After a hiatus from releasing music and the uneventful rollout of her debut studio album, Amala (2018), Doja Cat earned viral success as an internet meme with her 2018 single "Mooo!", a novelty song in which she makes satirical claims about being a cow. Capitalizing on her growing popularity, she released her second studio album, Hot Pink, in the following year. It reached the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Say So", in which the remix featuring Nicki Minaj topped the Billboard Hot 100. Her third album, entitled Planet Her (2021), spent three consecutive weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned the top 10 singles "Kiss Me More" (featuring SZA), "Need to Know", and "Woman".

Described by The Wall Street Journal as "a skilled technical rapper with a strong melodic sense and a bold visual presence",[1] Doja Cat is known for creating music videos and songs that achieve popularity on social media websites such as TikTok. She is also well-versed in internet culture herself, and is famed for her absurdly humorous personality and online presence.[2][3][4][5] She has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including one Grammy Award from sixteen nominations, five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, and three MTV Video Music Awards.

Early life

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini was born on October 21, 1995, in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, into an artistic family.[6][7][8][9][10] Her mother, Deborah Sawyer, is an American graphic designer of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage,[11][12] and her father, Dumisani Dlamini, is a South African performer of Zulu descent,[13] best known for starring as Crocodile in the original Broadway cast of the musical Sarafina! and the 1992 film adaptation.[14][15] The two had a brief relationship after meeting in New York City where Dumisani performed on Broadway, but he was too busy on tour to spend time with Amala and her brother.[12] He claims to have left his family in the US for South Africa out of homesickness, in the hopes that they would join him there,[16] yet Dlamini has on multiple occasions suggested that she is estranged from her father, claiming that she "never met him".[17][18][19] Her father has denied these claims, claiming that he has a "healthy" relationship with his daughter and that her management team had tried to block all his attempts to contact her out of the fear that they might lose her.[20][16]

Soon after her birth, Dlamini moved from Tarzana to Rye, New York, where she lived for five years with her maternal grandmother, an architect and painter.[12][21] At the age of eight, Dlamini moved with her mother and brother and returned to California to live at the Sai Anantam Ashram, a commune in Agoura Hills,[12] and practiced Hinduism for four years.[22][23] The swami and founder of the commune was American jazz musician Alice Coltrane (known by the Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda).[24] While living at the commune, Dlamini started wearing head-covering scarves and singing bhajans at temple,[9] yet felt like she could not properly "be a kid" at the ashram.[25][22] Her family then moved to Oak Park,[12] where she started attending dance lessons and experienced a "sporty childhood", often skateboarding and visiting Malibu for surf camps.[26][24] Dlamini and her brother also experienced harsh racism as they were some of the only mixed-race children in the area.[12] She claims to have lacked interest in school from then on, instead taking a liking for dance.[27] While at the ashram she had been dancing the style of Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam.[24] As she grew older and moved away from the ashram, she moved on to breakdancing classes and joined a professional poplocking troupe with whom she competed in dance battles throughout Los Angeles while still attending high school.[10] Her aunt, a vocal coach, had given Dlamini singing lessons to help her audition for Central Los Angeles Area New High School #9, a performing arts high school in Los Angeles.[24][12][28] She frequently skipped school to participate in online chatrooms.[29] After becoming discouraged about her education and career path, Dlamini claims that she realized in eleventh grade that "performing and music was all [she] ever cared about."[30] She eventually dropped out at age 16 while in her junior year.[31] She also attributes this act to her struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), saying that "it felt like I was stuck in one spot and everybody else was progressing constantly".[12]

Career

2012–2017: Career beginnings and record deal

Doja Cat has described life after dropping out of school as "messy", claiming that she slept on the floor and spent "all night and day" browsing the internet, looking for beats and instrumentals from YouTube which she downloaded and used to create her own music.[32][33] After becoming fascinated with internet culture and websites like EBaum's World and Myspace,[30] she taught herself to sing, rap and use GarageBand while at home without a job, frequently making music and uploading it to SoundCloud.[10][33][32] In late 2012, "So High" became the first permanent upload on her SoundCloud account.[32] Doja Cat began her career in the Los Angeles underground hip-hop scene, performing at parties and cyphers, and connecting with rappers such as Busdriver, Ill Camille and VerBS, the latter of whom claims to have helped hone her craft and find her first gig.[34] It was during this time that she met producer Jerry "Tizhimself" Powell, who had stumbled upon her SoundCloud account.[34] He introduced her to record producer Yeti Beats,[34] who invited her to record at his studio in the neighbourhood of Echo Park, which also served as "an oasis of sorts for Doja to escape from the turmoil at home".[12] Yeti Beats then connected her with Kemosabe Records, an imprint of RCA Records, where she signed under label executive Dr. Luke and his publishing company Prescription Songs at the age of 17.[9][21][35][36] This deal also came with a temporary artist management partnership with Roc Nation.[21]

In August 2014, Doja Cat released her debut EP, Purrr!, described as "spacey, eastern-influenced R&B" by The Fader.[37] "So High" was repackaged and released as her solo commercial debut single prior to the EP's release,[35] and was later featured on the Fox series Empire in the third episode of the show's first season.[38] In mid-2015, Doja Cat temporarily signed to OG Maco's label, OGG.[39] Following the signing, in late 2016, Maco and Doja Cat collaborated on the song "Monster", from Maco's 2017 mixtape, Children of The Rage.[40] She had started experiencing writer's block, which led her to decline American singer Billie Eilish's offer to feature on what would later become her popular 2017 single "Bellyache".[41] Doja Cat would stop releasing music for a while amid what she describes as a "creative limbo", which was influenced by her record labels not paying her much attention, as well as the effects of "finding herself" and smoking too much marijuana.[12]

2018–2019: Amala and "Mooo!"

Her first major commercial release in four years, Doja Cat released the song "Roll with Us" in February 2018 following a brief hiatus.[42] The following month, she released "Go to Town" as the lead single from her debut album, with an accompanying music video.[43] "Candy" was released as the album's second single that same month.[44] The track would later become a sleeper hit after a "dance challenge" on the video-sharing platform TikTok went viral in late 2019.[45] The single consequently charted in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, with the latter having the song peak at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this her first solo entry on the chart.[46]

On March 30, 2018, Doja Cat's debut studio album Amala was released through RCA and Kemosabe Records, and included the three singles.[47] Its release was largely uneventful,[48][49] as it was ignored by critics and failed to chart in any market.[50][51] Doja Cat has since expressed strong disdain toward the record, claiming that it doesn't entirely represent her as an artist and that it isn't a "finished album" since she was constantly partying or high on marijuana during its recording.[52][53][54] She claims it was also rushed in order to meet deadlines from the record labels who paid it "almost no support".[55]

In August 2018, Doja Cat self-published the homemade music video for "Mooo!", a novelty song with absurdist lyrics in which she fantasizes about being a cow.[56] The video promptly garnered viral success as an internet meme, attaining over three million views in one week.[57][58][59] Due to popular demand following this viral success, the single version of "Mooo!" was released onto digital platforms later that month as the lead single from the deluxe edition of Amala.[60] This was followed by the release of the second single, "Tia Tamera" featuring Rico Nasty, and its accompanying music video in February 2019.[61] The full deluxe edition of Amala was released on March 1, 2019, and featured the bonus tracks "Mooo!", "Tia Tamera" and "Juicy".[51] The success of "Mooo!" is believed to have "irrefutably proved" to her record labels that Doja Cat was a marketable artist, which led them to start paying more attention to her.[12]

2019–2020: Breakthrough with Hot Pink

A remix version of Doja Cat's song "Juicy", from the deluxe version of Amala, added a verse from American rapper Tyga and was released alongside a music video in August 2019 as the lead single from her second studio album.[62] Following the release of the remix, the song debuted at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Doja Cat's first entry on the chart, and ultimately peaked at number 41.[51] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) would later award the song a platinum certification in the United States.[63] The song's success led to Amala debuting for the first time on the Billboard 200 chart that same month.[51] In October 2019, Doja Cat released "Bottom Bitch", the second single from her second album.[64] This was followed by the release of the single "Rules" alongside the announcement of her second studio album Hot Pink.[65] Hot Pink was released on November 7, 2019, to generally favorable reviews. The album would eventually peak at number 9 on the Billboard 200.[66] Doja Cat was meant to feature on a track titled "Broward Coward" from an early version of the late XXXTentacion's fourth studio album, Bad Vibes Forever,[67][68] however the song was ultimately scrapped when the album tracklist was completely revised for its posthumous release in December 2019.[69] She later released the single "Boss Bitch" as part of the soundtrack for the 2020 film Birds of Prey.[70]

Artistry

Influences

 
Doja Cat names Nicki Minaj (pictured) as her biggest influence.

Doja Cat has cited Nicki Minaj as her biggest influence.[176][177] In a Billboard interview, Doja Cat stated that she is "in love with everything Nicki Minaj has put out into the world."[178] On the song "Get Into It (Yuh)" from her third studio album, Planet Her (2021), she pays tribute to Minaj and borrows lyrics and rap delivery from her debut 2010 single "Massive Attack".[179][180] Critics noted that the album as whole was largely influenced by Minaj herself[181][182][183] with The New Yorker noting that she "build[s] upon the pop-rap legacy established by her predecessor Nicki Minaj".[184] She has also named Lauryn Hill and Busta Rhymes as some of her biggest influences.[185][186] While speaking about Busta Rhymes, she stated: "if I hear a beat Busta Rhymes would absolutely kill, I'll use my voice to do a flow similar to his."[54]

Additionally, Doja Cat has cited Rihanna,[187][35] Beyoncé,[188][189] D'Angelo,[187] Missy Elliott,[190] Christina Aguilera,[191] and Lil' Kim [192]among her major influences. She draws inspiration from her background engaging in online activities and delving into sub-cultures as a suburban teenager,[29] as well as the artists her mother exposed to her as a child such as Fugees, Erykah Badu, Jamiroquai, Earth, Wind & Fire, Black Eyed Peas, Tupac, Aaliyah, DMX, India Arie, and TLC.[54][193][21] The Hindu culture of her childhood as well as Japanese culture have also been noted as sources of inspiration for Purrr! (2014) and other aspects of her early career.[194][195] In an interview with Big Boy, she stated her admiration for Janet Jackson and Prince.[189]

Stage name and persona

As a teenager in 2012, Doja Cat gained her stage name from one of her cats as well as her favorite strain of marijuana, stating, "I was heavily addicted to weed and weed culture, so when I began rapping I thought of the word 'doja' and how it sounds like a girl's name."[10] She has since expressed slight disdain towards the name and the persona that it carries, stating in November 2021 that "my image was the pothead hippie girl, and I'm not that."[41]

Musical style and themes

Doja Cat's music has been described as hip hop,[187][191] pop,[9] R&B,[191] and pop rap.[196] When asked about her legacy, Doja Cat revealed that in future she would like to be remembered for her versatility in not only music but also visual art and dance.[26] Her second full-length studio album, Hot Pink, is built with her own beats as well as a series of videos written and conceived by herself.[29] She claimed the era was a firm restart for her career, and the most "refined, chiseled" representation of herself. Her escapist fantasy worldview is reflected in the music by its upbeat production style.[29] The record was inspired by drastic lifestyle changes including an "illuminating" acid trip which made her quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana.[29]

Personal life

Doja Cat is reported to be "eager to deflect interest in her personal life".[197] She lived in a home in Beverly Hills, California, which she bought in 2021 for $2.2 million[198] and sold in September 2022 for $2.5 million.[199]

She was in a brief open relationship with American musician Jawny from August 2019 until separating in February 2020.[200] Despite not having formally come out or openly stated her sexual orientation,[201] Doja Cat has hinted at queer themes, stating that she likes "people [she] can have sex with. And you can kinda have sex with anybody".[202] Her 2021 song "Naked" contains a tongue-in-cheek sexual reference that allegedly refers to her bisexuality in that she "like[s] bananas and peaches",[203] while her 2019 single "Bottom Bitch" can also be interpreted as a metaphor for lesbian sex.[202]

In June 2020, Doja Cat donated $100,000 to the Justice for Breonna Taylor Fund, in support of Taylor's family.[204]

Health

On July 24, 2020, Doja Cat revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 in an interview with Capital Xtra, adding, "I'm OK now. It was a four-day symptom freak-out but I'm fine now".[205] On December 12, 2021, she revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 a second time, and cancelled the remainder of her appearances at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour.[206]

In May 2022, Doja Cat opened up about her nicotine addiction on Twitter, and revealed that she required lancing of an infected tonsil caused by vaping and intended to pursue a tonsillectomy, consequently canceling her summer festival run and her opening act slot for the Weeknd's After Hours til Dawn Tour.[207]

Public image

Doja Cat has been noted for being versatile in her music. This includes her ability to sing, rap, and produce,[208][36][209] as well as act, perform and dance.[210][211] Often described as eccentric,[197][212][35] she is known for her absurdly humorous personality and posts on social media platforms.[2][5][213] Bryan Rolli of Forbes wrote that "Doja Cat's aloof, irreverent, chronically online persona masks a tireless work ethic; she sings better, raps faster and dances harder than many of her peers, all at once."[214] In an article for Okayplayer, Robyn Mowatt noted that "as a singer, rapper, songwriter, and entertainer Doja has led her fans on a rambunctious journey equipped with snappy lyrics, live video streams, outlandish outfits, and memorable viral moments. It's not just the music that gets her fans riled up, it's also her live performances which typically are infused with a touch of eccentricity."[215]

Controversies

In 2018, Doja Cat sparked controversy on social media when her Twitter history revealed the usage of the word "faggot".[216][217] In a tweet from 2015, she used the word to describe hip hop artists Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt.[218] Doja Cat initially defended her past remarks but later issued a series of apologies for her words and has since deleted her tweets.[219] As a result of the controversy, Doja Cat was declared the Milkshake Duck of 2018 by NME.[216]

In March 2020, Doja Cat received backlash after saying on Instagram live that COVID-19 was "only a flu" and that she was not scared of it.[220][221] Later that October, Doja Cat was criticized for participating in Kendall Jenner's Halloween and birthday celebrations during the COVID-19 pandemic.[222]

In May 2020, a 2015 song by Doja Cat titled "Dindu Nuffin" resurfaced.[223] "Dindu Nuffin" is an alt-right term used to ridicule African-American victims of police brutality who claim they are innocent.[223][224] After apologizing, Doja Cat said that although the song was intended to flip the term's meaning, it was a "bad decision."[225] Doja Cat denied that the song was a response to the death of Sandra Bland, calling the allegation "one of the most awful rumors that I've ever encountered."[226][227][188] She took to Instagram to address accusations after footage began circulating of her on Tinychat in a chat room saying "nigger."[188][212] She apologized to those offended and said she should not have been on certain chat room sites, although she maintained that she had never been involved in any racist conversations.[188][225][228] Frequent users of the chat room later came forth and revealed that the nature of the chatroom was not specifically racist, also saying that Doja Cat never said anything discriminatory in her conversations.[217]

Doja Cat's 2020 performance of "Say So" at the MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony was criticized when some viewers noted that the guitar solo in the performance was identical to the one in Plini's 2016 song "Handmade Cities".[229][230] The next month, Plini reported that Doja Cat left him an apologetic message through social media.[231][232][233]

In March 2022, Doja Cat threatened to quit music due to the backlash from an incident that occurred during her time in Paraguay.[234] The artist was in Paraguay for the 2022 Asunciónico Festival which was eventually canceled due to severe weather conditions, which included flooding and thunderstorms.[234] After it was canceled, fans reportedly gathered outside the hotel she was residing at in order to get a glimpse of the artist.[234] She did not come outside to meet with these fans and was consequently accused of being rude and apathetic. She did not post any social media photos about Paraguay, leaving fans feeling "empty."[234][235] She was also accused of being more enthusiastic with fans from other countries such as Brazil compared to her behavior with Paraguayan fans.[234] Because of the backlash the artist released a series of tweets where she claimed she was not sorry and she would quit the music industry, she then changed her Twitter username to "I Quit".[236] The artist did not quit music or Twitter and returned two days later with appreciative tweets towards her fans.[236]

In July 2022, Doja Cat experienced a texting privacy breach scandal with actor Noah Schnapp regarding actor Joseph Quinn.[237]

family 6 7 8 9 10 Her mother Deborah Sawyer is an American graphic designer of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage 11 12 and her father Dumisani Dlamini is a South African performer of Zulu descent 13 best known for starring as Crocodile in the original Broadway cast of the musical Sarafina and the 1992 film adaptation 14 15 The two had a brief relationship after meeting in New York City where Dumisani performed on Broadway but he was too busy on tour to spend time with Amala and her brother 12 He claims to have left his family in the US for South Africa out of homesickness in the hopes that they would join him there 16 yet Dlamini has on multiple occasions suggested that she is estranged from her father claiming that she never met him 17 18 19 Her father has denied these claims claiming that he has a healthy relationship with his daughter and that her management team had tried to block all his attempts to contact her out of the fear that they might lose her 20 16 Soon after her birth Dlamini moved from Tarzana to Rye New York where she lived for five years with her maternal grandmother an architect and painter 12 21 At the age of eight Dlamini moved with her mother and brother and returned to California to live at the Sai Anantam Ashram a commune in Agoura Hills 12 and practiced Hinduism for four years 22 23 The swami and founder of the commune was American jazz musician Alice Coltrane known by the Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda 24 While living at the commune Dlamini started wearing head covering scarves and singing bhajans at temple 9 yet felt like she could not properly be a kid at the ashram 25 22 Her family then moved to Oak Park 12 where she started attending dance lessons and experienced a sporty childhood often skateboarding and visiting Malibu for surf camps 26 24 Dlamini and her brother also experienced harsh racism as they were some of the only mixed race children in the area 12 She claims to have lacked interest in school from then on instead taking a liking for dance 27 While at the ashram she had been dancing the style of Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam 24 As she grew older and moved away from the ashram she moved on to breakdancing classes and joined a professional poplocking troupe with whom she competed in dance battles throughout Los Angeles while still attending high school 10 Her aunt a vocal coach had given Dlamini singing lessons to help her audition for Central Los Angeles Area New High School 9 a performing arts high school in Los Angeles 24 12 28 She frequently skipped school to participate in online chatrooms 29 After becoming discouraged about her education and career path Dlamini claims that she realized in eleventh grade that performing and music was all she ever cared about 30 She eventually dropped out at age 16 while in her junior year 31 She also attributes this act to her struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD saying that it felt like I was stuck in one spot and everybody else was progressing constantly 12 Career Edit2012 2017 Career beginnings and record deal Edit Doja Cat has described life after dropping out of school as messy claiming that she slept on the floor

Powell who had stumbled upon her SoundCloud account 34 He introduced her to record producer Yeti Beats 34 who invited her to record at his studio in the neighbourhood of Echo Park which also served as
