SZA: I’m so inspired by you. I know I said it via DM, but you’re setting a precedent for women and for artists all around. And I think it’s very, very important that you continue saying that s*** and speaking for all of us. I’m always surprised and warmed by the agency you have over yourself and over this space. I hope you’re doing it the way that you want to do it. Do you feel that way?

ROAN: I think so. I think that I’m doing it the way I want to, but not everyone likes that. I will yell at a b**** on the carpet. I think that right now in my career, I’m just trying to see if the way I’ve been doing it is sustainable. Am I okay with the backlash of speaking my mind? That’s where I am right now.

SZA: I guess I wondered if you gave a f*** about the backlash.

ROAN: I didn’t, until people started hating me for me and not for my art. When it’s not about my art anymore, it’s like, “They hate me because I’m Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.” That’s when it changed.

SZA: Well, they literally don’t know Kayleigh.

ROAN: Exactly. They don’t. But when things are taken out of context, people assume so much about you. I didn’t realize I’d care so much. When it comes to my art, I’m like, “Bitch, you can think whatever you want. You are allowed to hate it with all your guts.” But when it comes to me and my personality, it’s like, “Damn. Am I the most insufferable b**** of our generation?” Laughs
