16 Oct
Summary
- SZA purchased artwork after a critic challenged others to buy it.
- The singer tagged the commenter when requesting the most expensive piece.
- She used her platform to support another creative's work.
R&B superstar SZA has demonstrated a unique way to counter online negativity by supporting fellow artist Adam Nassih. Recently, SZA encountered an online commenter who disparaged Nassih's colorful balloon animal sculptures.
The critic issued a challenge, daring others to purchase the artwork and even offering to match a sale. SZA responded by engaging with the challenge, posting an image of herself with one of Nassih's vibrant sculptures on Instagram. She explained her decision to "call the bluff" after seeing the commenter's post.
Initially, SZA playfully requested Nassih's most expensive piece, directly tagging the commenter. While the final purchase was a smaller sculpture, her action garnered attention. SZA humorously remarked on the cost of online criticism, asking, "Being a hater gets expensive, ain't it?"
This gesture by SZA, known for her own chart-topping success with the album SOS and the hit "Kill Bill," emphasizes using her influence to uplift emerging creatives.
