Doja Cat recently spoke with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, where she clarified a few misconceptions about herself.
“One thing I do wanna set straight is: You’ll never see a direct quote of me saying I hate my fans,” she referred to a post she made earlier this year. “Not once. But it’s a really big misquoted thing. Everybody is saying she hates her fans. Never said that, but I do like to play with that as a meme. I know that people who get it, get it. And I’m fine with that.”
She further explained, “I don’t have to explain my sense of humor and explain comedy to anyone. If people don’t see the joke, then they just don’t see the joke, and it’s not my responsibility to have them understand.”
In July, a fan tweeted the “Say So” singer asking her to say that she loves her fans, to which she responded “I don’t though cuz i don’t even know yall.” In the same month Doja also came at fans on Threads for using her government name as their screen name and calling themselves “Kittenz” — a name she’s referred to her fans as in the past.
“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f**king ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
Elsewhere in her conversation with Ebro, Doja clarified “dark” images found in her latest music videos like “Paint The Town Red.”
Critics claimed that the record-breaking artist was using satanic imagery, referring to a green monster with two horns in the visual.
“That was a painting I painted. My painting isn’t a **king weapon,” she spoke of the creature that she dances on top of in the video. “It isn’t offensive. It’s just a green goblin-y monster guy. … That was a really big piece for me. It was one of my proudest moments ever, and people wrote that off as Satanism, and it’s literally just a little green guy with horns and I’m standing on his head! Where’s the harm?”
Declaring that she’s not able to please everyone, she said, “I’m not gonna make everyone happy, and that’s just that. I’m just not, and I know that I’m not, so that’s freed me immensely.”
