SZA Has A New Man … And He’s A Superstar! Singer Dating Country Sensation Shaboozey
SZA just leveled up in her love life. Media Take Out can confirm that the SOS singer is officially dating country music superstar Shaboozey, making this the highest-profile relationship of her career so far.
How They Met
According to insiders, the two first connected during SZA’s recent world tour, when Shaboozey — who’s been riding a wave of chart-topping success blending hip hop and country — came backstage at one of her shows. Sparks flew instantly, and the pair have quietly been seeing each other ever since.
Now, multiple sources tell us they are officially a couple. “This isn’t just a fling,” one insider explained. “They really vibe with each other, and it’s already getting serious.”

A Big Win For Both Careers
For SZA, this relationship marks a major shift. While the superstar has always been private about her dating life, she’s never been linked to a man this prominent. Shaboozey is a rising crossover star in his own right, with industry respect and mainstream buzz.
“This is a power couple situation,” one music exec told us. “They look good together, they make sense together, and it’s only going to boost both of their brands.”
Brown Girls Winning!
Fans online have already started making the connection: SZA is the latest “brown girl” superstar to bag a high-value man.
- SZA + Shaboozey: chart-topping soul queen meets country king.
- Megan Thee Stallion is happily dating NBA baller Klay Thompson.
- Coco Jones is engaged to her NBA star fiancé, Donovan Mitchell.
It’s a trend — and people are loving it. “The brown girls are winning,” one fan tweeted. “They’re securing successful men who actually match their energy.”

Meanwhile … The Exoticals Struggle
But not everyone is faring as well in the dating department. The so-called “lite skin and exotical” crowd is taking Ls, and social media is having a field day pointing out the contrast:
- Cardi B is pregnant again by NFL star Stefon Diggs … a man who, according to reports, has been caught cheating repeatedly and allegedly isn’t even claiming her pregnancy.
- Ella Mai recently had a baby with NBA player Jayson Tatum, only for Tatum to move on and leave her looking like just another baby mama.
- Latto, despite her success, is still tied to married rapper 21 Savage, stuck in “side piece” territory with no real commitment.
- Ice Spice, recently split with superstar NFL baller Sauce Gardner shortly after he signed a huge new contract.

Fans are calling it a “tale of two lanes” — with the brown-skinned stars flourishing while the so-called exoticals are getting played.
What’s Next For SZA & Shaboozey?
Insiders say SZA and Shaboozey are keeping things fun and private for now, but don’t be surprised if they go public soon. “They’re already going places together, already acting like a real couple,” a source close to the pair dished.
And with both of them in their prime career moments, the timing couldn’t be better.
SZA may sing about heartbreak, but with Shaboozey on her arm, it looks like she’s finally found a man who hits all the right notes.
