SZA, a Scorpio, claims she ‘respectfully’ does not make music for Cancers

I just learned, right now, that SZA is a Scorpio. As a Virgo, that totally adjusted my opinion of SZA. While I try to be cool with Scorpios, that’s because I’m afraid of them. One of the most malcontent signs, I swear to god! I’m only half-joking – I’ve had some Scorpio friends over the years, and I never really know where I stand with them. It actually makes perfect sense that SZA is a Scorpio, but what doesn’t make sense is that she apparently doesn’t f–k with Cancers. Out of all of the signs, you’re going to beef with THAT sign? Cancers are like Leos, only (somehow) more emotional. SZA gave a rundown of her songs and which songs go with which signs and she revealed that she doesn’t make music for Cancers.

SZA gave her honest take on which of her songs represent the twelve sign Zodiac. In a TikTok for Apple Music, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist spent two minutes pondering the Zodiac and its compatibility with her music.

“Hey, it’s SZA. Y’all know I be on my astrology things, so we’re gonna give you my songs but in astrology form,” she began. “I’ve seen some of you do this already on your own, so let’s see if I’m in alignment.”

A voiceover then reads off each sign, which SZA compares to the songs in her catalog. For Capricorn, the SOS artist thought of the “driest” song she’s made, which she said was “Nobody Gets Me.”

“Aquarius… That is like the most ‘alt’ song that I have,” she continued. “So that would be, like, “Ghost in the Machine.”

For Pisces, SZA chose “Special,” while “F2F” is saved for Aries. “You did it for the thrill,” she told the Aries community.

“Taurus is like grounded but turnt up,” SZA said, name-checking her Taurian friend, Kehlani. Strictly for the Bull sign, the artist called out SOS track “Gone Girl.”

Calling out Geminis for their “brilliance,” SZA mentioned “Blind,” but jokingly showed her distaste for Cancers immediately after. “Cancer…” she said before leaning back. “I don’t make Cancer music. Respectfully.” (But later, she cleared up the response on her Instagram Stories, showing love to her Cancerian mother.)

Calling “Conceited” the “Leo anthem,” she switched “Gone Girl” from Taurus to Virgos. “That wasn’t a Taurus song,” she clarified.

The singer-songwriter said Libras exude “huge “Love Galore” energy,” naming her 2017 Travis Scott-assisted single. When landing on her sign, Scorpio, SZA called the decision “tough.” “Most of the vengeful records, like, “[Smoking on My”] Ex Pack…” that’s a real Scorpio song.”

Shrieking when she she heard the word “Sagittarius,” SZA said she had to choose a song “that talks the most crazy.” “So, basically, “Supermodel” is pretty, just like, ‘Why did you just say that?”

I understand the flip of “Gone Girl” from Taurus to Virgo – we’re two sides of the same stubborn coin and we often vibe on the same kinds of things. I also like the fact that she showed respect to her Virgo sisters – she might feel the same way Virgos feel about Scorpios – wary respect, “please don’t f–k with me.” That being said, “Kill Bill” (a song about a woman murdering her ex) could be a Virgo anthem. I’m still sort of bewildered by SZA beefing with Cancers though? When Jennifer Lopez beefed with Virgos, I understood that sh-t (she’s a Leo). But is there some huge Scorpio-Cancer divide?

    As a Scorpio in a long-term relationship with a Cancer, I get it. Two drama-loving water signs for whom loyalty is a non-negotiable, betrayal the ultimate sin… two halves of the same coin fr! Scorpios find Cancers’ ability to wear their hearts on their sleeves cringe but secretly envy it.

    • DeltaJuliet says:

      My husband, oldest son and I are all Cancers. My younger son is a Scorpio. It’s…….interesting.

    • Cee says:

      I’m a Cancer with Scorpio Rising and Moon in Virgo.
      My friends joke I like to schedule drama.

    • Mabs A'Mabbin says:

      I have two Scorpio sons, I’m Cancer and my husband is Pisces… Water mayhem, geesh and poor little cancer me just wanting happiness and love in the home lol.

    • TRex says:

      Cancers and Scorpio’s usually go together very well. Perhaps she has history with someone who shares that sign and didn’t end well? My son is a cancer, and though people have the idea that they’re sensitive (they are), family oriented and loyal (yes and yes) they also think Cancer’s are a walk over (never make that mistake). Both of my parents are Scorpio’s, so I know how to survive them. Thank goodness for my Libra Sun/Aries rising and Sag Moon.

      • Mabs A'Mabbin says:

        No lie. We’re certainly not receptive to negativity in any form. As a cancer, I can turn my back to whomever, walk away and never look back without a tinge of guilt. Lol

      • Andrea says:

        Maybe it is the people I know, but I have heard about many Cancers (both male and female) cheating on their partners amongst my social circles. Also, celebrity Tom Sandoval on VPR comes to mind..

  2. SAS says:

    As a Cancer who has her album on repeat, I screamed. This is so funny.

    • C says:

      SAME. This wounds me more than it should. I mean c’mon – Special?! Def a Cancer song.

    • DeeSea says:

      Same here! I’m a SZA-loving Cancer, and she can’t stop me! Maybe she’d make an exception for me since I have Scorpio rising.

  3. Cel2495 says:

    Hahaha! I am a piscis with cancer rising and Sag moon … we crazy! Cancers are emotional but can destroy all so easily because of our sharp tongue and vengeful streak. It’s insane the thoughts I have when I been wronged… thank goodness for therapy’! 😉

    • tate says:

      i feel incredibly seen right now lol

    • Justwastingtime says:

      Scorpio here with a Scorpio father and two Scorpio kids. I never get the references as we all have pretty different personalities and at least two of the four are pretty nice. 🙂

    • Desi says:

      Actually the vengeful streak is more your Pisces sun, not your Cancer rising. It’s the sign that encompasses all signs. Pisces can hold onto perceived wrongs and wait to delegate revenge. They tend to feel a lot of self pity, because they normally feel magnanimous. Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter which is the planet associated with expansion…so they can really just let things get out of hand. That’s why they are the sign associated with addictions.

    • Andrea says:

      I am a Pisces Sun, with a Capricorn Moon and a Cancer Rising—also my Mercury and Venus are both in Pisces as well(so a lot of water). I am sensitive, but not very emotional surprisingly. I rarely cry. Not much of an angry person either. I guess my Capricorn Moon helps to ground me. My best friend and father are both Scorpios. I find Cancers can be well…very selfish from my experience and extremely hurtful with their words. These are just my observations from friends and ex bfs.

  4. Lucía says:

    Wait, so which song would fit us bulls the best, then? Did she say?? (I love her and her whole album btw)

  5. Bren says:

    As a Cancerian who had relationships with two Scorpios, I get it. Those two relationships were the most difficult for me to get over emotionally.

  6. Sakura says:

    I’m a Cancer, and Cancer and Scorpios are supposed to be one of the best matches for each other, so I don’t understand what SZA’s beef is. My man and I are both Cancers. Our relationship was more tumultuous when we were younger, but after 13 years together, we’ve learned to navigate those pesky Cancer traits. I had no problem with Sags until one stole my Libra boyfriend, then she promptly cheated on him shortly thereafter. So now I hate ’em lol.

  7. Cosmic says:

    Always catching strays as a Capricorn >:(

    • nolee says:

      lmao i was checking to see if someone else said this. conceited is 1000%%% for caps. but she doesn’t make music for us tbh. i thought SOS was gonna be about her levelling up but no it’s just her crying over an ex who cheated on her again. i go to snoh aalegra for my break up music because it at least feels like we’re on the same maturity level

  8. Minority Report says:

    I only read the first part, but co-sign. This Aries doesn’t FW Cancers either. 😂

  9. Nicole says:

    Water is water. Us Cancers are just an emotional lot, which is why I don’t date Cancer men. Give us a second look. 😉

  10. Pamela says:

    As a Scorpio also, I get it. Not that we dislike Cancers, but water signs have all the feels. It is exhausting living it. I cannot imagine living with someone else like myself. I get along best with Tauruses (my husband) and Capricorns. But it is true, most people who don’t know me well don’t know where they stand with me. We keep it close to the vest. Even my own sisters and parents did not get me, I was cast adrift in a sea of Aries (3 of them) and a Sagittarius. Only my Taurus sister got me a bit. Ah well. But the Cancers, I think are the most emotional of the water signs. No offense. But for me I cannot stand the Geminis. The two-faced business. Can’t handle it.

    • Cee says:

      I’m a Cancer surrounded by Geminis. It is a lot.

    • Andrea says:

      @Pamela My mother is a Gemini (I am a Pisces) and we have never gotten along. I find her extremely untrustworthy, unsafe, and narcissistic. She is VERY two-faced with everyone she encounters. My first bf was also a Gemini and I will never ever do that again.

  11. Blueberry🫐 says:

    I’m a Scorpio that had a 4-year loving relationship with the sweetest Cancer. Never had any issues. Don’t get the beef. lol!

  12. K says:

    Cancer/Gemini cusp here. Don’t @ us SZA we are just gonna love you anyway.

  13. Kate says:

    As a Virgo I definitely get why she would give us “gone girl” as an anthem. But I’ve always been partial to Prom. I love the “don’t take it personal” repeat

  14. Grant says:

    I mostly think astrology is silly (sorry!) but isn’t there way more to your sign that affects your personality beyond the main zodiac sign? Like the rising moon or sun sign or something?

    • Mabs A'Mabbin says:

      Yeah and I don’t get all that. I’m Cancer and there’s moon in there and other things I don’t understand. Mostly my Scorpio sons have the sun or something? Lmao!

    • BanjoVino says:

      Yes! In the most basic of explanations, your sun sign, which is what we’re talking about here, is your ego and sense of identity. Your rising sign is the essence of your personality and the way you navigate the world , and your moon sign is how you operate emotionally. Your mercury sign is how you communicate, mars sign is how you are motivated, etc. etc. It goes on.

  15. Kelsey says:

    ” Cancers are like Leos, only (somehow) more emotional.”

    As a Leo, how dare you? I’m with SZA on this one. Cancers suck. Perpetual victims of their own self destructive short sited demises LMAOOOOO.

    • adrienne says:

      As a fellow Leo, I love how we’re namechecked twice in this article. People say they hate us but we obviously stay on their minds LMAO. I also hate Cancers, I dated one for years and never ever again.

  16. BanjoVino says:

    As a Cancer my most passionate relationships have been with Scorpios! We just get each other. I love being a Cancer and when it comes to Cancer slander “I won’t hear it and I won’t respond to it.”

  17. TOPS says:

    Cancer did her dirty. This is just scorp petty revenge.

  18. Desi says:

    Two emotional water signs? Hahaha. Scorpio has those insightful sharp words and doesn’t hold back from what they see is the truth. Cancer is easily hurt and throws out all this passive aggression or hides in their shell sulking. Scorpio is more like let’s dig this out and deal with it.

  19. megz says:

    So what IS a Taurus song????

  20. Yourgirlstacy says:

    She isn’t wrong

  21. Zen says:

    Scorpio here and yes I’m secretive, mysterious and private but not malicious or mean. The funniest and most accurate description of scorpio I’ve seen is:
    “a scorpio can ignore you so hard you will start to doubt your own existence”
    Yup, that nails it.
