SZA Gets a DM From a Fan Asking for Help With Math Homework: Here’s How She Responded

A SZA fan has been struggling in math class, and they turned to the “Snooze” singer for help with their geometry homework. The fan actually received a response to the Instagram DM from SZA, which went viral on social media on Wednesday (Aug. 28), as the R&B star tried to channel her days in geometry class.

“SZA I’m failing geometry can you give me math tips,” the fan DMed.

“Lmaooo ma’am I’m a math dummy I’m not sure what u expected,” the four-time Grammy winner replied. “Tell me about the shapes chile how can I help?”

The fan sent over a photo of her homework with a “Finding Coordinates” section. “I just can’t do this,” they continued.

SZA proved to be no match for the geometry questions and couldn’t come up with the answers. “Oh b—h ur cooked,” the TDE artist candidly admitted.

Even though she failed, SZA — born Solana Rowe — posted the exchange to her Instagram Story and appreciated the fan for believing in her intellect. “I appreciate the faith in me,” the star captioned the post.

While her math skills might not be up to par, her songwriting remains elite as she collected another accolade in June when SZA won the Hal David Starlight Award at the 2024 Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards. She’s the second Black woman to receive the honor behind Alicia Keys.

SZA has laid low on the music side of things after releasing her “Saturn” single in February. Even nearly two years after SOS‘ release, the project has remained a staple on the Billboard 200, where it sits at No. 13 on the Aug. 31-dated chart.
