Doja Cat insists she has never said she “hates” her fans.
The “Say So” hitmaker lost 237,758 followers the weekend she poked fun at her fans for calling themselves Kittenz. She also took to social media to declare she didn’t care about their opinions.
However, she admits her humor is always being misinterpreted.
“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,” she told “The Ebro Show” on Apple Music. “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. It’s not my responsibility to have them understand.”
“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or ‘Kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house,” the singer posted on Instagram.
Doja also hit back again at critics who branded her work as satanic.
“That was a painting I painted. My painting isn’t a weapon. It isn’t offensive. It’s just a green gobliny monster guy … That was a really big piece for me,” she said of her dancing on a green goblin in the promo for “Paint The Town Red.” “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?”
“I’m not gonna make everyone happy, and that’s just that,” she added. “I’m just not, and I know that I’m not, so that’s freed me immensely.”
The multi-hyphenate also confronted her critics regarding her album, Scarlet.
On the track “Skull and Bones,” Doja Cat reacted to accusations that the video for her track “Demons” worships the devil.
“Y’all been pushin’ Satan this, and Satan that / My fans is yellin ‘least she rich,’ you need that pact / Lookin’ like I got some things you hate I have / And trust me baby, God don’t play with hate like that / So you gon’ be real upset when he pick Cat,” she raps.
