It is reported that as a black rhythm and Blues (r b) singer, SZA said in April this year that she was subjected to racial discrimination in a Sephora store in Calabasas, California.
SZA said that at that time, a Sephora clerk named Sandy called the security guard to confirm that the singer did not steal the goods in the store.
SZA tweeted: 'we talked for a long time. Good luck, Sandy. '
Sephora replied on the singer's Twitter: "you are a member of Sephora's family. We are committed to ensuring that every member of our group feels at home and can integrate into our store."
