This week wasn't the first time the “Broken Clocks” artist openly expressed issues with her creative control. In an interview with Flaunt in 2018, she suggested issues related to her debut album’s release nearly encouraged her to quit music.

“I’m still miserable,” she says. “My world got so much smaller so fast. I have so much to write about. I feel like I’m in a cage,” she said. “I’m making the best album of my life for this next album and I know that because it’s going to be my last album.”

Even though her abilities drew the admiration of fans, peers and label mates alike, the 29-year-old said she felt her aesthetic might not be accepted by fellow TDE stars like Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock.

“It just so happened that being weird ended up being cool during the Pharrell era, like, ‘Weird b***hes may be alright, if you’re bad.’ So I wondered if I fit that type. I was just by my f**king self,” SZA said.
