Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini (born October 21, 1995), known professionally as Doja Cat (/ˈdoʊdʒə/ DOH-jə), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, she began making and releasing music on SoundCloud as a teenager. Her song "So High" caught the attention of Kemosabe and RCA Records, with which she signed a joint record deal at the age of 17, subsequently releasing her debut EP Purrr! in 2014.

After a hiatus from releasing music and the uneventful rollout of her debut studio album, Amala (2018), Doja Cat earned viral success as an internet meme with her 2018 single "Mooo!", a novelty song in which she makes satirical claims about being a cow. Capitalizing on her growing popularity, her second studio album, Hot Pink (2019), reached the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Say So", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of a remix featuring Nicki Minaj. This album was followed by Planet Her (2021), which spent three consecutive weeks at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the top 10 singles "Kiss Me More" (featuring SZA), "Need to Know" and "Woman".

Described by The Wall Street Journal as "a skilled technical rapper with a strong melodic sense and a bold visual presence",[5] Doja Cat is known for creating music videos and songs that achieve popularity on social media applications such as TikTok. She is also well-versed in the internet herself, and is famed for her absurdly humorous personality and online presence.[6][7][8][9] Apart from nominations for eleven Grammy Awards, Doja Cat has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including a Guinness World Record, a Billboard Music Award, five American Music Awards and three MTV Video Music Awards.

Early life

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini[10] was born on October 21, 1995,[11][12] into an artistic family in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[1][13] Her mother, Deborah Sawyer, is a Jewish-American graphic designer,[14][15] and her father, Dumisani Dlamini, is a South African actor of Zulu descent,[16] best known for starring as Crocodile in the original Broadway cast of the musical Sarafina! and the 1992 film of the same name.[17][18] The two had a brief relationship after meeting in New York City where Dumisani performed on Broadway, but he was too busy on tour to spend time with Amala and her brother.[15] He claims to have left his family in the US for South Africa out of homesickness, in the hopes that they would join him there,[19] yet Doja Cat has on multiple occasions suggested that she is estranged from her father, claiming that she "never met him".[20][21][22] Her father has denied these claims, claiming that he has a "healthy" relationship with his daughter and that her management team had tried to block all his attempts to contact her out of the fear that they might lose her.[23][19]

Dlamini spent her pre-teen years practicing Hinduism on an ashram led by Alice Coltrane (pictured).

Soon after her birth, Dlamini moved from Tarzana to Rye, New York, where she lived for five years with her maternal grandmother, a Jewish architect and painter.[24][15] At the age of eight, Dlamini moved with her mother and brother to the Sai Anantam Ashram, a commune in the mountains of Santa Monica,[15] and practiced Hinduism for four years.[25][26] The swami and founder of the commune was American jazz musician Alice Coltrane (known by the Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda).[27] While living at the commune, Dlamini started wearing head-covering scarves and singing bhajans at temple,[1] yet felt like she could not properly "be a kid" with Hinduism's constraining customs.[28][25] Her then family returned to California in Oak Park,[15] where she started attending dance lessons and experienced a "sporty childhood", often skateboarding and visiting Malibu for surf camps.[29][27] Dlamini and her brother also experienced harsh racism as they were some of the only mixed-race children in the area.[15] She claims to have lacked interest in school from then on, instead taking a liking for dance.[30] While at the ashram she had been dancing the style of Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam.[27] As she grew older and moved away from the ashram, she moved on to breakdancing classes and joined a professional poplocking troupe with whom she competed in dance battles throughout Los Angeles while still attending high school.[13] Her aunt, a vocal coach, had given Dlamini singing lessons to help her audition for Central Los Angeles Area New High School #9, a performing arts high school in Los Angeles.[27][15][31] She frequently skipped school to participate in online chatrooms,[32] and eventually dropped out at age 16 while in her junior year.[33] She attributes this act to her struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), saying that "it felt like I was stuck in one spot and everybody else was progressing constantly".[15]

Career

2012–2017: Career beginnings and record deal

Doja Cat has described life after dropping out of school as "messy", claiming that she slept on the floor and spent "all night and day" browsing the internet, looking for beats and instrumentals from YouTube which she downloaded and used to create her own music.[34][35] She taught herself to sing, rap and use GarageBand while at home without a job, frequently making music and uploading it to SoundCloud.[13][35][34] In late 2012, "So High" became the first permanent upload on her SoundCloud account,[34] and soon caught the attention of record producer Yeti Beats, who invited her to record at his studio in the neighbourhood of Echo Park, which also served as "an oasis of sorts for Doja to escape from the turmoil at home".[15] He connected her with Kemosabe Records, an imprint of RCA Records, where she signed in March 2014[36] under label executive Dr. Luke and his publishing company Prescription Songs at the age of 17.[1][24][37][38] This deal also came with a temporary artist management partnership with Roc Nation.[24]

In August 2014, Doja Cat released her debut EP, Purrr!, described as "spacey, eastern-influenced R&B" by The Fader.[39] "So High" was repackaged and released as her solo commercial debut single prior to the EP's release,[37] and was later featured on the Fox series Empire in the third episode of the show's first season.[40] In mid-2015, Doja Cat temporarily signed to OG Maco's label, OGG.[41] Following the signing, in late 2016, Maco and Doja Cat collaborated on the song "Monster", from Maco's 2017 mixtape, Children of The Rage.[42] She had started experiencing writer's block, which led her to decline American singer Billie Eilish's offer to feature on what would later become her popular 2017 single "Bellyache".[43] Doja Cat would stop releasing music for a while amid what she describes as a "creative limbo", which was influenced by her record labels not paying her much attention, as well as the effects of "finding herself" and smoking too much marijuana.[15]

2018–2019: Amala and "Mooo!"

Her first major commercial release in four years, Doja Cat released the song "Roll with Us" in February 2018 following a brief hiatus.[44] The following month, she released "Go to Town" as the lead single from her debut album, with an accompanying music video.[45] "Candy" was released as the album's second single that same month.[46] The track would later become a sleeper hit after a "dance challenge" on the video-sharing platform TikTok went viral in late 2019.[47] The single consequently charted in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, with the latter having the song peak at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this her first solo entry on the chart.[48]

On March 30, 2018, Doja Cat's debut studio album Amala was released through RCA and Kemosabe Records, and included the three singles.[49] Its release was largely uneventful,[50][51] as it was ignored by critics and failed to chart in any market.[52][53] Doja Cat has since expressed strong disdain toward the record, claiming that it doesn't entirely represent her as an artist and that it isn't a "finished album" since she was constantly partying or high on marijuana during its recording.[54][55][56] She claims it was also rushed in order to meet deadlines from the record labels who paid it "almost no support".[57]

In August 2018, Doja Cat self-published the homemade music video for "Mooo!", a novelty song with absurdist lyrics in which she fantasizes about being a cow.[58] The video promptly garnered viral success as an internet meme, attaining over three million views in one week.[59][60][61] Due to popular demand following this viral success, the single version of "Mooo!" was released onto digital platforms later that month as the lead single from the deluxe edition of Amala.[62] This was followed by the release of the second single, "Tia Tamera" featuring Rico Nasty, and its accompanying music video in February 2019.[63] The full deluxe edition of Amala was released on March 1, 2019, and featured the bonus tracks "Mooo!", "Tia Tamera" and "Juicy".[53] The success of "Mooo!" is believed to have "irrefutably proved" to her record labels that Doja Cat was a marketable artist, which led them to start paying more attention to her.[15]

2019–2020: Breakthrough with Hot Pink

A remix version of Doja Cat's song "Juicy", from the deluxe version of Amala, added a verse from American rapper Tyga and was released alongside a music video in August 2019 as the lead single from her second studio album.[64] Following the release of the remix, the song debuted at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Doja Cat's first entry on the chart, and ultimately peaked at number 41.[53] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) would later award the song a platinum certification in the United States.[65] The song's success led to Amala debuting for the first time on the Billboard 200 chart that same month.[53] In October 2019, Doja Cat released "Bottom Bitch", the second single from her second album.[66] This was followed by the release of the single "Rules" alongside the announcement of her second studio album Hot Pink.[67] Hot Pink was released on November 7, 2019, to generally favorable reviews. The album would eventually peak at number 9 on the Billboard 200.[68] Doja Cat was meant to feature on a track titled "Broward Coward" from an early version of American rapper XXXTentacion's fourth studio album, Bad Vibes Forever,[69][70] however the song was ultimately scrapped since the album tracklist was completely revised for its posthumous release in December 2019.[71] She later released the single "Boss Bitch" as part of the soundtrack for the 2020 film Birds of Prey.[72]

In January 2020, "Say So" was sent to radio to become the fourth single off of her album Hot Pink.[73] The song was originally released alongside the album in November 2019, but gained wider popularity through the video-sharing platform TikTok.[74] She performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in February 2020.[75] The next day, she released the music video for the song, directed by Hannah Lux Davis.[76] The solo version of "Say So" peaked at number five on the Hot 100, becoming her first top-ten single,[77] and was the most streamed song of 2020 by a female artist in the United States.[78] In May 2020, following the release of a remix of "Say So" featuring Nicki Minaj, the single topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first number-one single for both artists,[79] and the first ever female rap collaboration to peak atop the chart.[79][80]

In March 2020, Doja Cat was set to embark on the Hot Pink Tour in support of the album, before it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[81] She was featured on a remix of Canadian singer The Weeknd's single "In Your Eyes" in May 2020,[82] as well as on the single "Shimmy" by rapper Lil Wayne from the deluxe version of his 2020 album Funeral.[83] In June, she was featured on the single "Pussy Talk" by the rap duo City Girls.[84] She released the music video for her single "Like That".[85] She also uploaded the demo song "Unisex Freestyle" to SoundCloud in late June 2020.[86] At the 20th BET Awards, Doja Cat was nominated for two awards, Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Video of the Year.[87] In August 2020, her song "Freak", which had been on SoundCloud since 2018, was officially released on digital platforms.[88]

Doja Cat won the award for Push Best New Artist at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, where she also performed a medley of the songs "Say So" and "Like That".[89][90] She was credited as a lead artist on the remix for Chloe x Halle's song "Do It", which also featured City Girls and Mulatto, the following month. She was featured alongside Australian singer Sia on the track "Del Mar" from Puerto Rican singer Ozuna's 2020 album Enoc, also released in September.[91][92] The "Juicy" remix featuring Tyga was nominated for Top R&B Song at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards.[93] In October 2020, Doja Cat was featured on American singer Bebe Rexha's single "Baby, I'm Jealous", the lead single from Rexha's second studio album, Better Mistakes.[94] She performed a burlesque-themed medley of "Juicy", "Say So" and "Like That" at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, inspired by Chicago and Moulin Rouge.[95][96] That same month, Doja Cat performed both "Baby, I'm Jealous" with Rexha and "Del Mar" with Ozuna on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, respectively.[97][98] Doja Cat was featured on the album track "Motive" from Ariana Grande's 2020 album Positions,[99] which peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming both her highest debut and second-ever top 40 entry.

Artistry

Influences

Doja Cat cites Nicki Minaj,[170][171][172] Rihanna,[3][37][171] Beyoncé,[173][171] D'Angelo,[3] Missy Elliott,[174] Janet Jackson,[171] Christina Aguilera,[2] and Prince,[171] among her biggest musical influences. In a Billboard interview, Doja Cat stated that she is "in love with everything Nicki Minaj has put out into the world."[175] She also draws inspiration from her background engaging in online activities and delving into sub-cultures as a suburban teenager,[32] as well as the artists her mother exposed to her as a child such as D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Jamiroquai, Earth, Wind & Fire, Black Eyed Peas, Tupac, Aaliyah, DMX, India Arie and TLC.[56][37][24] Doja Cat has cited the Hindu culture of her childhood as well as Japanese culture as inspiration for Purrr! (2014) and other aspects of her early career.[176][177] She has described her music as "a sponge soaking up water", stating: "I really pull from everyone. I'm absorbent... if I hear a beat Busta Rhymes would absolutely kill, I'll use my voice to do a flow similar to his."[56]

On the song "Get Into It (Yuh)" from her third studio album, Planet Her (2021), Doja Cat pays tribute to Minaj and borrows lyrics and rap delivery from her debut 2010 single "Massive Attack".[178][179] Critics noted that the album as whole was largely influenced by Minaj herself,[180][181] with The New Yorker noting that she "build[s] upon the pop-rap legacy established by her predecessor Nicki Minaj",[182] and Consequence highlighting that on "Get Into It (Yuh)" she "thanks Minaj directly for paving the way for her polished pop-rap career."[183] XXL writer Stacy-Ann Ellis noticed Minaj and Doja Cat's "similar cartoonish rap deliveries and whimsical sartorial selects" on the latter's earlier repertoire.[184]

Stage name and persona

As a teenager in 2012, Doja Cat gained her stage name from one of her cats as well as her favorite strain of marijuana, stating, "I was heavily addicted to weed and weed culture, so when I began rapping I thought of the word 'doja' and how it sounds like a girl's name."[13] She has since expressed slight disdain towards the name and the persona that it carries, stating in November 2021 that "my image was the pothead hippie girl, and I'm not that."[43]

Musical style and themes

When asked about her legacy, she revealed that in future she would like to be remembered for her versatility in not only music but also visual art and dance.[29] Her second full-length studio album, Hot Pink, is built with her own beats as well as a series of videos written and conceived by herself.[32] Doja called Hot Pink a firm restart for her career, and the most "refined, chiseled" representation of herself. Her escapist fantasy worldview is reflected in the music by its upbeat production style.[32] The record was inspired by some drastic lifestyle changes including an "illuminating" acid trip which made her quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana.[32]

Personal life

Dlamini is relatively quiet about her personal life, noting in September 2021 that the general public should "not [...] expect to hear who she's dating until they're married".[185] She has not yet formally come out or made a definitive statement about her sexual orientation,[186] but has claimed to "like both. [...] I like people that I can have sex with. You can kind of have sex with anybody, right?"[187][188] She has also alluded to her queer sexuality in the song "Naked" on which she raps that she "like[s] bananas and peaches".[189] In August 2019, she began dating indie pop musician Jawny, although the pair split up in February 2020.[190][191]

In June 2020, Dlamini donated $100,000 to the Justice for Breonna Taylor Fund, in support of Taylor's family.[192]

On July 24, 2020, Dlamini revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 in an interview with Capital Xtra, adding, "I'm OK now. It was a four-day symptom freak-out but I'm fine now".[193] On December 12, 2021, she revealed she tested positive for COVID-19 a second time, and cancelled the remainder of her iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour.[194]

In early 2021, Dlamini bought a home in Beverly Hills, California, for $2.2 million.[195]

Public image

Doja Cat has been noted for being versatile in her music. This includes her ability to sing, rap, and produce,[196][38][197][198][199] as well as act, perform and dance.[200][201] Often described as eccentric,[185][202][37] she is known for her absurdly humorous personality and posts on social media platforms.[6][7][9][32][203][204] Bryan Rolli of Forbes wrote that "Doja Cat's aloof, irreverent, chronically online persona masks a tireless work ethic; she sings better, raps faster and dances harder than many of her peers, all at once."[205] In an article for Okayplayer, Robyn Mowatt noted that "as a singer, rapper, songwriter, and entertainer Doja has led her fans on a rambunctious journey equipped with snappy lyrics, live video streams, outlandish outfits, and memorable viral moments. It's not just the music that gets her fans riled up, it's also her live performances which typically are infused with a touch of eccentricity."[206]

Controversies

In 2018, Doja Cat sparked controversy on social media when her Twitter history revealed the usage of the word "faggot".[207] In a tweet from 2015, she used the word to describe hip hop artists Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt.[208] Doja Cat initially defended her past remarks but later issued a series of apologies for her words and has since deleted her tweets.[209] As a result of the controversy, Doja Cat was declared the Milkshake Duck of 2018 by NME.[207]

In March 2020, Doja Cat received backlash after saying on Instagram live that COVID-19 was "only a flu" and that she was not scared of it.[210][211] Later that October, Doja Cat was criticized for participating in Kendall Jenner's Halloween and birthday celebrations during the COVID-19 pandemic.[212]

In May 2020, a 2015 song by Doja Cat titled "Dindu Nuffin" resurfaced.[213] "Dindu Nuffin" is an alt-right term used to ridicule African-American victims of police brutality who claim they are innocent.[213][214] After apologizing, Doja Cat said that although the song was intended to flip the term's meaning, it was a "bad decision".[215] Doja Cat denied that the song was a response to the death of Sandra Bland, calling the allegation "one of the most awful rumors that I've ever encountered."[216][217][173] She took to Instagram to address multiple accusations and past actions after footage began circulating of her on Tinychat in a chat room saying "nigger".[173][202] She apologized to those offended and said she should not have been on certain chat room sites, although she maintained that she had never been involved in any racist conversations.[173][215][218] Frequent users of the chat room later came forth and revealed that the nature of the chatroom was not specifically racist, also saying that Doja Cat never said anything discriminatory in her conversations.[219]

Doja Cat's 2020 performance of "Say So" at the MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony was criticized when some viewers noted that the guitar solo in the performance was identical to the one in Plini's 2016 song "Handmade Cities".[220][221] The next month Plini reported that Doja Cat left him an apologetic message through social media.[222][223][224]

In March 2022, Doja Cat was criticized by Paraguayan fans for not "showing enough love"[vague] to their country following a storm that canceled a festival she was scheduled to perform at.[225] Doja Cat complained that there were no fans waiting for her outside the hotel, which caused anger in the fans who went during the storm and were not recognized.This situation worsened when it was seen that the rapper liked a post on Twitter that stated "Paraguayans don't have money to feed their children, let alone pay for a show by her."[226] The incident also sparked several social media accounts to spew false and misleading images, racist and anti-Semitic remarks, and death threats against the rapper.[citation needed] Following the situation, Doja Cat announced that she would be quitting music, tweeting, "Everything is dead to me, music is dead, and I'm a fucking fool for ever thinking I was made for this ... This shit ain't for me so I'm out. Y'all take care."[227]
