Near the end of the BET Awards, SZA gave the audience a wonderful performance medley of tracks from her recently released album Ctrl.
Despite a bumpy start due to technical difficulties behind the scenes (Sidebar: A BET Awards show is not a BET Awards show without a few obvious snafus), the TDE songstress powered through her performance, singing “Love Galore” (sans Travis Scott) and “The Weekend.”
Watch below:
Following her performance, someone on Twitter compared SZA to Erykah Badu, who seemed to throw a little shade, but quickly explained what she meant.
“Haha ju said it best. BLESSED TO BE ME. BLESSED TO KNOW U,” SZA replied
