Doja Cat recently spoke with Ebro in a personal interview for Apple Music, which was released on Thursday (Dec. 14). The conversation addressed rumors that she has a dislike for her dedicated fans.
“One thing I do wanna set straight is: You’ll never see a direct quote of me saying I hate my fans. 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,” she explained.“I know that people who get it, get it. And I’m fine with that. 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.”
The discussion about Doja hating her fans began in July, when she criticized fans on Threads for using her government name and using “Kittenz,” her fandom name, saying,“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f—ing ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
Additionally, during the interview, she addressed claims that her music videos contain satanic imagery, especially in her video for “Paint the Town Red.” Regarding her dancing atop a green goblin in the video, she explained,“That was a painting I painted. My painting isn’t a f—ing weapon. 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?”
Ultimately, Doja understands that it’s impossible to always please fans, and she embraces that feeling.“I’m not gonna make everyone happy, and that’s just that,” she said. “I’m just not, and I know that I’m not, so that’s freed me immensely.”
