The Horrifying Transformation of Doja Cat

doja

cat has evolved from a bubbly pink pop princess to an avant-garde, dark and honestly confusing artist. Now, celebrities as famous as

doja

cat are held to standards that are almost impossible to meet, but what happens when a celebrity just gives up, ignores all social standards, and starts acting in a way that you don't have idea of ​​whether what you're seeing is real or fake, we have to recognize up front that everything in Doic Cat's career could be an orchestrated marketing stunt or we could be witnessing someone descending into madness. Doic Cat's superpower is that she knows the Internet very well, she knows what kind of humor will gravitate to the Internet, she knows what will cause controversy and she has continually exploited that throughout her career she gained this knowledge by essentially being raised by the Internet.

I definitely didn't like it. leaving my room, I don't know if she had a gorap phobia but I definitely thought it was at the time, it was very very difficult for me to leave according to DOA, she would miss school for days at a time and spend endless hours. In various online chat rooms, she claims that she was often the victim of online bullying, but this allowed her to develop a thick skin and join in the fun through her own offensive rhetoric, so I became the person who often made offensive jokes and did things a little out of the ordinary, from the slapstick comedy of the e-bomb world to the hyperconnectivity of Myspace, as well as the avant-garde and politically incorrect depths of forchan.

DOA developed a fascination with Internet culture, but this time in her life it would later come back to haunt her. she was very interested in finding an underground artist that ended up, maybe it was around 11th grade when I thought this is what I really wanted to do, performing in music was the only thing that mattered to me. She finally left school at 16 and spent all her time on it. free time making music and sharing it online her song so high was uploaded in November 2012, which would eventually change her life. The only time DOA left her house was to network with other musicians in the underground world.

The scene verbs, a rapper, promoter and radio host in La helped book the dojo's first show at an event she founded called Banana Showcase. Be like her highness, why she always buys that fly, why she has to check them TS and why she shuts it down like a hydrant, even though most of you know DOA like a pop. star, she was initially trying to be a rapper when she was being developed. I was like a live performance coach and a rap coach. The verbs remembered. I would play her hip-hop videos and we would freestyle. She was phenomenal.

She really didn't need me. but just so happened to be there Yeti Beats was a producer who heard so loudly and was impressed that he connected DOA with industry executives, which resulted in DOA signing with kimosabe records, an RCA Records label founded by record producer and songwriter Dr Luke when she was just 17 years old, this deal also came with a temporary artist management partnership with Rock Nation through Kimo Saab. DOA released their debut Eep Perr with the song so high that it was re-released as his debut commercial solo single that it seemed like Doo was about to explode into the mainstream, but signing with Dr Luke was a mistake he could never have foreseen in 2014.

Dr Luke gained widespread media attention after Kesha filed a lawsuit against him and accused Dr Luke of sexual, physical and emotional abuse over several years, beginning when she was 18. She also claimed that Dr Luke was intentionally sabotaging her career. Kesha also sought to be released from her recording contract with kimosabe records. This case was big news as #free Kesha became a movement on social media. Coincidentally, Doac Cat's career came to an abrupt halt so soon. When Kesha's lawsuit was filed, rapper W wanted to take DOA on their 30-city Simply Nothing tour in the US, giving them much-needed exposure to a mainstream audience, but he had to pull out because he didn't have the support of his label now Dojo.

He never made any accusations against Dr. Luke, but it's a stretch to assume that Dr. Luke was more focused on fighting this lawsuit than helping his newbies with their career because Dojo took a three-and-a-half-year break from releasing music on the music industry. Call it shelving, which is when a label signs you to a contract but does nothing to help your career, metaphorically putting you on a shelf to collect dust, she kept the money doing any live performance possible, like doing a mini tour with the felus London in 2015, as well as a short tour with heddle in 2017.

DOA even turned down a feature on Billy ish's 2017 hit. Belly Ache fans often saw DOA on Periscope live preparing songs in his room , but she did not intend to release them until 2018. Her return in 2018 meant that she abandoned the rapper's career and aesthetics; Instead, she followed the typical pop star formula of selling sex through music. She released songs like roll with us, go to town and Candy along with her 13-track album. She loves her, but many of these songs fell on deaf ears. Kimosabe Records did not do any marketing for her, nor did they get her interviewed nor did they place her at major festivals.

She was watching her career fly and it came to a point where she had nothing. She left to spend a night on an Instagram live with her core group of 60 fans watching, she made a masterpiece meme that would change her life. Producer Troy NOA sent her a sample of West Montgomery's Polka Dots and Moonbeams asking her to make a beat for his album at which point she just received a cow costume in the mail DOA hopped on Instagram live and started writing moo with her fans six hours later DOA and her fans wrote a song about her being a cow, but the dumb song needed a dumb music video.

I opened the photo booth on my laptop and used the green screen function with a green sheet that I hadn't used since I was 12 and that was buried in the depths of my closet. I nailed it to a wall with a hammer right above my mirror and using some LED Christmas lights to illuminate everything, the bad lighting and terrible quality green screen combined with an intentionally bad song was the perfect thing to release in the summer of 2018 when we were at the top of the gang Lil pump bad baby Lil xan Boon. Vicki Supreme Patty Lil T Instagram cloutwave doic cat moo music video fits perfectly into this universe because people thought she was just a new Corky YouTuber who had a green screen and got bored.

Moo's music video got over 5 million views in 2 weeks and it's gone. Extremely viral on all social media platforms, but when people look deeper they realize that she is an extremely talented pop artist with a record deal who has a full album that she just released a few months ago. Most people who go viral aren't ready for a full album. Doo's musical career was more prepared than ever and she was able to take advantage of it immediately, but first she had to apologize. Some of her old tweets resurfaced of her using her skin to which she immediately responded by admitting that she had used the word more. 15,000 times in her life and then saying I don't think I hate gays, gay is fine, obviously this didn't go well and she issued a more formal apology the next day, this had no impact on her career or drive, but I wouldn't do it.

It would be the last time she would have to apologize for her past now that she went viral on her account, her label decided to support her, she embarked on a 23 City Tour a month later and was finally getting interviews from Billboard Genius and Vlad TV. She released a great single with Rico Nasty called Tia Tamara that kept a lighthearted and fun approach to her music. DOA understood that fans love satire and moo silliness, but she ultimately wanted to be taken seriously as a musician, many blowing artists. Memes have a hard time being taken seriously, but the music industry was craving more female talent and Doo was ready to fill that niche.

Her juicy debut single with Tiga debuted at number 83 on the Hot 100, her first entry on the charts. It peaked at number 43 due to several Tik Tok trends associated with the song. Her second studio album, Hot Pink, was an overtly feminine, bubbly, and sexy record that complemented her fun energy while remaining professional. She says it wasn't released as a single, but it sparked a dance. trending on Tik Tok all the biggest influencers like Charlie demilio and James Charles helped Skyrocket this song, the popularity sparked a remix with Nicki Minaj as it gained traction, she tweeted that if she says it hits number one I'll show you my boobs very hard The tweet made headlines, some mocked its desperation to reach number one, but then it worked, let's say it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved a Guinness World Record for the first female rap duo to reach the number one on the US singles chart.

I just realized that I have to show my breasts really hard uh. I'm going to be honest with you. I played with you. I'm not going to show my breasts too hard. Man. she is playing with the simps, trust me the simps will overpower her and eventually expose something bad about her. This comment couldn't have been more correct a few days later, a Twitter user resurfaced an old DOA video and what they claimed was an alt-right. chat room on a website called tiny chat DOA is seen moving and squirming as he makes sexual noises and advances towards other people in the chat before dropping the hard R, his shirt reminding that not only was he acting very strange but the others people on the call were using blatantly racist rhetoric this was Do's response in this video.

I'm completely drunk and completely stupid about people being racist in the chat room. This was her response. You know, what I do understand is that there is racism that happens in small chats. and there is racism that happens on Instagram there is racism that happens on Twitter this happens everywhere it just happens more on Tiny chat because it's not as monitored when you see racist on Tiny chat it's because people aren't paying attention. I've seen it and I know I've been targeted by it but the narrative that it's a white supremacist chat is completely incorrect, but it didn't stop there, fans also discovered a 2015 song that Doo recorded called D do Nothing D Do Nothing is racist. term that originated from pole, which is an abbreviation for Politically Incorrect, an anonymous forum on forchan dedicated to current events and political debates.

This forum has a reputation for being a breeding ground for fringe beliefs and unapologetically grotesque takes. The term he did nothing is derived from the phrase he did nothing, an oft-used plea for innocence and a reference to unarmed black men killed by police. The term was used to mock and criticize the black community during the Black Lives Matter protests #tags like dojacat is an over the top party and just started the clans. People trending on Twitter believe the chat room video and controversial song indicated a pattern of racist behavior from Doa shortly after these conversations began.

DOA issued a formal apology acknowledging her involvement in the chat rooms but also debunking the narrative that she is anti-Black. She also jumped on an Instagram live for 30 minutes where she gave a concise explanation. When I used it, it was because she was in chat rooms all the time and she was kind of locked in and she was always there dealing with people coming at me. left and right talking about different slanderous terms after another the term that I used in the song uh is one that I learned that day so people were calling me left and right left and right and I used it in a song and it was to kind of take it back and just tell those people, but again, this wouldn't be the last time Doa's internet would come back to haunt her.

Fortunately for DOA, her ever-growing list of accomplishments shone above any controversy she endured despite her hot pinkness. she was postponed, she performed at the 2020 MTV Music Awards, where she won best new artist following performances on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Her appearance on the album track motif of Ariana Grande's 2020 album positions peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart becoming her highest-charting debut and second top 40 entry later that year. . DOA performed at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards, where they won Best New Act, and later won New Artist of 2020 and New Artist of the Year, at the 46th People's Choice Awards and the 2020 American Music Awards, respectively. , Billboard ranked number five on the Best New Artists of 2020 and Best Female Artists of 2020 lists, ranked high on Rolling Stones' list of the Top 10 Artists of 2020.

After a 300% increase % in your audio streams toordered in the US, Forbes also named Dojo one of the breakout stars of 2020 and included her in the annual 30 Under 30 list. She was also nominated for three different awards at the 63rd annual At the Grammys in 2021, she continued to absolutely dominate, toning down the brightly colored suits and pink-dyed hair for a quiet, mature aesthetic. She released several hits, including Best Friend with Sidi 34 plus 35 with Megan the Stallion and Ariana Grande, as well as Streets, all of which peaked for her. the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in spring 2021 Dojo released Kiss me more with siza this collaboration reached the top five in 18 different countries received critical acclaim and earned DOA their first Grammy for best duo performance /pop group, but with all the success, she claimed she didn't enjoy it.

I don't have any new music, just have fun and just jam and do something like I haven't done it in maybe five years, it feels like, I made my album, I put it out. but that's like a requirement like the one I had I have to do that like I had to make that album it's easy to understand musicians can experience burnout due to demanding schedules late night performances long rehearsals frequent trips repetitive interviews there is intense pressure to constantly deliver performances of high quality, whether live or in the studio. She says she had to make the album of it.

She made people believe there was drama with her and Dr. Lou, perhaps he felt a lack of control over her career. She said she hadn't done it. music for fun made people believe that her label wanted her to make formulaic pop music so they could attract millions. This pressure combined with the endless amount of scrutiny and negativity online over having to constantly apologize for wrongdoing probably made DOA feel like this entire music industry is smoking mirrors their potential descent into madness was beginning are you drinking water in March 2020? DOA traveled to Paraguay for their Annual Asuncion Festival which was canceled upon arrival due to severe weather conditions including flooding and thunderstorms.

Doa's hotel location was leaked and fans were eager to see their favorite musician crowding outside the hotel waiting for her to come out, eventually fans became frustrated when DOA did not recognize them either in person or on social media, while fans have no right to dojo time outside of when she is apparently scheduled to perform. The next day's self-absorbed tweets caused a justified stir on social media. The next day DOA left her hotel and tweeted that there was a storm in Paraguay. The show was canceled when I left the next morning. There was not a single person outside the hotel. waiting for me after a flurry of backlash she said "I don't care about a follower" "it's not for me so I'm leaving." Take care before you change her Twitter name from her to I left her reaction to this situation totally out of her depth.

The check shows that she is legitimately sick and tired of the pressure of this industry or two, that she is just a snobbish childish brat and ungrateful to her career. Doo's response to criticism has always been the same since day one, she initially responded sarcastically and when that response garnered more criticism, she finally took the situation seriously and issued a formal apology; However, her secondary apologies always felt insincere as her genuine feelings towards the topic always showed during those initial responses, which brings us to our next controversy where she made a great deal. Out of nowhere, DOA sent Noah to the 17-year-old Stranger Things star to get the attention of Joseph Quinn, another cast member who she had been lusting after on Twitter.

Noah posted the DMS thinking it was a dumb joke just for DOA. getting really mad about it because Noah did that went and posted a private conversation between him and I is so incredibly like socially unaware and, you know what I mean, he's like a borderline snake, he's like a weasel, that's what I'm saying, it is not. That's how deep it is, he's just like a very stupid child. Doo assumed that people would automatically side with him since Noah exposed his private messages, however, many people saw him as the innocent and destructive 17-year-old. What he said in the DMS was already public knowledge. and when Twitter users told her that she was overreacting to this little conflict, she played the victim and responded in a sarcastic and insincere tone.

You are all so embarrassing and stupid and no one wants to be with you, that's why you are here writing without irony. respond to that thing that makes you angry DOA is clearly fed up with the negativity that comes with fame, whether their controversies are self-inflicted or not, ended the expectations, ended the petty drama, ended the apologies, tried to appease anyone less to herself and now it was her turn to control the narrative. She started by shaving her head and then went on Instagram live and shaved her eyebrows during the live. She said: "I feel like I should never have had hair anyway.

Whenever female celebrities randomly shave their heads, people are quick to assume." They have gone crazy, especially after the world witnessed how Britney Spears shaved her head while she was suffering a mental breakdown in 2007, but when she attended Paris Fashion Week people questioned her intentions. . DOA collaborated with makeup artist Pat McGrath to create a strapless red dress while covered head to toe in 30,000 crimson red crystals, the look took almost 5 hours to complete and, while some people brushed it off as another fashion choice crazy fashion for the sake of shock, others made aluminati conspiracy theories that she was imitating Lucifer and this.

It was nothing more than a symbolism for the demonic realities of the entertainment industry, one could even say Doa's fashion. The antics are similar to the many stunts Lady Gaga did in the early 2000s and then again they said Gaga was also in the Illuminati, little did we know. Putting together a creative or potentially shocking outfit for Fashion Week became one of the least strange things DOA does. DOA announced that she planned to return to her rap roots for her upcoming fourth studio album. She wanted to move away from the pink and soft stuff and the pop and bright sounds that defined her career until now.

The attention on her song diminished some interest in the rap world, but fans who became accustomed to Doa's pop records expressed their disappointment in social media, which led to DOA tweeting my comments section on IG used to be just positivity because I was doing what everyone wanted me to do and I love being able to see through all the B. Now she clarified that it was nothing personal but rather it was discontent producing digestible pop hits for kids on Twitter to fight about it, Planet tweeted. she and hot pink were cash grabs and you all fell for it.

Now I can go disappear somewhere and play weed with my loved ones on an island while you all cry over mediocre pop. People regretted ever supporting her music, but this. this is the most honest thing DOA has ever said that most of the music you love is a highly formulated soulless product that is scientifically designed to make you love it look what it took for DOA to blow up making the worst song possible to call attention It's totally believable to think that DOA just did everything they could to make some money and get ready for life.

This is metaphorically what people call selling her soul, but Dojo was doing more than metaphors: she showed off a new tattoo of a cross with a scaled animal figure. spread with feminine attributes, the photo went viral on social networks and many called Doa's tattoo demonic. One fan expressed concern by writing I used to love you but you clearly sold your soul to the devil, stop following. Doo responded, "Whatever helps you sleep at night, I'd post another one." she would tattoo an antelope skull on her wrist and then tattoo a bat skeleton on her back. Accusations of being indoctrinated into the Illuminati or practicing demonic worship only increased as time went on as her Instagram became filled with cryptic messages and creepy videos to introduce her. album, she posted very unflattering photos of herself, her album was called Scarlet, she posted what people thought was the album cover, which consisted of her soaked in blood with a naked Freemason symbol.

She also announced a multi-city tour that people called a devil worship show. She posted videos of herself crawling in the shadows, photo shoots where she was drenched in blood, and selfies with blood dripping from her nose. She even posted a selfie wearing a t-shirt with an image of Sam Hyde, an infamous internet troll comedian who often incorporates racist comments. or anti-Semitic humor in her fragments, the image of Hyde brandishing a rifle on Doa's t-shirt is a common meme on social media after mass shootings, her song Paint the Town Red was her leaning more towards this art style overtly demonic that led the song. charting in 19 countries, it became Doa's second single and first as a solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Paint the City Red made history by becoming the first female solo rap song in Spotify history in to top the platform's global and US top 50 charts. fastest solo female rap song to reach 100 million massive streams turns out devil imagery is still an effective marketing strategy if the signs weren't obvious enough, although DOA began teasing a promotional single titled demons in promotional photos uploaded to Instagram DOA can be seen dressed up as a demon, the music video further cemented Doa's

transformation

from the quirky girl in a cow suit to something straight out of a horror movie. Some people praise Doja because she is finally being herself, she is finally free of all the expectations of the music industry and doesn't have to live up to unattainable beauty standards.

Some people think that what Dojo is doing here is making fun of people who think that an artist has to sell their soul to get into the industry. Yes, I have to remember that she is an expert internet troll creep. From deep within Forchan, he knows that all of these images will cause controversy, he knows that he will get news coverage and that his outraged parents will call for his music and concerts to be banned, he knows that there will be conspiracy theories anyway, so he might be presenting himself ironically. as a devil worshiper to make people think she has gone crazy, is this an extremely cheesy and overused art style by artists? yes, is he actually an Illuminati scop?

Maybe it didn't really work. Doa's fourth studio album, Scarlet, debuted at number four on the Hot 200 moving forward, with 72,000 album-equivalent units. Planet, she debuted at number two and sold 109,000 units despite being on track to become the world's best-selling female pop star. Doo potentially scared the audience of her.
