SZA's Compassionate Collab: 1400 Free Meals Amid SNAP Shutdown & Record-Shattering Tour
SZA BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
SZA has been in the headlines this week for her powerful charitable work as much as her continued domination in the music industry. According to BET and Revolt, the Grammy-winning artist responded to the government shutdown and the resulting SNAP benefits disruption by launching a major partnership through her nonprofit NOT Charity. Teaming up with Jon & Vinny’s, a beloved Los Angeles Italian restaurant, SZA helped launch a weeklong initiative from November 11 to November 18 to provide a total of 1400 free meals for local families struggling due to suspended food assistance. She announced the effort directly to her millions of followers on Twitter and Instagram, writing about the importance of community and sharing her love for the restaurant. Jon & Vinny’s confirmed that SZA herself reached out to spark the collaboration, and in typical SZA fashion, the messaging was passionate, playful, and deeply rooted in service—the meals have been made available for takeout and the campaign is seen as an extension of her ongoing work to bring healthy food to underserved communities, echoing previous charitable efforts such as her SZA CZA salad partnership with True Food Kitchen as reported by Black Enterprise. This move has been widely covered, with her actions praised by outlets like RatedRNB and HipTV, further cementing her reputation as an artist with a mission.
On the business and touring front, SZA’s ongoing co-headlining Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar continues to shatter records. HotNewHipHop recently reported that the tour has become the highest-grossing hip hop tour of all time, already pulling in more than 332 million dollars with several stadium shows still ahead, and the Los Angeles stop once again sold out. The tour, which she kicked off in April, has generated both immense buzz and a bit of controversy—SZA explained in a recent GQ interview her decision to keep performing “Rich Baby Daddy” despite Kendrick’s much-publicized feud with Drake, stating that she did not want to be pulled into conflicts between peers, and chose to focus on the music and her artistry. This rare, candid public comment has been widely circulated on music and entertainment blogs.
Social media has been popping with SZA mentions tied to both her charitable efforts and some playful speculation. On Instagram, her joint posts with Jon & Vinny’s about the meal giveaway drew massive engagement, while a November 15 post tagging Steve Lacy has fans speculating about a potential collaboration, though neither party has confirmed anything yet. Meanwhile, a SZA-themed music tribute is scheduled in Atlanta on November 21, with tributes and viral clips flooding fan accounts per the event’s Instagram page.
In industry news, Sony Music’s Q3 sales report highlighted a bump attributed partially to streaming gains from artists in SZA’s genre, while financial reports and music business sources like Mabumbe underscore SZA’s growing brand, including recent collaborations and potential business moves on the horizon. Her fortune is estimated at around 12 million dollars as of 2025, a figure poised to grow as the tour winds down and press whispers say a major endorsement deal could soon break. But as always, SZA is letting the music and her actions for the community speak loudest, making this past week another milestone chapter in her ongoing story.
