There\u2019s no backstory. Like, there was no through line narrative. It was just like, \u2018Roc Nation\u2019\u2026. I don\u2019t know where it came from. That\u2019s not even my place to correct a narrative that I don\u2019t got shit to do with. It was a little strange. It was very like, \u2018Why?\u2019 But also, you know, \u2018I guess.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThat\u2019s not the only controversy she found herself embroiled in: Over the past year, she\u2019s worked extensively with Kendrick Lamar, who is also managed by Top Dawg Entertainment, and found herself getting collateral flak from Lamar\u2019s ongoing, high-profile feud with Drake (which is even more complicated than the Minaj spat). SZA was quick to say that she\u2019s friends with both artists and called the situation \u201cunfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt was something between two grown-ass men, so why would I insert myself between something between two grown-ass men, you know?,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I feel like that\u2019s how everybody felt \u2014 with the exception of people who didn\u2019t feel that way. I didn\u2019t really have any stake, per se. Obviously, I love Kendrick. I\u2019m signed to TDE. That\u2019s my family. Obviously, I\u2019ve known Drake for so long and we have a beautiful rapport.
