SZA's Unstoppable 2025: Chart Domination, Kendrick Collab, Fashion Moves & More

SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. SZA has dominated headlines and captured public attention throughout early September 2025 with a flurry of major developments, both professionally and personally. Her recent collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, the hit single "Luther," broke records as it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for thirteen consecutive weeks. Billboard and HotNewHipHop both credit the track for becoming the first duet between a solo male and female artist to hold the top spot for over eleven weeks, landing at number five on the publication’s Top Summer Songs of 2025 list. This extended chart reign and summer acclaim have reinforced her status at the pinnacle of contemporary R&B and crossover pop. On the touring front, SZA is currently co-headlining the Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar, having already shattered the record for the highest-grossing co-headlining trek in its first months according to Wikipedia. The tour, which began in Minneapolis in April, is wrapping up its U.S. leg and preparing for shows in South America and Mexico, with the first international stop set for Mexico City on September 23. SZA also appeared beside Lamar during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show earlier this year—a major public spotlight event that reignited interest in their collaborative history and sent her song “30 for 30” to a new peak at number ten, though it wasn’t performed. Beyond music, SZA continues to expand her brand. She recently launched Not Beauty, a cosmetics line featuring lip products, which are being sold exclusively at pop-up shops during her concert stops. Official announcements, reported by AOL, say fans can experience the collection firsthand at these venues, with possible new products to come based on her social media teasers. She has also been appointed the first artistic director for shoe giant Vans, with exclusive fashion collaborations planned. SZA made a special appearance at Cyndi Lauper’s farewell concert in New York on September 1, performing alongside icons Cher, Joni Mitchell, and John Legend—a rare and high-profile moment that quickly made rounds on music blogs. In film and television, she has recently co-starred with Keke Palmer in the buddy comedy “One of Them Days,” which has enjoyed critic praise, and made a guest spot on the forthcoming 55th season of Sesame Street, further underscoring her versatility. Social media continues to buzz about SZA’s personal life. TheSource reports recent speculation around a possible romance with breakout star Shaboozey, sparked by clues in an Instagram post. While fans stoke the dating rumors, others reasonably suggest it might simply be a musical collaboration; nothing is confirmed as of yet.
