Rih stans accused Bey of stealing songs when their fave is also the same 

She didn’t steal anything. Otherwise SZA wouldn’t have been thankful and grateful.

How did she mimick Rih on singing TIHYCF when she literally wrote that? TF, her vocals is on the song lol. 

 

Just thank Taylor that your fave got another hit 

Her singing is the reason why Calvin flew across oceans to get Rihanna vocals( someone he views as a better vocalist of course). If she sounded as good as Rih, why did Calvin track Rihanna down just to get her vocals instead? Make it make sense. She sounded flat, pitchy and grating as usual!! She should stick to spelling is fun

She seems like a liar tbh. But I understand people feel what they feel still... 

seems? She IS a liar  

[ImsoLOUD]

that one SZA stan has had it out for Rih for months  making threads comparing SOS to ANTi the moment Solona released  

 

then you have a Swiftie with a Rihanna username constantly questioning Rihanna’s impact  

I couldn’t imagine the pain that they’re in

Ms. Fake Freckles Majored in Botany in an IVY school with no TV is without a doubt a liar. A harmless one for the most part but I don't believe for one second that she shot the music video for Consideration while she was presenting it

[Relampago.]

Why do Swifties hate girls like Rih and Bey so much? I mostly see the most intense vitriol for those two come from that stan base. Katy dragged Taylor, and artists like Adele and Olivia are more in her lane as far as rivalry go but it’s rarely as intense and persistent with them. 

 

And it’s always the narrative of their fans being uneducated and Rih/Bey being thieves. They even dragged SZA hard when she was trying to get a #1, despite the fact Taylor is always serving desperation when she tries to get a #1 in a week where the points are tight, despite being the biggest artist easily atm.

 

What gives? Something’s up…

You know why lol

 

That's why I don't think they should really be engaged with and why I refuse to quote any of them in this thread. They're miserable prejudiced individuals who get off calling Black female artists names and constantly putting them down. That they're this worked up over someone who isn't even active musically anymore is just testament to the levels of obsession and hatred and should be ignored the same way rabid dogs are.

I peep game too, so much so that I've put most of them on ignore. They pretty much have taken liddos place in the last couple of years lol straight unhinged.

Why are swifters so hung up on Rihanna?

[Poxy]

I don’t trust Sza especially since the whole fake crutches thing at the Grammys

Omg never heard her speak before, her voice is super annoying, the vocal fry is too much

My thoughts exactly when I watched tje interview. Many other celebs sound good with vocal fry while talking and Sza isnt one of them.

songwriter driven SOS being so much bigger than purchased/stolen songs Anti is painful for you not for me dear 

[Gyal]

the label probably thought she was never gonna release and sold the song, kinda like joyride. A lot of new fans don't know how messy ctrl release was, years of silence and a few teasers of things that never came and we only had album snippets from the listening party for a good few months before love galore even dropped.

[WeFoundWill]

When will she finally shut up about this

i see you have been trained well 

 

what a good lapdoggy! 🐶

 

[momal]

Rihanna sounds better than her on Consideration though. And that SOS album is a flop, has it even reached 100 000 pure?  

[Harry_]

More than anything, I'm so impressed by Rihanna despite not knowing it was the "centerpiece" of Sza's album, and the demo quality being so LQ, she still knew the song was something or anything. I mean I would have skipped if I heard that dodgy demo. Her instinct and taste are really something. 

[baelani]

I believe her 

 

Reminds me of when Tinashe had to fight tooth and nail for the Joyride title track

[Khris]

if someone leaked LouAnne Johnson we would not be having this conversation  and SZA knows people have it, she probably thinks its out there on the internet already tbh....thats why she is so open about her scrapped material

the demo she previewed on instagram is not the same as the demo she played at the writing camp

[swissman]

It seems like maybe as a young/newer person in the industry she didn't have the team around her to protect what she was creating, or perhaps had not fully understood the contract she signed (ie. maybe if they said what you work on/present in these writing camps will be considered property of the label, etc.). But I think outright calling her a liar for her own version of the story is a bit much.

 

It's highly possible she brought out the song as a way to show what she can do, and/or offer certain stylistic things but didn't expect it to be used and then felt that it being taken from her was something much bigger than it was (as she's clearly come to now realize). She's also talking about her feelings THEN, compared to now so denigrating her here doesn't actually seem to be addressing what she actually said and how she said it in the video, if that is what we are basing these claims on.

 

Like, imagine you are at a writing camp for RIHANNA. Would you not at some point pull out what you feel is the best song you've created, to at least flex a little or prove your worth when other things were not going well, not necessarily thinking THIS is the one they'll take? I duno I just think that expecting her to have all this business and music industry savy at 24 without even a debut album out yet is a bit much and unfair, especially when the point of that clip is that she has matured and understands that her art cannot peak with one song.

I love SZA I really do but why play this song that is your favorite song ever at Rihanna's camp. If this song means so much to you keep it to yourself. I can see how she might feel this way but Rih was kind enough to give her a plaform and feature her on the said song. She kind of put her on the map with that

She was around 25-27 then, certainly not that young. And she had 3 EPs under her belt by then, she was no spring chicken by the time she was involved with Anti, even if she hadn't released her debut album. While I agree with some of what you said, the events that occurred were domino effects of her showing the track she wanted to keep in a place where she's supposed to literally show her best work. They weren't going to go for the tracks they liked the least when SZA showed them the tracks they loved, any logical person can understand that. Like I'm sorry but it was foolish, there's no way round it. You liked your track so much and wanted it for your project? Then keep it to yourself and release it on your album. You don't need to be business and industry savvy to know that. So what if they hadn't liked the other songs that much? The worst that could have happened would have been that those songs would have been rejected. But framing all this like SZA was some vulnerable green person in the industry that got hassled out of her song is ridiculous given all the context we have. It's not Rihanna's fault that SZA was too dumb to keep the song she wanted for herself to herself.

At the time Anti was released SZA was 25. Assuming the writing for the album was not done solely in the three months prior to that, then she would have been 24. Two of her three EPs were self-released, and the third one was on an independent label. In outlining her age and industry experience, my point is that she quite simply may not have fully grasped the legal obligations she may have signed onto which is not an inherent excuse, but a reason for why she may have felt a way about the song being taken from her as it may not have been something she was expecting could happen by sharing the song in that setting. It's reasonable to think that you, the artist, the creator, would have power and ownership over what you've created. Foolish or not, her fault or not, does that change how she's allowed to feel about the consequences?

 

But beyond all that, my point here was calling her a "liar" and going out of your way to bash SZA for sharing a story about how she now understands her art cannot be summed up by one song is totally getting it wrong. If you wish to debate people here who are coming for Rihanna, by all means do so. But coming for SZA who is not whining about it, but recalling feelings she no longer feels to display how she's grown and exceeded the creative limits she thought she had, is entirely out of context.
