A frustrated SZA tweeted that she might have done permanent damage to her vocal cords while on tour the past 11 months.
The “All the Stars” singer was pulled recently from Top Dawg Entertainment’s The Championship Tour to give her cords a chance to heal, but in a series of tweets Tuesday she shared that her vocal issues haven’t improved and that she may never fully recover.
“My voice is permanently injured . Great !!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYUUYH!!!!!!!!’n,” she wrote.
“Tonight was the test . That settles that,” she added.
She said in her final tweet: “I jus wanna be left alone … I need space goodbye.”
SZA has since deleted the posts from her Twitter account.
The Championship Tour came through Oakland’s Oracle Arena earlier this month, with SZA and headliner Kendrick LaMar among the show’s biggest draws. But last week, Top Dawg announced that the R&B singer would miss an indefinite number of dates.

“I got some bad news. I have to take SZA off for a few days on the tour,” Top Dawg wrote on Instagram. “Her vocal chords are swollen and she have to rest her voice to prevent any permanent damage. We been monitoring her close and this is the reason she missed the Arizona and New Mexico dates. She’ll see the doctor again in a few days and I’ll update you guys on her status.”

SZA responded to the post with more details.
“I’ve been touring for 11 months. This didn’t happen overnight,” she wrote. “I’ve been troubleshooting for a while now and Usually steroids and pushing through help. They don’t this time. I’m not sick my voice just wont (expletive) work. If I don’t pause now I’ll be forced to pause permanently.”
