The singer, 35, who appears on the cover of December’s British Vogue, sounded off about the BBL — or Brazilian butt lift — to the outlet, saying, “It just wasn’t super necessary.” “I have other s--- that I need to work on about myself,” SZA (whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe) said. “I need to get my f---ing mental health together … Not to say you can’t do those things simultaneously, just, for me, I realize wherever you go, there you’ll be. “ SZA on the December cover of 'British Vogue'.

It was just so stupid. But who gives a f---? You got a BBL, you realize you didn’t need the s---. It doesn’t matter.” But in hindsight, SZA shared, “I love my butt. Don’t get me wrong. My booty look nice. And I’m grateful that it looks pretty much … I don’t know, sometimes natural, but I don’t even care. It’s something that I wanted.” “I’m enjoying it. I love shaking it," she further noted.
