Doja Cat, the popular rapper, singer, and songwriter, is facing controversy as an old chatroom video of her engaging in graphic acts was leaked online. The video, which appears to show Doja performing an intimate act while being cheered on by conservative-leaning White men in the chatroom, has sparked criticism and raised concerns about racism and misogyny in such online spaces.
The leaked video was allegedly taken a few years ago, and according to the individual who leaked it, there are even more explicit videos involving Doja Cat in similar chatroom settings. The pop singer has been criticized in the past for spending time in chatrooms known for promoting racist and misogynistic behavior.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Doja Cat gained recognition with her music on SoundCloud, particularly with her song “So High.” She signed a joint record deal with Kemosabe and RCA Records after her EP Purrr! caught their attention in 2014.
Although her debut studio album, Amala (2018), had a modest rollout, Doja Cat’s viral success as an internet meme with the humorous song “Mooo!” significantly boosted her popularity. The song, where she humorously claims to be a cow while playfully referencing other well-known tunes, became a meme sensation.
Capitalizing on her rising fame, Doja Cat released her second studio album, Hot Pink, which reached the top 10 of the US Billboard 200. The album’s single “Say So” featuring Nicki Minaj topped the Billboard Hot 100. Her third album, Planet Her (2021), enjoyed immense success, spending three consecutive weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 and featuring hit singles like “Kiss Me More” (featuring SZA), “Need to Know,” and “Woman.”
While Doja Cat’s musical talent has earned her a substantial fanbase, the leaked chatroom video has raised questions about her association with controversial online communities. The situation has sparked public discussion, with many expressing concerns about the toxic environment prevalent in certain chatrooms and the potential impact on Doja Cat’s reputation and career. As of now, the artist has not made an official statement addressing the leaked videos. Further developments are anticipated as the story unfolds.
