Album Updates

SZA is facing backlash from fans over delays in updates to her album SOS Deluxe: Lana, which was promised for early January but has yet to materialize. Addressing the criticism on social media, SZA acknowledged a comment from her former manager, Punch, and expressed frustration with fans accusing her of being 'unprofessional' for the lack of updates. She explained that delays were due to issues like sample clearances, arguing that her attempts to appease fans were met with unreasonable expectations. SZA firmly stated that she does not work for her fans and emphasized her commitment to doing her best under challenging circumstances. Despite the criticism, she affirmed her independence and willingness to engage with her audience, while also humorously suggesting fans could voice their complaints during 'business hours.' SZA's exchanges highlight the tension between artist expectations and fan demands in the digital age.
