Doja Cat says people have a ‘shallow’ perception of her

Meanwhile, Doja recently admitted she has become more restrained on social media since finding fame. The music star — whose real name is Amala Dlamini — was hugely enthusiastic about social media before she released her debut album Amala in 2018, but Doja admits she’s become more cautious with her posts in recent years.


“I used to be on Periscope a lot. I’d be live for 10 or 12 hours at a time. I’d be making beats, and they weren’t any good, but
it was fun. I would just be yelling at and roasting people, and they would be like, ‘D—, why are you so mad?’ But then some people would think it was funny and go along with it. That was me back then, and I love going in on people, but I stopped because with a big platform, you don’t want to hurt anybody.


“You have power and you’re looked at a certain way, and if you go in on people and s—, it doesn’t help you or them, and they can tear you down more than you can tear them down,” she said.
