SZA has opened up about her complex relationship with fame in a recent interview with Extra, alongside Issa Rae and Keke Palmer.

The four-time Grammy winner revealed that even after a decade in the spotlight, she still finds fame challenging to navigate. "I don't really know what is happening. I don't know what the hell is going on," she admitted, contrasting her experience with that of her peers who seem more naturally adapted to public life.

Coming from a suburban background with regular schooling and odd jobs, SZA emphasizes that her rise to fame wasn't something she deliberately pursued. "They'll be like, 'That's what you signed up for,' and then I'm like, 'I didn't even know what I was signing up for, actually,'" she explained. "I just made a couple songs, and I was grateful that they were liked, and then I kept going."

Despite her ongoing adjustment to fame, SZA continues to achieve remarkable success. Her latest release, SOS Deluxe: Lana, dropped on December 20, following the original SOS album's impressive run at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album recently reclaimed the top spot after 22 months, boosted by the deluxe edition's release.

Looking ahead, SZA has expressed plans to explore new creative territories, including the production of two children's albums, demonstrating her commitment to artistic growth despite the challenges of celebrity status.
