Doja Cat has caused quite a stir among her fans and followers on social media with her recent comments on Twitter. The pop star referred to her last two albums, “Hot Pink” and “Planet Her,” as “cash-grabs,” and even went as far as mocking her fans who “fell for it.” This statement has sparked a mixed reaction among her fans, with some offended and others sympathizing with her due to the hollow and corporate nature of the entertainment industry.
Despite the controversy, it seems that most fans have accepted Doja’s comments as typical behavior from the singer. Some have even made comparisons to her earlier work, suggesting that her debut album, “Amala,” was more authentic and less focused on commercial success. Others have simply enjoyed her music regardless of its origin or intent. “Planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it,” she tweeted to her followers. “Now i can go disappear somewhere and touch grass with my loved ones on an island while yall weep for mediocre pop.” The response suggested that Doja’s comments were a reflection of the music industry’s objectification of art and that the singer’s “cash-grab” albums were simply an indication of this larger problem.

While some fans may be disappointed by Doja’s comments, it’s important to remember that the music industry is a complex and often exploitative system. By calling attention to the corporate nature of her own music, Doja is shedding light on a larger issue that affects artists across all genres. Whether or not her next album will be a “cash-grab” remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: her comments have sparked an important conversation about the state of the music industry and artists’ creative control.
The “Woman” chart-topper has already announced the title of her fourth album, which will be called ‘Hellmouth’. The project is expected to be released sometime this year and is said to feature more rap and explore punk as a genre. Doja has revealed 19 tracks on her Instagram Stories, but there is no word yet on the official tracklist or any featured artists.
Doja has been teasing her fans about the upcoming album for a while now. ‘Hellmouth’ or ‘DC4’, as it is also known, has been described by her as having a more masculine theme and exploring punk in a raw, unfiltered, and hardcore form. She has also cited Beastie Boys as an influence.
Despite her pop leanings, the Grammy winner is experimenting with mixing punk sounds into her music. In fact, some of the song titles on the album include “Wet Vagina,” “Loon1e,” and “Skull n bones.”
As she previously said on Twitter, Doja mentioned that this album will consist entirely of rap. However, there has been no confirmation yet about the exact direction of the album.
After all, Doja is known for her versatility and ability to blend different genres seamlessly. She has previously collaborated with artists such as SZA, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj, so there’s a possibility that we might hear some exciting collaborations on ‘Hellmouth’.
