Doja Cat said what she said. She would rather relax with friends instead.
“I’m literally just Amala and I like to chill,” Doja Cat, 27, wrote on Monday, September 25, referring to her birth name, Amala Dlamini. In the second photo of the Instagram gallery, the rapper poses in a bikini with his girlfriend while posing on the side of a cliff. In the slides that follow, the “Paint The Town Red” singer mustered up the courage to take the plunge. After some hesitation, Doja Cat paused and made her second biggest splash of the week, the first being the release of her fourth album. Scarlet.
Other slides in the gallery show Doja Cat living her best life, no matter what her haters say. The first photo shows her enjoying a barbecue, while the other shows her posing in front of a row of wine barrels with a full glass in hand. The third slide shows Doja Cat getting dangerous using a pool noodle as she hits her friend a couple of times. There was also a photo of Doji and her friend (who jumped off the cliff with her) relaxing by the lake with their feet up.
The gallery ended with a video of Doja Cat leading her friends who were playing the card game “Bad People” in a rousing rendition of “Kristen’s Gonna Preheat The Oven.”
Doja Cat shared a video from the same hangout session on September 23, which shows her friend Kristen trying to sing along Gwen Stefani“Hollaback Girl” Doja, who was wearing her new “Welcome to Hollywood, Beware of the Tramps” T-shirt, tried to show off her friend.
“Shop all the new Doja Cat merchandise now. Available at DojaCat.com. I’m better than Kristen, but she’s very good at it,” the rapper wrote to “Attention.”
This chill moment comes as Doja Cat celebrates the release of her new album. Receiving mostly positive reviews (“Doja Cat is exactly what the world needs today,” writes the American songwriter), Scarlet scored 72 on Metacritic from 10 reviews and gave Doja Cat her second No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100—and her first as a solo artist—with “Paint The Town Red.”
On Halloween (October 31), Doja will embark on The Scarlet Tour, his first North American tour. Ice Spice And Doechi will join Doja on select dates on the Scarlet Tour.
Earlier in 2023, Doja Cat had a series of incidents with her fans. She criticized a fan for using her “government name” as a nickname, calling it “creepy as hell.” Doja Cat said that anyone who calls themselves “Kittens,” the fan’s unofficial name, should “turn off the phone, get a job and help your parents around the house.” Many Doja Cat Stan accounts were deactivated in protest.
