![EXCLUSIVE: Singer SZA is all smiles at the beach in Hawaii as she celebrates chart-topping success with her new album 'SOS'. The 33-year-old hitmaker - real name Solana Imani Rowe - looked happy and relaxed as she hit the beach with her producer ThankGod4Cody, who is credited on seven songs on the history-making R&B album. She rocked a plunging pink halter neck swimsuit and matching sarong, also revealing a nip slip as she cooled off with a dip in the ocean. The New Jersey-raised R&B singer-songwriter is currently holding the top spot on the Billboard 200 with her long-awaited second LP. She recently took to Instagram, telling fans: "3 weeks at number one fully minding my business n not giving a f**k . Thank God." In her latest lyrics, the 'Hit Different' songstress has seemingly addressed plastic surgery rumors, responding to rampant speculation around whether her body has been cosmetically enhanced. 03 Jan 2023 Pictured: SZA.

In Drake’s new song with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin‘, he raps, “Wait, cause I used to date SZA back in ’08.” The lyrics caused some confusion amongst fans, who realized that SZA would’ve been underage at just 17 years old in 2008, while Drake was 21 at the time. However, on Oct. 4, SZA took to Twitter to confirm that everything was perfectly legal — Drizzy was actually off by a year in his song lyrics!
“So it was actually 2009 lol,” she tweeted. “In this case a year of poetic rap license mattered lol. I think he just innocently rhymed 08 with wait. Anyone who really knows me and was around during this time can confirm…it’s all love and peace. I just didn’t want anybody thinking anything underage or creepy was happening. Completely innocent. Lifetimes ago.”
SZA’s clarification about the relationship came after some fans worried that she wasn’t happy with Drake rapping about her on his new song. In fact, some fans even pointed out that SZA appeared to unfollow Drake on Instagram after the song dropped on Oct. 2. When the song first came out, many fans accused Drake of lying about the relationship, and even criticized him for bringing SZA’s name into his music.
However, based on SZA’s tweets, she seems to be perfectly okay with being referenced in Drizzy’s latest verse. Over the years, it’s been apparent that Drake and SZA are on good terms, as well. In 2017, they posed for a friendly photo together. Plus, in September, when SZA released her song, “Hit Different,” with Ty Dolla $ign, Drake publicly praised the track on social media. “Solana is the chef’s kiss,” he wrote on Instagram, using SZA’s real name. All seems to be good between these two!
