Born in the outskirt Los Angeles neighborhood of Tarzana to a Jewish American painter mom and South African actor absentee dad, Doja moved around with her mother as a kid, with stints in New York and a California ashram before resettling in Los Angeles. And her particular brand of satire might be exactly why she hasn’t found herself alienated, even as she enters her alien era.īefore Doja Cat, there was Amala Zandile Dlamini. Though the cosmic theme isn’t really detectable beyond the lo-fi beats, Planet Her is filled with enough pluses (“Kiss Me More,” specifically) to keep the hazy vibes going all summer long.īut there’s no denying there’s an unprecedented Teflon-like quality to Doja, a pop star who spent her early years shitposting and freestyling online all while largely soldiering through controversy. Today she released Planet Her, a galactic-themed concept album featuring her most sonically traditional Top 40 tracks yet, imbued with casually catchy hooks (the Ariana Grande collab “I Don’t Do Drugs” feels like a drug), zany lyrics (“Call him Ed Sheeran, he in love with my body”) and impressive guests (The Weeknd! SZA!). Like Roxie Hart, Doja eagerly takes to the spotlight, controversy and all. Since she got her start releasing humorous rap tracks on SoundCloud in the early 2010s, the 25-year-old star has seen the successes and pitfalls of a young career that flourished online: She’s gotten three Grammy nominations, has received backlash for using an anti-gay slur (she released three subsequent apologies after the first one was criticized), has had numerous songs become viral TikTok trends, contracted COVID-19 after mocking the virus last year, has landed three songs in the Billboard Top 10, and has dodged cancellation for being associated with disgraced producer Dr. It seemed like she wanted us to jettison our previous ideas about her and listen to what she was offering up now. But it was telling that her inspiration was a musical about provocative, misconstrued women. Sure, it made for a theatrical interpretation of her hits. It was hard not to read into Doja Cat’s impressive homage to Chicago. “Forget what you’ve seen and forget what you’ve heard because tonight I’m going to keep it real,” she said before sauntering into a medley: “Juicy,” then other recent triumphs “Say So” and “Like That,” all reimagined as a big-band stage number.
As the sparkly intro to the song built, Doja spoke directly to the camera, her bedazzled silver leotard winking. ” He gay as hell”, says Birdman, “He tried to be with me, drake, and even the boy rick ross, but he was after drake more than everybody else and Drake actually wrote the song “Doing It Wrong” for him, cause he ain’t wanna be with him” finished Birdman.On the Billboard Music Awards stage in October, Doja Cat stood in front of a Broadway sign displaying the word “Juicy,” the title of her 2019 hit single. Birdman also revealed that Lil Wayne wanted a relationship with him and Canadian rapper Drake, and that the song “Doing It Wrong” on Drake’s second studio album “Take Care” is actually about Lil Wayne and how he cannot be in a homosexual relationship with him.
Now that Birdman has admitted that Lil Wayne is actually a homosexual and that all the songs where he is speaking sexually of women is actually a cover up for his true sexuality and simply to sell his music, as women have always been popular topics for music. The feud is expected to heat even more now that it has been announced that Lil Wayne is Suing Cash Money Records for $51 Million and has asked a judge to declare him the joint copyright holder of everything released on his Cash Money imprint, Young Money, including recordings by Drake and Nicki Minaj. NEW ORLEANS – In the wake of the Lil Wayne and Birdman drama, Birdman has publicly admitted that rapper Lil Wayne is a homosexual, presuambly an attempt to ruin the image of the Young Money rapper.Īfter the news circulated that Birdman was holding back Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter 5” album for unknown reasons, Lil Wayne announced that he felt like a “prisoner” to Birdman’s label and that he wanted “out” of Cash Money Records.
