Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is referred to in SZA’s new album. Now, before the alarm bells being to sound, there’s no romantic significance in the lyrics directed at Brady. So, what does SZA have to say about newly single Tom Brady?
Tom Brady makes a surprise appearance in the globally acclaimed album
The lyrics of the artist’s first song on the album ‘SOS’ includes a verse featuring two popular athletes. Tom Brady, the face of American football, and two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant appear on the track. The lyrics read, “Talkin’ I’m off the bench like Brady, I’m pressin’ n***** like KD,” So why is SZA comparing herself to Brady and Durant?
The artist is essentially trying to allude to the fact that she is at the top of her game. Both Brady and Durant are veterans and examples of what the pinnacle of athleticism looks like. Tom Brady is the most accomplished player in the NFL. With 23 seasons and 7 Super Bowl wins under his belt, there isn’t much that he hasn’t already done.
Despite having a rough season, Brady is arguably the most accomplished QB in the league. This year has been tough for Bady both on and off the field. TB12 went through a very public divorce while being in the spotlight for his mediocre performance on the field. But the 45-year-old quarterback is still relentlessly pursuing his goals.

Brady and SZA have another link connecting the two of them
The inclusion of Brady’s name in her song is not the only thing that ties SZA with the GOAT. The artist and the QB also share a special bond with a common individual. Both SZA and Brady have a connection with the Indian mystic, Sadhguru. The two have had separate interactions with Sadhguru and seem to make his teachings a part of their lifestyle. Brady has also featured the mystic on his podcast ‘Let’s Go!’.
The sports and entertainment worlds have grown much closer than ever before. With the influence of social media and the emergence of massively followed sports leagues, a big chunk of athletes has considerably more influence than other celebrities. The intersection of entertainment and sports is more prominent than ever. SZA name-dropping Brady in her song is one tiny droplet in a vast ocean. Hip-hop artists frequently include athletes in their songs. With an ever-expanding digital space, the boundaries that once clearly defined different industries and their influence are slowly ceasing to exist.
