The
singer
recently
sat
down
with
Zane
Lowe
for
an

Apple
Music
interview,
where
she
talked
all
about
her
struggles
with
fame
and
how
her
songstress
journey
began.

While
discussing
how
she
first
delved
into
singing
and
songwriting,
the
artist–full
name
Solána
Imani
Rowe–admitted
that
her
career
began
as
a
way
to
prove
her
worth
to
a
former
love
interest.

“When
I
started
making
music,
it
was
to
my
ex-fiancé
because
he
was
paying
for
everything,”
she
said
during
the
interview.
“My
food,
my
clothes,
where
I
lived.
And
he
was
like
eight
years
my
senior.”

Solána
continued,
“I
was
so
codependent
and
he
was
so
talented.
His
ex-girlfriends
were
all
lawyers,
businesswomen,
and
artists…and
I’m
a
college
dropout,
I
was
still
bartending
at
the
strip
club.
I
felt
like
I
lacked
value.”

Elsewhere
in
her
interview,
SZA
also
discussed
how
she
recently
had
an
epiphany
that fame
is
“not
normal.”

“I
realized,
as
of
recent,
that
a
lot
of
this
shit
is
not
normal,”
she
told
Lowe.
“And
I
didn’t
know
how
to
process
that
experience.
And
I
was
having
a
lot
of
lashing
out,
a
lot
of
frustration.
There
are
a
lot
of
opinions,
a
lot
of
entitlement
to
your
space,
a
lot
of
entitlement
to
your
time,
a
lot
of
expectation,
and
no
one
is
understanding.”

The
“Broken
Clocks”
singer
went
on
to
confess
that
these
feelings
toward
fame
have
made
her
feel
“on
edge
and
not
a
kind
person.”
She
also
said
that
she
feels
anxiety
over
how
she’s
perceived
“in
a
vacuum,
in
your
most
high-pressure
moment,”
as
opposed
to
her
authentic
self.
