SZA opened up about coming to terms with losing her song "Consideration" to Rihanna.

She said she was initially "frustrated" that her label gave the song that she co-wrote and recorded for her debut album Ctrl to Rihanna for Anti, but added that in hindsight, she's glad it happened.

"I cared so much," SZA told Variety. “I was so frustrated. I felt like, ‘I’ll never make anything this cool again,' and that was so crazy and so wrong, because it was the centerpiece to my album at the time, and for her it was just like, part of her album. I was like, 'Please, no.'"

"I had just shot a video for it and I was about to drop it in a couple days," the "Kill Bill" singer added, but the transfer "was already done" without her initial consultation, she said. “Whatever the conversation, label-wise, was already done. It was just a matter of accepting [it]."

SZA added that she has since made peace with it. "I’m so glad that that happened and that it didn’t cost me anything,” she said. “If anything, I gained a bunch from it. And I thank God that I made cool music outside of that. I don’t know why I just really thought my creativity would just stop, and this was the pinnacle of what I could make.”

Oh wow.  It’s a great song.  Crazy how someone’s biggest song can get taken from them just be to placed on someone else’s album, not even as a single.  
 

edit: oh wait this is news from two years ago :wtfga:

Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga”

The music industry is a machine with very sharp cogs and wheels. I can’t even imagine how disrespected as an artist I would feel, especially if it happened without consultation.

Sza went to a songwriting camp and didn't end up writing anything of substance, so to impress the group she showed them the song and now is surprised they said "we want that"?

She shouldn't be surprised or upset by it. She should've known what the result of this could be

we already knew how Rihanna took that song for herself, asked SZA to be on it, then asked SZA to join her onstage in the background while She gave Drake (SZA’s ex) a lapdance in front of her lmaooo
