Doja Cat has decided to clear the air on her relationship with fans.
According to Billboard, the rapper had an Apple Music interview and spilled the deets on how fans have misinterpreted her.
“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… 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.”
In July, Doja Cat took to Threads to slam her fans for making her government name their screen name and referring to themselves as “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.”
After Doja’s post, she lost 237,758 followers in a weekend.

The rapper also talked about claims that her videos are satanic–especially “Paint The Town Red.”
“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?”
Doja Cat understands it’s impossible to please all her fans, but she’s relishing it.
“I’m not gonna make everyone happy, and that’s just that… I’m just not, and I know that I’m not, so that’s freed me immensely.”
