SZA has been moving at full speed for quite some time,  and it may have finally caught up with her.

Last week, her label boss Top Dawg said he had to pull her off the “Championship Tour” because her vocal chords were badly strained.

He also said if she didn’t rest her voice, there could be permanent damage, which now may be the case.

In a series of now deleted tweets, the “Love Galore” songstress said her voice has been permanently affected, and she now wants some time alone.

“My voice is permanently injured. Great,” wrote SZA. “Tonight was the test. That settles that. I just wanna be left alone. My priorities are f—ed up. They been f—ed up. I need space. Goodbye.”

Ever since she grew a buzz with her debut EP “See. SZA. RUN” in 2012, the New Jersey native has kept a love, hate relationship with fame and the music industry. Just last year, one month after her first album “CTRL,” she was already talking about walking away from everything and moving on to another profession.

In that same interview, SZA said she may follow in her father’s footsteps one day and work in mass communications, especially since she studied it in school. She also said there was a possibility that “CTRL” would be her last album but later back tracked and said her sophomore effort would be her last.

“I’m still miserable,” she told Flaunt. “My world got so much smaller so fast. I have so much to write about. I feel like I’m in a cage. I’m making the best album of my life for this next album and I know that, because it’s going to be my last album.”

But in that same interview, SZA said she’ll probably continue to make music, because there’s other things she wants to accomplish. “God didn’t give me the Grammys, because he knows I would have quit, like ‘I have nothing else to do,” she explained.
