SZA's “Hot Ones” promo poster hints at “Lana” Deluxe

Frankly, SZA sightings are a rarity. Aside from the “Saturn” singer's sporadic posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), she has a great life offline.

So, SZA's upcoming appearance at Hot will surely be something fans will be fond of. But before the episode premieres on the First We Feast YouTube channel (currently scheduled for Thursday, September 26), SZA has already sent users online into a frenzy. The promotional poster (seen here) features SZA wearing completely alien-looking facial prosthetics. The look seems to be a nod to the look she previously teased online, which could be a hint at her highly anticipated album. Lana.

“Fun times at the pain farm ❤️,” SZA wrote in the Instagram comments.

However, fans really liked the outfit. Online users expressed their opinion on their pages.

“Solana, don’t scare me,” wrote A user.

“Oh, she’s going to piss me off,” echoed another.

“Girl, this is SZANT”, rung another.

“That’s a beetle, where is SZA,” jokingly asked A user.

Others speculated that this could actually be a reference to SZA’s highly anticipated follow-up to her record-breaking sophomore project, SOS.

“The ‘LANA’ tease”, wrote A user.

“AND THE ROLLOUT BEGINS” added another.

After premature leaks, SZA threatened to cancel the project. But she finally announced that she would publish the leaks as soon as SOS Deluxe and their new tracks on Lana.
