SZA has turned an online attack on an artist's work into an unexpected sale, buying two colourful balloon sculptures after spotting a commenter challenging anyone who bought a piece to let him match the purchase. The Grammy-winning singer said she came across the comments while Montreal artist Adam Nassih, who works under the name Loonsba, was being criticised online.
The commenter reportedly said the art was 'crap' and offered to match anyone who bought a piece, while SZA described him as 'threatening commenters left and right'. Rather than ignore the challenge, SZA responded by buying from Nassih and turning the exchange into a public show of support for the artist and his work.
