SZA To Make Acting Debut Alongside Keke Palmer In Buddy Comedy

SZA will be making her acting debut in a buddy comedy alongside Keke Palmer, Deadline reports. The plot is still unknown at the time but Issa Rae will produce and Keke, alongside her mother Sharon Palmer, will executive produce.

According to the publication, "SZA had been considering a number of projects, and the opportunity to reunite with Palmer was too good to pass up." The two have worked together in the past on Saturday Night Live back in 2022. They both performed the song "Big Boys" for a skit on the late night sketch comedy show.

While fans are patiently waiting for SZA to make her acting debut, they also want to get more music out of the singer soon. Last year, SZA teased Lana, the deluxe to her Grammy-winning sophomore album SOS, however nothing has yet to come to due to someone leaking unreleased songs that were supposed to be on the project.

“Y’all leaked three songs from the deluxe. At this point, y’all can keep the throwaways and leaks. I’ll be starting ‘Lana’ from scratch. Do not ask me about it again,” adding a few minutes later, “I’ll round up the leaks y’all already got and u can have those. Seems like a fair deal. ENJOY,” SZA wrote in a series of since-deleted tweets per Variety back in March.

In another series of since-deleted tweets, she made a note to call out a woman named Janessa who allegedly “unreleased pics and audio” from SZA's impending project.

“Being that this is material from ‘Lana,’ this prompted me to make a decision. I decided w all the leaks and me not knowing what someone has or doesn’t have it’s too complicated so I should jus consolidate the leaks and the outtakes and drop that as to not prolong the process and then focus on my next project as a win win for everybody,” she wrote.

She continued, “And please be clear anybody defending a thief is weird as fuck. I don’t come in your job and take shit and fuck up your work. Why would that be okay? Where’s the home training? Nobody wants to prosecute a young woman. We’ve all asked very nicely for some time now.”

SZA confirmed that the deluxe edition of SOS will now feature “the leaks and outtakes” that have been released without the singer's permission. The musician concluded her message writing: “Lana deserves more time and music no one’s ever heard before."

SZA and the "S" stands for "sexy" (jk, it's really Solana). Listening to SZA's music from her very first full-length project, you can see how her confidence has grown. In 2017, she released her debut album CTRL. In the song "Drew Barrymore" she sings about her insecurities and how she wants to be better to impress a guy she wants.

"I’m so ashamed of myself think I need therapy-y-y-y/ I’m sorry I’m not more attractive/I’m sorry I’m not more ladylike," the New Jersey native sings.

Now, if you fast forward to 2022, five years after that song was released, SZA is singing a different tune. In the title track of SOS, which serves as the intro to the project, she is screaming that she commands respect.

"Give me a second, give me a minute/Nah, lil' bitch, can't let you finish/Yeah, that's right, I need commissions on mine/All that sauce you got from me/All that shit I gave for free/I want it back, want it back/This ain't no warnin' shot/Case all you h--- forgot/Know you been more than lost/Without me," she belts in the first verse.

It's very apparent that in those five years, she has thought of herself differently. While filters, body enhancements, and facial injections are common in this day and age, as a celebrity, she has been very upfront about cosmetic procedures she has done in the past. She first addressed the Brazilian butt-lift rumors in the intro SOS.

"So classic, that a-- so fat, it look natural, it's not," she sings later in the song.

In an interview with Elle back in May, she admitted to getting the body enhancement.

"I always wanted a really fat a-- with less gym time,” SZA said. "I didn’t succumb to industry pressure, I succumbed to my own eyes in the mirror and being like, No, I need some more a--."

She also defended herself against the harmful rumors about her getting work done on her face, which she has denied.

"I heard I had a facelift, I heard I had a nose job, I heard my teeth were fake," she told The Wall Street Journal. "Now do I need to go out and get a nose job because you all made me feel like I need one?" the singer asked.

BBL or not, SZA takes the cake on posting some of the sexiest Instagram photos. Take a look at seven of her best below:

This SZA look is so effortless. From the slightly messy curls, the oversized white cardigan, and the tan yet sparkly matching top and bottom, it's very easy to recreate at home. Her makeup matches the two-piece with white eyeliner and a mix of both tan and white eyeshadow.

We think it's possible SZA looks good with any hair length. In this sexy shot, the singer wore a short haircut with a corset-esque styled t-shirt. She paired it with a tan mini-skirt and the look is nothing less than a chef's kiss.

SZA knew exactly what she was doing with this photo and it worked. The singer bent down in one of her signature poses wearing a matching blue bikini top and shorts. She elevated the outfit with a denim hat and flower-printed denim shoes.

We're not even going to lie...we audibly gasped when she posted this photo shortly after walking the stage at the Grammys this year. SZA wore a black cutout dress that was short in the front and long in the back. In her caption, she mentioned that she had such a good time at the award show. We did too, seeing her in this beautiful dress.

The OG SZA fans know she broke Instagram when she posted this photo. It was the neon green hair for us (and the rest of social media). Her outfit is barely noticeable except for her black stripy shoes, but she proved with just the hair and her face card that's all she needed.

Who would have thought having mud on your face could be sexy? In promotion for her sophomore album SOS, SZA posted a photo of herself covered in mud. The singer wore a dark green crop top and matching pants that had the button open, revealing a bikini bottom. The grundy concept was a first for the singer but the risk made it one of her most sexiest posts.

This photo is by far the most sexiest SZA currently has on her timeline. It is a screenshot from her song "PSA" which was initially expected to be the lead single to SOS. Not only did she never release the song prior to the album, the song is still in her vault and also did not appear on the final tracking list. While we only hear a snippet of the singer's sultry vocals, the "PSA" teaser at least gave us a visual to gawk at in the meantime.
