SZA Parts Ways with Manager Punch

SZA and manager Punch have officially parted ways.

After a few back and forth messages on Twitter, the superstar singer confirmed that she’s split with her long-time manager, Terrence Henderson, known as Punch from Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). “Nothing to celebrate. The end of an era. I wish him the best” she commented on a post on Instagram after speculation ran following SZA unfollowing Punch on Twitter and Instagram.

SZA and Punch have had a volatile relationship for long and the singer has expressed her frustration about her management several times on social media, even claiming back in 2020 that she was in a “hostile” relationship with Punch and TDE.

While confirming the split on Wednesday night, SZA asked fans to be easy on Punch.

Punch has previously commented on the fan theories that he’s ruining SZA’s career. “It’s amazing watching mob mentality in real-time,” he wrote last year when SOS was rolling out. “Absolute lies and misinformation can snowball into being what the public perceive as truth.”

He continued, “I laugh and play into a lot because I understand that a lot of the time people need a face to blame. a bad guy if you will lol. I rather it be me. I rather take the hits.”

SZA released the deluxe version of SOS titled Lana last week.
