“I requested a Black photographer for a cover n the mag told me no lol its 2021.. and almost Juneteenth,” SZA tweeted on Thursday. “Respectfully I can’t do it.”
The “Good Days” singer subsequently shouted out Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan and Wonderland for using Black photographers for her photo shoot.

“Gotta celebrate when it’s RIGHT too!” SZA proclaimed.
When asked by fans to name the publication that rejected her request, SZA said that approach was not her “vibe” but argued there are “TOO many elite Black creatives right now to not allow it.”
