Discussing her disdain for the social platform now called X, Doja Cat revealed the online pop culture subsection of the site was the inspiration for her Scarlet song “F*** the Girls.”
“It’s me saying f*** Stan Twitter,” Doja said. “There’s that obsessiveness behind it, all the malice towards women in stan culture. The condescending-ness of people being like, ‘mother, oh my god, queen, mother,’ and expecting them to give and deliver and serve for the purpose of serving and not just expressing themselves. And in the same breath they’ll insult that person as well as call them ‘mother.’ None of that s*** is real, that’s where ‘F*** the Girls’ comes from.”
These latest claims, shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as Doja has pushed back at online fandom before many times. Which earlier this year, resulted in a fallout with some fans over the often parasocial relationship between artists and their fanbase. “I don’t even know y’all,” she told one fan on Threads who asked her to declare her love for her followers.
While talking to Darden, Doja wanted to make it clear and dispel the dialogue that she hates her fans. “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,” she explained. “I know that people who get it, get it. 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, and it’s not my responsibility to have them understand.”
At another point in there conversation, Doja expressed, “I also think I’m way too f***ing famous.” She continued, “There’s some fans I have who know I don’t put any effort or involvement into whatever the f*** that negative ass s*** was. I don’t need to explain myself. I don’t need to prove myself to bunch of people who are just going to project no matter what I say. There’s people who are incredibly dogmatic, it doesn’t matter what the f*** you do.”
Doja also addressed claims of her videos containing satanic imagery, and promoting satanism. Expressing she at times enjoys the speculation, but in actuality it has nothing to do with that. “What it is, is I like this piece of visual art. I like this visual for this sound… And people made up what they want, which is what you do with art… you interpret it how you wanna interpret it.”
“But this whole very confident satanism thing is like… I’m sorry when the f*** did I say that I was a satanist?" Noting that the conjecture can be “really tacky, and annoying, and f***ing discredits a lot of the hard work that I’ve put in.”
Ultimately, Doja knows that being able to please all her fans all the time is an impossible task, and has actually found peace with acknowledging that. “I’m not gonna make everyone happy, and that’s just that,” she said. “I’m just not, and I know that I’m not, so that’s freed me immensely.”
