SZA has fans talking after speculation surfaced linking her to rising artist Shaboozey.
The rumors began when Shaboozey shared a new Instagram carousel captioned “Goodbye Horses,” which included a short clip of a woman seen from behind. Observant fans noticed her outfit resembled ones SZA has recently worn, sparking chatter that the two may be romantically involved. While nothing has been confirmed, excitement online is already high.

Some fans are urging caution, suggesting that the two could simply be collaborating on music or filming a video. One user wrote, “But why do we always assume dating? They’re literally both musicians, it could be anything.” Others are fully on board with the idea of a romance, sharing comments like, “I love that for him, absolutely SZA, they are so chocolate together,” and “I’m so ready to be a HUSBAND and FATHER [green heart emoji wedding ring emoji].”
Shaboozey has become one of the most in-demand artists over the past year, earning praise for his crossover appeal and collaborations with major acts like Beyoncé on COWBOY CARTER and rappers such as BigXthaPlug, who call on him to add a country influence to their tracks. Meanwhile, SZA recently wrapped her contributions to Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National tour in Sweden on August 9th, reflecting on the experience, “This tour was the craziest most once in a lifetime experience I’ve ever had. Like all my childhood thoughts in one bang.. WHAT WAS THAT? Lmao not a lotta words.. thank you to every single person involved that made this happen. Especially @kendricklamar [praying hands emoji].”
Neither artist has confirmed the rumors, but fans are eagerly watching to see whether this potential pairing will become official.
