SZA and Drake had a short romance in 2009, just as they were both rising stars. That same year, Drake became well-known, while SZA would later establish herself as a key figure in R&B. They collaborated successfully on hits like "Slime You Out" and "Rich Baby Daddy." Recently, their relationship has faced challenges, partly due to SZA’s connection with Kendrick Lamar. Despite this, she hasn't publicly criticized Drake. During a recent interview on First We Feast with Issa Rae and Keke Palmer, SZA was put on the spot. She had to answer personal questions or eat increasingly spicy wings. Keke Palmer stirred things up by asking if Drake was a bad kisser. SZA, clearly annoyed with the wings, chose to eat instead of answering. Her response only sparked more curiosity. Palmer commented that SZA's silence implied a negative answer. SZA tried to clarify, saying, "We were children back then." Keke kept pressing her for a simple answer, but SZA avoided the topic by eating another wing. Issa Rae pointed out that SZA’s unwillingness to answer hinted at her feelings. Although she wouldn’t say much about the kissing, her actions suggested it wasn't impressive.
SZA has insisted that her relationship with Drake wasn't serious. In a 2023 Rolling Stone interview, she explained, "We were really young. It wasn’t serious; it was just youthful." She expressed that she is still looking for a meaningful romantic relationship. "I feel like I have more to offer than just my looks and energy," she said. "But, I'm human, and that stuff matters."
