It was a tough competition for the singer since she had to beat Burna Boy, Ari Lennox, Coco Jones, and all the nominated artists in the category. Janelle Monáe was nominated for the album ‘The Age of Pleasure’ and Ari Lennox for ‘Age/Sex/Location’. Similarly, Summer Walker was competing with ‘Clear 2: Soft Life’ EP, Babyface with ‘Girls Night Out’ (Extended), Victoria Monét with ‘Jaguar II’ and lastly, Coco Jones with ‘What I Didn’t Tell You (Deluxe)’.

SZA is leading the nomination for the upcoming event of 2024 as well and there’s no doubt that she is about to climb more ladders. However, some X (formerly known as Twitter) users called her out for not commenting on the news. To which the artist explained that she felt “anxiety” kicking in when she tried to think of a way to express her gratitude to everyone.

This is not the first time for SZA to break some record at an award ceremony as previously, she left “very shook” and “overwhelmed” after getting nine Grammy nods. Soul Train Awards 2023 took place in Los Angeles on Sunday that celebrates the best in soul, R’n’B, and Hip-Hop music of the year. The event was hosted by Keke Palmer. Previously, she won a Grammy in 2022 for the hit collaboration project with Doja Cat, ‘Kiss Me More’. However, this chart-topper artist said that she is not motivated by the accolades.
