SZAhas a perfect accessory that goes with absolutely everything — and she isn’t shy about talking about how she got it.
On the introduction to her chart-topping albumSOS, SZA alluded to having a Brazilian butt lift or other enhancement procedure, rapping, “That ass so fat, it look natural / It’s not,” before going on to add, “I talk bulls— a lot” — leaving some to wonder if her assets were, indeed, enhanced, or if she was deliberately trying to mislead listeners.
But asEllewriter Sylvia Obellnotes in her cover story with the multi-faceted performer, “In our conversation, she makes sure to note that the decision to have the surgery was hers alone.”

And SZA appears to confirm it, tellingElle, “I always wanted a really fat ass with less gym time… I didn’t succumb to industry pressure. I succumbed to my own eyes in the mirror and being like, ‘No, I need some more ass.’”
The Maplewood, New Jersey, native’s boldness is something she attributes to her home state: “That’s some Jersey s—. You know what I’m saying? When I feel like I have too much to say and I don’t want to say it cute.”
The singer (real name: Solána Rowe) let her Jersey out back in January,telling PEOPLEthat she was “just entering my era where I am accepting that I might be a bitch, and that’s OK.”

She continued, “Not all the time, but I’m not a bubblegum sweetheart and that’s OK.”
“I’m OK with also being the villain, I’m OK with speaking my mind and just being who God designed me to be.”
SZA is currently on her first arena tour in support ofSOS, her star-making album that toppedBillboard’s 200 Albums Chart, broke streaming records, and gave the performer her first No.1 single, “Kill Bill” — which features her fantasizing about murdering a former flame.
“I can’t be sad just ‘cause I’m not a sweetheart,“she told PEOPLE.“I feel like I’m multifaceted, I can be really sweet, I can be really vengeful, I can be violent, I can be nurturing and all these things.”
SZA chose to endSOSwith the powerful “Forgiveless,” just after her soft and hopeful “Good Days” — and this wasn’t a coincidence.
“‘Good Days’ is gentle and hopeful and all these things, but the truth is life is arresting and it’s not going to end how we want,” the singer says. “And a lot of s— that’s been done to me, or that’s happened in general, I may move on and accept things, but I’ll never forget.”
