Who is Doja Cat?

Doja Cat, real name Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, is the daughter of Dumisani Dlamini, a producer, and Diane Sawyer, a Jewish-American painter.

Doja Cat’s love for music started from when she was little, and as she grew older, she took advantage of the social media state. It is safe to say that this strategy has worked well and is obvious in the surge of her fame.

Doja Cat’s music name was inspired by her support of marijuana and her affection for cats. The vocalist’s music is a combination of “R&B, hip hop, and rap. Doja has created stars like Busta Rhymes, Nicki Minaj, and Drake as her influence.

She First Found Fame on TikTok

Doja Cat earned social media presence through TikTok. This was after she released her single, “Mooo!” The singer first released a short clip of her song on the video-sharing app.

The clip was a music video made with absurdist art. In no time, it blew up and got the attention of stars like Chris Brown, Katy Perry, and Chance the Rapper.” The 25-year-old also gained recognition for her song, “So High,” which got featured on “Empire.”

The “Kiss Me More” singer has used a social-media-based approach to connect with fans and increase her fan base. With media tools like Live streaming platforms. Most of the lyrics for “Mooo!” were gleaned from her creativity on an Instagram Live session.

With her album, “Amala” and “Hot Pink,” the star further established her music style and approval from music lovers. After she released “Say So,” and also its remix with Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat scored her first number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Doja Cat was signed by Kemosabe Records owned by Dr. Luke. Doja Cat has spoken about her career so far, relaying that her first album felt like she was practicing. She likened it to starting something to figure out who one was.

Doja Cat’s music career might be on a smooth sail, but she has not been totally free of controversies and internet drama. Doja Cat has been called out for some of her faux pas.

Once when critics clamped down on the singer, was when she used an offensive adjective for Tyler the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt in 2015. The star later took to social media in a series of now-deleted tweets indicating that she did not mean it in a harmful way.

She instead incurred further backlashes for this tweet. Doja Cat later had more tweets apologizing for her past misconduct. She also had an episode with the Barbz, but that died down after her song with Nicki Minaj.
