The pop star has always loved out-trolling her trolls. But Doja Cat's fourth album and dramatic rollout pushes that persona further, interpreting her antics through a playfully demonic lens.
, she delights in playing the"demon" her haters and fans accuse her of being., James Baldwin's trenchant 1976 book length essay of film criticism. I'm fond of the section when Baldwin skewers William Friedkin's 1972 horror classic, thumbing his nose up at the film's banal, phony take on demonic possession. Baldwin's point: any conscientious person will know that real evil has nothing to do with the film's levitating beds and pea soup vomit special effects.
But for a pop star who seemed to nearly live online, and who sees every opportunity to be in the public eye as an opportunity to make a viral splash, she also seemed decidedly uncomfortable with the more intrusive aspects of fame. In March 2022, after a canceled Paraguay concert, sheshe was quitting music after fans complained.

Despite — or maybe because of — her willingness to wage war on her public, Doja Cat has remained a fixture on the Hot 100 chart, winning a 2022 best pop duo Grammy for"Kiss Me More" featuring. Of late, Doja Cat has also been badmouthing her back catalog, calling her previous three albums transactional"cash grabs," and labeling her own recorded rap verses"mid and corny.
