In the realm of online feuds and controversies, Doja Cat has never been one to shy away from defending herself. The multi-talented artist recently took to her Instagram Stories to set the record straight regarding her opinions on fellow musicians and online critics.
Doja Cat left no room for ambiguity as she made it explicitly clear that her admiration is reserved for artists such as Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, while firmly asserting her lack of respect for online detractors.
“People don’t wanna accept I’m dissing them, so they try to pin it on Cardi, Nicki, and Meg, and every other female rapper,” declared the artist. She further emphasized her stance, stating, “I don’t diss rappers I admire; I diss critics. Stay bored. Stay reaching.”
However, Doja Cat’s message extended beyond these initial statements. She went on to elaborate, making it abundantly clear where she stands on the matter: “I don’t diss people I’m inspired by; I don’t diss people I look up to.”
In her message, the cover girl underscored her perspective, emphasizing, “I don’t diss people who don’t attack and harass me every day.”
In no uncertain terms, she spelled it out, “TO BE 100% CLEAR because I know you all need me to talk REEEEAL SLOOOOOOW for you; I’m not dissing anyone but the f***in phonies in my comment sections.”
This statement from Doja Cat came on the heels of her recent announcement regarding changes to her upcoming album, Scarlet. The album had been marred by controversy when fans noticed striking similarities between its cover and that of the German band Chaver, both of which were designed by Portland-based artist Dusty Ray.
Doja Cat’s candid clarification serves as a reminder of her unapologetic approach to addressing online criticism and defending her artistic choices.
