“I don’t even like champagne to begin with,” says Doja Cat, as she pops open a bottle of Dom Perignon Rose and pours herself a flute. Hip-pop’s most thrilling new star takes a sip and nods with approval as she waits for SZA—her friend, collaborator, and today, her interviewer—to arrive. “But I bet you this one is going to be good cause it’s pink.”
With each of Doja Cat’s hit singles sounding nothing like the last, the self-made Los Angeles-born singer, producer, and rapper transgresses the stereotypical constructs placed on Black female artists with intent and fervor. Her serving an authentic dose of unconventional hot bubblegum-pop, ass-shaking hip-hop bangers, and a splash of introspective lyricism.
Born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, Doja was raised in L.A. by an artistic Jewish-American mother and South-African father and performer who goes by the name “Crocodile.” While her lineage meant that artistry seemed predestined for Doja, she didn’t take that path for granted. She was making GarageBand tracks for SoundCloud by her teens, and signed to RCA on the back of online buzz at age 17.
In an attention-deficit world, Doja’s slow-burn success feels like proof of her staying power; her dedication has been rewarded with three Grammy nominations this year, and she’s nearly done with her third album,, which is due this summer. Today she’s in high spirits, recounting her latest true-crime show obsession or TikTok drama between puffs on her vape. Hate her or love her, but Doja Cat is light years ahead of femme pop—she’s also just one of the girls.
“Hello, can y’all hear me?” asks SZA, popping onto the zoom screen with matching wine-colored hair and bangs. “I’ve been on here for mad long, I heard all y’all talking shit,” she says only half-joking. “What’s good?”I’m going to ask the questions that I would want to know as a personal fan of yours. Ok, so did you just fuck around and do every single genre because that’s what we wanna hear? You could do literally anything.
Stupid as fuck
