Lizzo and SZA may be celebrated collaborators, but beyond the music, the pair share a deep bond of friendship.
That bond was on full display recently when SZA (born Solana Rowe) stood firmly by Lizzo’s side amid public scrutiny surrounding lawsuits that accuse the Special hitmaker of fat-shaming, workplace discrimination, and sexual harassment.
SZA’s Support in New York Magazine
In the latest edition of New York magazine, which features Lizzo as its cover star, SZA offered strong words of encouragement for her friend.
“It was so weird to watch everybody attack her because it actually had nothing to do with what was going on,” SZA said. “What’s special about my friend is she is a master healer. She is always going to get to the bottom of herself. Nobody cleared her name for her. Nobody could give her that vindication; she gave it to herself. I just felt like she 100 percent genie’d herself through that.”
More Praise During Lizzo’s Podcast Appearance
Just days later, Lizzo appeared on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where she discussed her mixtape My Face STILL Hurts from Smiling, her touring plans, and the history of music sampling.
Midway through, SZA dropped in with another show of support — this time with her signature humor.
“Fck anybody that doesn’t fck with Lizzo; she’s the best and most smartest and smarter than most of you n*ggas,” she joked to the camera.
Lizzo and SZA’s Musical Collaborations
Over the years, Lizzo and SZA have built a strong creative relationship. SZA has performed alongside Lizzo at festivals and events, and the two often exchange mutual praise on social media. Fans particularly love when the two share the stage, such as during Lizzo’s Special Tour and festival appearances, where their chemistry was undeniable.
Their friendship and artistry also continue to spark speculation about a possible studio collaboration, something fans are eagerly awaiting. With both artists dominating charts and conversations in recent years, a Lizzo–SZA joint record could easily become a cultural moment.
A Friendship That Stands Strong
Through music, public appearances, and personal challenges, Lizzo and SZA continue to uplift each other both privately and publicly — reminding fans that their bond goes far beyond the stage.
