SZA has always been a huge Beyoncé fan – so she was of course elated when she found out that they now have a major accolade in common.
On the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated April 26, SZA scored the first No. 1 song of her career with her Doja Cat-assisted “Kill Bill (Remix).” With that feat, it put her in the company of Ms. Knowles as the only Black women to have achieved both a No. 1 album and a No. 1 song in the 2020s.
“To be next to the queen is an honor,” SZA wrote on her Instagram Story on Thursday (May 5) with a screenshot of the news.
Days prior on Tuesday (May 2), the New Jersey singer reacted to her first No. 1 song with pure joy.
“took me a over week to process cause I dreamt of this my entire career.. didn’t feel real lol, still doesn’t,” she tweeted. “but I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. Every person, every fan base every ear that listened and pushed for me . Can’t believe we have a number 1 record.”

“I saw ‘Formation’ twice,” Lizzo said. “I went opening night ’cause it was on my birthday, then I saw her in L.A.”
SZA added: “The only time I seen Beyoncé perform was at Coachella, and it was fucking crazy.”
