SZA has recently addressed speculations she’s to fill in for Justin Bieber at Coachella 2026 on April 11.

The Kill Bill singer reportedly responded to a rumour that’s been circulating online, saying, that she’s being paid to fill in for the Swag hit-maker.

It is pertinent to mention that the joint post between Blind Items and Music Life shared an image of SZA with the headline, ‘SZA ALLEGEDLY PAID SIX FIGURES TO STAY COACHELLA-READY IN CASE JUSTIN BIEBER DROPOFF.’

Within few hours, the songstress, born as Solana Imani Rowe, clarified in the comment section under April 10 Instagram post, saying, “Lmao who made this up.”

“I’ve seen this 4 times now. I’m in New York no one paid me a dime. Wishing everyone the best,” wrote the Good Days singer, who was said to be act as a backup performer at the festival in case Justin didn’t show up.

Interestingly, SZA and Justin did collaborate on her song, Snooze, so fans expressed hope that she might make a cameo during Justin’s set at the festival.

One fan said, “did yall forget bieber is in one of her videos / songs… she might pop up on his set atp.”

Another remarked, “@sza baby girl just come we want to see you.”

However, Justin finally performed at the festival while he merged old songs with new ones on stage.

The singer also sung his most famous song, Baby, while the original version was being played in the background among his set list of songs.

This music festival marked the singer’s biggest live show in four years following the cancellation of Justice world tour due to health scare.

Meanwhile, the singer's comeback show left fans disappointed with his setlist and performance.
