SZA has taken to social media to address her verse leak on "Calling My Phone" -- a track by 6LACK and Lil Tjay.

SZA began by explaining the reason she's not on the final version of the song. "Lmao as for the 'calling my phone' verse ... I'm mad y’all leaked it .. but glad y’all liked it?” she tweeted. "I punked out of turning it in … happens a lot actually. I be feeling like I can't add anything to songs that are already fire. Respect to @liltjay + @6LACK."

The "Kill Bill" singer went on to explain that her reasoning for not turning in the song isn't because of a lack of confidence. "It's more a respect thing to the artist! I literally only wanna give the best of me especially if the song is already popular. If I can’t magnify it, I fall back," she wrote in response to a fan's tweet.

Similarly to fans, 6lack and Lil TJay liked her verse and publically commended her for it. "[Not gonna lie] I listened with my hands over my ears 'cause it felt like a sin. Sound like butter tho," 6LACK responded, while Tjay replied, "Mannnnnn I got some shit better for you [right now]. You know that's what they want!"
