SZA to Hang Out With One Lucky Fan for ‘Freedom for Sudan’ Auction: ‘Anything to Raise Awareness’

SZA fans aren’t going to want to snooze on a new opportunity to hang out with the star one on one, an experience she’s offering up to support Freedom for Sudan’s cause.

In an Instagram post on Monday (Jan. 5), SZA boosted the announcement that she’ll be auctioning off a personal fan experience for Freedom for Sudan’s upcoming fundraiser. The hangout will take place on Zoom, unless the highest bidder also lives in Los Angeles.

“I WANNA ADD THAT IF YOU LIVE IN LA WE CAN HANG OUT IN PERSON !!!” the hitmaker wrote in her caption, sharing one of the auction posters. “ANYTHING TO RAISE AWARENESS AND SUPPORT.”

In the comments, SZA teased what the winner can expect from their time together. “WE CAN DO ANYTHING!!” she wrote. “SING CRY DO YOGA MEDITATE TALK S–T ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS DANCE LISTEN TO MUSIC BECOME BESTIES , MAKE MOOD BOARDS TOGETHER AND PLAN FUTURE HANG OUTS !!! ALL TYPES OF S–TTT CALL MEEEEE.”

In addition to the hangout, SZA is putting up a signed five-piece merchandise bundle for the six-day auction, which kicks off Tuesday (Jan. 6). Other famous participants include The Weeknd, who will auction off two premium tickets to one of his future concerts, and Olivia Rodrigo, whose specific contribution hasn’t been announced. Central Cee, PinkPantheress and more are taking part as well.

“Get closer to your favourite artists & support the people of Sudan in their mission to end the violence and exploitation and rebuild with a civilian government,” reads a description of the auction on Freedom for Sudan’s Instagram. “100% of proceeds to Sudanese non-profits.”

The new initiative comes amid a period of turmoil for the people of Sudan, who have reportedly faced famine and alleged genocidal violence since civil war broke out in April 2023. According to BBC News, more than 120,000 people had died in the conflict as of November 2025.

SZA has also been on a charitable streak in recent months. In December, she performed at Top Dawg Entertainment’s annual benefit concert, and the month prior, she teamed up with Los Angeles restaurant Jon & Vinny’s to provide 1,400 free meals in partnership with her Not Charity.
