SZA Drops Out of TDE Tour Due to Swollen Vocal Cords

TDE’s “The Championship Tour” features all of the labels key artists, including Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Unfortunately, the latter has no choice but to pull out of the tour under doctor’s orders.

SZA, real name Solána Imani Rowe, won’t be hitting the stage with her label mates for a while, as she’s suffered swollen vocal cords. To prevent any lasting damage, she’ll sit out the remainder of their North American tour dates, according to The Jasmine Brand.

Label head, Top Dawg, revealed her throat problems have already affected a few dates.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this . I’ve been touring for 11 months. This didn’t happen overnight . Ive been troubleshooting for a while now and Usually steroids and pushing through help. They don’t this time . I’m not sick my voice just won’t fucking work😔 🤷🏾‍♀️. If I don’t pause now I’ll be forced to pause permanently . I’m genuinely sorry for every face,voice ,and energy field I won’t be touching ! I’m literally taking as many steroids as I can to speed this up!! Its a waiting game and super weird to be blamed for stuff outta my control but I get it ! again .. I’m sorry..I’ll be right back . Pray for me or don’t . Preciate u either way ❤️-S
