SZA Announces Abrupt Split From Longtime TDE Manager Punch

As a dedicated fan who’s been following SZA’s journey since her days on SoundCloud, I must admit, this news about her parting ways with Punch has left me feeling a bit like a broken cassette tape skipping its favorite track. The bond between them was undeniably crucial in shaping the music we all love, and their collaboration produced some of the most beautiful melodies that resonated deeply within our hearts.

Singer SZA has confirmed the termination of her professional ties with Terrence “Punch” Henderson, head of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). This signifies the close of a collaboration that dates back over a decade, during which Punch guided SZA in the music industry. The news was shared on Instagram, where SZA openly disclosed that Punch had suddenly stepped down from his management duties, generating buzz among fans and industry observers.

“No reason to cheer. The close of a chapter. I hope he finds the best path forward for himself. To make it crystal clear, I have deep affection for Punch! Let’s not attack or mistreat him because we’re apart – sometimes, people grow distant and that’s all right.

Following the debut of the expanded album version titled SOS Deluxe: Lana, by SZA, there were some challenges during its release, such as delays and alterations to the tracklist at the last minute. SZA suggested that these issues might be due to a change in management. For the moment, she is dedicated to satisfying her fans. Besides finalizing the remaining songs from Lana, she has assured her supporters that her creative vision stays undeterred.
