Twitter Cancels Doja Cat A Day After Lana Del Rey's Instagram Rant

Posted by

Doja Cat became a trending Twitter topic on Friday evening (May 22) after an old video of herself allegedly laughing at racist jokes in an incel chatroom resurfaced online. [Editor’s Note: An incel is short for “involuntary celibate.” They’re members of an online subculture who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one.]

The video dropped just a day after she was named in Lana Del Rey’s controversial Instagram rant about double standards in the music industry.

However, the number of accusations flying around make it difficult to discern exactly where the #dojacatisoverparty hashtag began. Some people claim she said she would never want to be black, while others are saying she was stripping online for racist white men.

One Twitter user shared several screenshots that reveal a detailed conversation about the situation. The “Say So” artist is accused of “forcing herself to vomit, taking a crap on camera, showing herself naked and everything horrible.”

She’s also accused of undergoing numerous plastic surgeries, having “a thing for white guys” and consistently hanging out in racist websites.

Whatever the case, Twitter isn’t showing Doja any mercy — even with her “Say So (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj recently going No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Several people are connecting Doja’s current predicament to the Del Rey fiasco. During the singer-songwriter’s diatribe, she used several black women in the music industry in an attempt to prove a point and, consequently, she was dragged online.

“Question for the culture,” she began. “Now that Doja Cat, Ariana [Grande], Camila [Cabello], Cardi B, Kehlani, and Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc — can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money — or whatever I want without being crucified or saying I’m glamorizing abuse???
