SZA Calls Out Shannon Sharpe for “Tacky” BBL Question During An Interview With Coco Jones
Recently, SZA, a prominent voice in R&B, took issue with sports analyst and podcast host Shannon Sharpe for asking an awkward question about her past cosmetic surgery. This incident happened on a recent episode of Sharpe’s podcast, Club Shay Shay, where he was chatting with rising R&B star Coco Jones. During their talk, he brought up Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) and mentioned that SZA had previously expressed regret about her procedure. He asked Coco if she knew anyone who regretted getting one, saying, “Have you talked to anyone that regrets it, like, ‘Whatever you do, don’t do this?'” Coco gracefully deflected the question, saying the friends she talks to usually advise going for it.
SZA, however, took to social media to voice her frustration, not with Coco, but with Sharpe’s question. She pointed out how inappropriate it was for him to bring up that topic with Coco, calling it “tacky.” She made it clear she was disappointed, saying, “Lmaooo now why would this be a question for Coco… now Shay Shay.” Her comments sparked a bigger discussion online, with many of her fans defending her. They criticized Sharpe for making his female guests feel uncomfortable and suggested he should focus on their talents instead. One fan commented, “Love you Unk, but stop asking your women guests about other women… just ask their opinion on the topic.”
Interestingly, this incident might have cost Sharpe a chance to interview SZA in the future, as she seemed open to being on his podcast before this awkward moment. Instead, she chose to express her thoughts through social media, where she has always been candid. SZA’s response to Sharpe highlights a growing trend of artists, especially women, taking control of their own stories. There’s a fine line between genuine curiosity and sensationalism, and this situation reminds even experienced interviewers to be mindful when tackling sensitive subjects.

Metaphoric Mind unveils dark intensity and catchy rhythms on latest release “Jaws”
Metaphoric Mind delivers a hard-hitting, energetic sound on “Jaws” built on dark themes, razor-sharp guitars and a driving instrumental base. I love how the song opens up with a strong attack, fast synths and drums and the lead guitar gives a compelling edge to the momentum of the song. The result is a powerful record with a darker mood, but also rhythmic pull that gives the track an energy that is both urgent and captivating.
The lyrics of the song go back to the idea of trying again and making things right, reinforcing the determined mood. That sentiment is echoed throughout, a persistence thread beneath the dark tone of “Jaws,” a willingness to confront the mistake rather than leave it unresolved.
The dark feel gives the song a unique character and the syncopation between the drums and lead guitar make the song accessible and engaging. “Jaws” is an intense listen and a striking addition to Metaphoric Mind’s sound for fans of music that mixes weight and urgency with memorable instrumental interplay.
