Simone Biles and SZA battle for the best handstand as the singer nostalgically reflects on her past as a gymnast

SZA And Simone Biles met in the run-up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for a friendly competition and to celebrate their shared love of gymnastics.

The “Snooze” singer and the Olympic gold medalist looked like kindergarten best friends when they appeared together in the promotional video.

“It’s my dream to speak to you. I’m not kidding,” SZA gushed to Biles. “I was so excited because you are like my wildest dream (…) I’ve just never seen anything like you. No one has, but it’s just wow.”

Before the two engaged in a friendly handstand competition, Biles reminded SZA, “You can’t break a nail. You can’t hurt yourself.” To which the latter joked, “I don’t care about my nails. I’m scared of losing.”

SZA then practiced her handstand form while Biles excitedly cheered her on, “That’s good!” while clapping and squealing.

When the competition actually began, SZA almost knocked Biles over a few times, but it was all done with love. This was just the first part of the women sharing their shared love of the sport, as the video ended with “To be continued.”

The CTRL The singer previously spoke about her gymnastics past with Complex in 2013. “I was a gymnast for 13 years, so I was very into sports. I gave it all my attention. I was really good at sports and was captain of my team. I was hardcore USA Gymnastics,” she said.

SZA also credited her athletic career with expanding her musical influence, which made her the superstar she is today, despite her conservative upbringing.
