SZA has addressed and debunked rumors suggesting that Frank Ocean was removed from her latest album, LANA (the deluxe version of SOS), at the last minute.
The claims originated from a fan account on X (@blondedhomer), which alleged that Ocean had a verse on the album that was cut before its release.
The fan account failed to provide details about which song was allegedly affected, but the post quickly gained traction among fans.
SZA, however, was not having it. She responded directly to the claim in a now-deleted post, writing:
“Lmao now why would you even make this up?? Ur insane. It never existed. And don’t ever play on Frank’s name like that EVAAAA.”
SZA’s swift clapback emphasizes that there was never any collaboration with Frank Ocean on LANA, shutting down the speculation entirely.
The incident highlights the dangers of spreading unverified rumors, especially involving high-profile artists.
Fans can now enjoy LANA without the distraction of unfounded claims, as SZA continues to dominate the music charts with her deluxe album.
