Doja Cat is in hot water after making a bold statement to parents who allow their children to attend her concerts: "Leave your mistake at home."
The rapper took to X to remind parents that her music contains highly explicit lyrics, and asked why people bring their "offspring to my show" given the nature of her performances .
Doja's Scarlet era has leaned heavily into sensual and sexual topics. At her recent Coachella performance, she sported garments such as a fluffy thong and a bodysuit comopsed of blond hair. The show featured female dancers mud wrestling, and ended with a song titled "Wet Vagina."
Doja has never been a "kid friendly" artist. Her 2012 track "So High," which led to her signing with Kemosabe Records begins with the lyrics: "Blow, weed, coke, pop X."
With her risque image and explicit lyrics, it's understandable that Doja may expect a more mature crowd at her concerts. Her fiery address on social media was, nonetheless, explosive.
She finished off her series of tweets with another bold declaration: "idk what the f-- you think this is but i don't make music for children so leave your kids at home motherf---er."
One fan replied to the strongly worded message with a tongue-in-cheek joke: "I thought you made gospel songs."
"Like leave ya kids at ya grandmas and put on some kidzbop," agreed another.
Others found Doja's words to be -- at bare minimum -- unkind and at most, offensive: "I know u not calling kids mistakes doja that's very offensive," wrote one X user. Another was direct, telling the rapper, "LOG OUT!"
Doja's three-tweet tirade earned the Scarlet singer a total of over 75,000 likes on the platform. Whether people are in agreement or in shock at her words, they're certainly tuning in to see what the "Demonz" rapper has to say.
This isn't Doja's first time speaking out against her fans. She infamously took to Threads last July, where she responded to a fan asking Doja to say that she loves her fans to which the star replied: ""I don't though cuz i don't even know yall." She similarly attacked her fanbase for naming themselves "Kittenz."
"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," she wrote.
She threatened to quit music -- for two whole days -- after fans in Paraguay expressed their disappointment in the rapper ignoring their country after her show was canceled. She changed her username to I Quit and expressed her frustrations online, saying "i f--in quit i can't wait to f--ing disappear and i don't need you to believe in me anymore."
Two days after announcing her departure from music, she appeared on Instagram with an apology for fans, in which she tweeted, "I can learn about the world, and I can give back to everyone because of you. I do owe people s--. I owe a lot."
Doja posted her parent-focused rant around 3 a.m., which begs the question: Will she backtrack on this explosive statement?
