00:00 SZA just opened up about why she started making music, and apparently it was to prove a point
00:05 to her ex-fiancé.
00:06 SZA is baring it all in a new interview with Zane Lowe and Apple Music, talking about the
00:12 negative mental effects of fame and why she started making music in the first place.
00:18 When it comes to her explosive growth as an artist, SZA said, "I hate being perceived.
00:23 I hate coming outside.
00:24 I don't want to party.
00:26 I don't want anybody to really look at me, honestly.
00:28 I don't want to take pictures.
00:30 I hate being on video.
00:32 It's the bane of my existence."
00:34 The star shared that what brings her back down to earth is connecting with her fans
00:38 and remembering why she got into music to begin with, to prove a point.
00:42 "I was only doing music to prove a point.
00:47 I'm always proving a point.
00:48 That's the reason."
00:49 "Who were you proving a point to at that moment in time?"
00:51 "When I started making music, it was to my ex-fiancé because he was paying for everything.
00:56 So like my food, my clothes, where I lived, and he was like eight years my senior, so
01:02 I was so codependent.
01:03 The music thing was like, 'Oh, all right.'"
01:05 "I can do that."
01:06 "It was that.
01:07 It was like, 'Oh, y'all like this?
01:08 Okay, I'll do a little more.'"
