A clash between Iggy Azalea and SZA would have been intriguing. Iggy Azalea, one of Australia’s top hitmakers, announced her retirement from music at the start of 2024 after facing creative roadblocks on a new album. “I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about songwriting,” she explained. While her future career path remains uncertain, she is currently a top earner on the OnlyFans platform.
Given this context, a recent tweet from Iggy, rumored to be a diss at SZA, caused some confusion. According to AllHipHop, Iggy posted on X, “Who’s solana…? I don’t know that b*🤷♀️.”
For those unfamiliar, SZA’s real name is Solána Imani Rowe. A dedicated fan quickly defended SZA, replying, “That’s @sza mother.” However, the tweet was a misunderstanding. Iggy clarified, “Girl im talking about crypto.” She was referring to Solana, a blockchain company associated with SOL cryptocurrency.
One fan caught the joke and posted a tweet replying, “I cackled a bit.” Iggy further clarified, “I love SZA too! Not about to have Stan Twitter rope her into crypto s hahaha lmaooo.”
Iggy Azalea, known for hits like “Fancy” and “Black Widow,” has transitioned from music to other creative ventures. Her announcement in January 2024 highlighted her shift in focus. Meanwhile, SZA has continued to achieve musical success. Her sophomore album, “SOS,” released in December 2022, spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and won Best Progressive R&B Album at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
The mix-up with the names Solána (SZA) and Solana (the blockchain company) highlights the importance of clarity in social media communication. Despite the initial confusion, Iggy quickly clarified her intentions, averting potential drama. Fans of both artists can now focus on their respective successes and potential future projects. Would you be interested in a collaboration between SZA and Iggy, and if so, why or why not?
