SZA Defends Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" Lyrics Against Accusations of Misogyny
“I’m so f****n’ sick and tired of the Photoshop.”
SZA has backed her TDE label-mate Kendrick Lamar in the controversy surrounding the lyrics to his single “Humble.” When the single was released, Kendrick came under fire for some of the lyrics, particularly a section that many people thought was Kendrick telling women what they need to do to be attractive. Speaking to Glamour in a recent interview, SZA defended Kendrick and the lyrics from accusations of misogyny. You can read SZA’s answer below, and head over to the Glamour site to take a look at the full interview.
“How is that misogyny if he’s supporting positive body image? I think that’s so weird, and it’s reaching. If you want to support women, you should support all shapes of women. There are more women who are body shamed and who are — I mean, I used to be 200 pounds, and I have stretch marks all over my body. I find more comfort and solace with Kendrick reinforcing that I’m beautiful. I don’t really feel anything misogynistic from that.”
