Back in 2018, Kehlani admired the impact SZA was making in the music industry and her authenticity. "I think what's so important to me about SZA right now is she is a beautiful, chocolate brown woman, who is like, taking over the planet right," Kehlani said, per Complex. "... To see someone of her color and her stature, and looking how she looks, as extremely beautiful and talented as she is, winning, a hundred percent in first, I don't think anyone can wish for anything more."
There have been some previous missed connections for the singers, too. While their names haven't appeared on a song yet together, Kehlani shared in an Instagram live that a collaboration was supposed to happen. "SZA was supposed to be on the album. But we ran out of time," the artists said. "She was busy. You gotta respect when people is busy."
In February 2021 during an interview with Billboard, SZA gave a shout-out to some of her favorite artists, which included Kehlani. "I'm obsessed. I've been listening to all the girls," SZA said. "Of course, Summer [Walker], Kehlani, and Ari [Lennox]. Those are my favorites..."
While the rumors and fan speculation of the singers dating are still just that, it's clear the singers have a deep appreciation for one another and their music. Hopefully, one day soon we can finally get that collaboration.
