News : SZA GETS RESPONSE FROM BEN STILLER AFTER PLEADING FOR NEW SEASON OF ‘SEVERANCE’

SZA is just one of many people who have been eagerly waiting for the sophomore season of Severance since the Apple TV+ series debuted back in 2022.

On Thursday (May 2), the Top Dawg Entertainment superstar took to social media to air out her frustration over the delayed second installment of the whimsical series.

“Was tryna be polite but I really need a new season of severance right the fuck now,” she wrote.

Less than half an hour later, co-director Ben Stiller quoted the tweet with a succinctly hilarious: “Ok ok got it.”

Two days later, on Saturday (May 4), the “Kill Bill” hitmaker ate her words upon noticing the reply.

“Omg please accept my humble apology [teary-eyed emoji] lmao whenever ur ready is fine [crying emoji] just dying of thirst it’s the best show ever! ur a madman [salut emoji] THANK U mr stiller king sir !” she responded. “Not Im a Stan and got caught bullying ?? Not bullying works ?? Im calling the cops on myself.”

As of now, a release date for the next bundle of episodes has yet to be announced, though star Adam Scott said this week that it will happen in the “somewhat near future.”

As for her music, SZA recently admitted that she isn’t a fan of having her work categorized in a single genre, as she believes it limits people from appreciating her full range as an artist.

In an interview with Dazed published in early May, the 34-year-old discussed her image, and how she has been marketed in a way that doesn’t reflect her material.

“The only reason I’m defined as an R&B artist is because I’m Black,” the New Jersey singer said. “It’s almost a little reductive because it doesn’t allow space to be anything else or try anything else. Justin Bieber is not considered an R&B artist; he is a pop artist who makes R&B, folk music, or whatever his heart desires.

“I simply just want to be allowed the same opportunity to make whatever I want without a label, [without it being] based on the color of my skin, or the crew that I run with, or the beats that I choose. I want “F2F” to be seen as what it is. I want “Nobody Gets Me” to be seen as what it is. I want “Kill Bill” to be seen as what it is.”

She added: “At the same time, it’s nothing to get bent out of shape about, because it’s just how people are processing you. As long as I don’t process myself that way. I don’t necessarily box myself into anything. I’m just trying to make music, trying to vibe out and enjoy the experience.”
