In a surprising revelation, singer SZA shared a memorable encounter with comedian Katt Williams during the filming of her debut movie, where he delivered an unusual yet empowering compliment. Speaking to fellow artist Kendrick Lamar in a feature for Harper’s Bazaar, SZA opened up about her jitters while filming alongside stars like Keke Palmer, and how Katt Williams helped her calm down.

The S.O.S. singer admitted she was overwhelmed and even considering skipping the film’s premiere, set for January. But an encounter with Williams on set took a curious turn that shifted her perspective. “I met Katt Williams,” SZA recalled. “He told me I was mentally ill, like, as a compliment. He was like, ‘Sa, I believe you might have some mental—’ And I was like, ‘Illness?’ And he said, ‘You’re welcome!’”

While the comment might have raised eyebrows, SZA explained that she took it as a form of encouragement. Williams, known for his eccentric and direct humor, seemed to recognize something in SZA—perhaps her unique presence or her ability to channel emotion, even under pressure.

Interestingly, SZA and Kendrick Lamar did not delve deeper into Katt Williams’ unique motivational methods during the interview. However, Williams’ larger-than-life personality and candid opinions have made waves this year, including his Club Shay Shay interview, where he discussed ongoing tensions in the entertainment world, such as the rumored beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

As SZA prepares for the release of her debut film, which remains untitled, there’s some speculation about her involvement in its promotion. The film, produced by Issa Rae’s Hoorae imprint, also stars Maude Apatow, Lil Rel Howery, and Janelle James. With SZA admitting her anxieties about attending the premiere, it remains to be seen if she’ll follow through with promotional activities. If not, there could be some friction, as Issa Rae is known for her commitment to her projects.

Regardless, the film marks an exciting new chapter in SZA’s already stellar career, and with the support of bold figures like Katt Williams, she’s bound to bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the big screen. Fans eagerly await not only her acting debut but also how she navigates this new venture alongside her successful music career.
