Considering everything going on in the vast and reckless world of rap, it might be in Ben Stiller’s best interest right now to please SZA.
No, I’m not saying SZA is going to tell Kendrick Lamar to secretly diss Stiller on his next Drake record, but I’m not saying it can’t happen either. It’s not that Stiller and SZA have gone bad, but the fact that he’s in the “I Hate U” frontman’s continued anxiety and impatience as he awaits the return of Apple TV’s #### series “Severance” played an important role. Stiller, the show’s executive producer and director, should consider himself lucky that he recently got a taste of SZA’s wrath on Twitter (X).
“I’m trying to be polite but I really need a severance package for a new season right now,” SZA wrote in a tweet earlier this week.
“Okay, got it,” Stiller wrote in a reluctant reply.
Ok, got it https://t.co/pMaaHySqGA

All I know is that Ben Stiller better not just say “ok” just to temporarily silence SZA because I know he doesn’t want to be Kendrick Lamar after Meet the Grahams The point of laughter. No, but honestly, all jokes aside, just like SZA, we all need a second season AF###ing-SAP! SZA’s tweet got around 5 million views, so it’s clear viewers are here waiting for the new season to air.

For those of you who don’t know, let me tell you quickly. “Severance” is a gripping Apple TV series set in a dystopian parallel universe where employees undergo a “severance” process that divides their memories and consciousness into work and personal, or “Innie” and “Outie” character.
The story follows Mark, a soon-to-be widower played by Adam Scott, as he navigates the blurred lines between his fragmented work and personal life at a mysterious company. As Mark delves into the company’s secrets and his wife’s death, he uncovers a web of intrigue that questions the true nature of reality and the sacrifices that corporate life requires. The show deftly blends elements of psychology and science fiction thrillers with elements of a heartbreaking romance. It gets really confusing, and SZA’s stance makes my complete obsession with this series sane.
