Referring to her producer Issa Rae and costars Keke PalmerSZA added: “When I signed up for this movie, I literally didn't think anything other than, 'damn, I love Issa and Keke, what an honor.' , that I have to finish luxury, don't I think I actually have to be on camera at any moment 😂😭 (like, duh, dummy.) That sounds insane, but that's how much I love respect and admire these women! NO THOUGHTS JUST YES.”

“@tiffanyblackness you are the best coach I could ever ask for! We literally met on set 😂you whipped me into shape in real time .. ur a 🐐!!Coming out of my shell, facing myself and the world for this film has been a transformative experience,” SZA continued.
“Every step of the way I'm shedding more skin and gaining more respect for the process. @keke you are a blessing . everyday. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and see me beyond prejudice. You've held me back in a way that I will never be able to post (let's just say if you have to cut back, it will happen 🤭😭). You are a girly girl and not meant to be played. @issarae and @lawrencelamont thank you for seeing something in me anytime!
