SZA has announced her unexpected split from her longtime manager, Terrence “Punch” Henderson. Punch has been a vital force in SZA’s career since 2011, significantly influencing her work, including the recent release of “Lana” and the deluxe rendition of her acclaimed 2022 album “SOS.”
The news came as a surprise, especially as SZA had recently expressed excitement about releasing new music. After “Lana” dropped, SZA shared conversations with Punch about potential projects like “Take You Down,” “PSA,” and “Open Arms.” However, the abrupt nature of the separation has left the future of these tracks uncertain.
In response to a fan on Instagram, SZA recognized the suddenness of the split, explaining that it complicated the release of their previously discussed songs. Despite the big change, SZA has maintained a supportive stance: “I love Punch deeply! NO ONE should be attacking him or being cruel on my behalf.” She acknowledged that sometimes people grow apart and wished him well in his future endeavors.
The transition marks a significant shift in SZA’s career, leaving fans curious about the direction of her music moving forward.
