In a recent turn of events, Doja Cat, the 28-year-old rapper known by her real name Amala Raina Zandile Dlamini, took to her social media platforms to extend an apology to her fans. The expression of remorse came in response to the perceived shortcomings of her recent concert performance.
On Thursday night, Doja Cat utilized her Instagram Stories to share a snapshot of a broken snack alongside a candid message addressing her fans in New Jersey. She wrote, “I’m so sorry, New Jersey. I don’t know what that was, and I’m really not happy with my energy tonight.”
The apology follows her recent appearance at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, as part of The Scarlet Tour. Despite her expressed dissatisfaction with the energy of the performance, Doja Cat is scheduled to continue her tour with the next show set to take place in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday.
While the rapper may have faced challenges in satisfying the New Jersey audience, it’s worth noting that she has previously garnered praise from acclaimed artists, including the likes of Adele. During one of Adele’s Las Vegas residency performances, the multi-Grammy-winning artist took a moment to pause her own set and express admiration for Doja Cat and her latest album. Adele remarked, “Also, I’m a huge fan of Doja Cat and her new album…I just think she’s fantastic. I think she’s great.”
The contrast between Doja Cat’s recent apology and the previous commendation from a renowned artist adds an intriguing layer to her current tour journey. Fans will undoubtedly be watching eagerly as the rapper navigates through the rest of The Scarlet Tour, anticipating the unique energy she brings to each performance.
