Earlier tonight, SZA tweeted, “I actually quit.” She said that Top Dawg Entertainment co-president Terrence “Punch” Henderson “can release my album if he ever feels like it.” That tweet has since been deleted. Henderson subsequently offered what appears to be a subtweeted response: “Lol.” When reached for comment, Punch responded to Pitchfork with this statement: “Why so serious??” (His tweet, below, also features a photo of Heath Ledger as the Joker.)
This year, SZA has been teasing her follow-up to 2014’s Z, a record called A, which she said would arrive “while everyone is still in a bathing suit.” In an interview, she described A as an album where “all my dirty laundry is on the line.” This year, she shared a new track called “twoAM.” Back in February, TDE boss Anthony Tiffith revealed a prospective TDE release schedule, which noted that SZA’s new project would arrive this year.
