Doja Cat has never been afraid to push boundaries with her aesthetic and she’s creeped out some fans with some new blood-stained photos.
The eccentric Grammy Award-winner posted a carousel of pics to Instagram on Wednesday (July 12) — which have compiled over 1.8 million likes — sporting a bloody nose, a rainbow crop top and white bottoms.
She even rocked sticker tattoos promoting her favorite designer brands from Dior to Chanel along with bedazzled jewelry on her fingernails and diamonds hanging from her belly button.
Fans were puzzled by the bizarre photos from Doja which seems to be her eclectic mojo. “What’s wrong with this girl,” one person asked in the comments, while another pressed the unfollow button. “Since I fuck with your music, ima unfollow ya instagram. I gotta separate your art from this weird shit you be posting. Still a fan of your work tho Ms. Cat!”
Although, plenty of Doja fans defended her unpredictability as an artist.
“I really hate that black women get hated on for looking alternative, yet nobody bats an eye when white girls look the same,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in: “Can you guys please just let her live you can tell she’s enjoying herself and it’s not directly bothering anyone. y’all are sensitive as fuck if this seems ‘demonic.’”
It was a stark change compared to the reaction to her sexy bikini photoshoot celebrating America’s independence. “Stop you’re gonna make me like America,” one follower said.
The risque pics even drew a reaction in the comment section from UFC champion Israel Adesanya. “I’m gay,” Stylebender joked.
On the music side, Doja Cat unleashed her “Attention” single in June and recently announced The Scarlet Tour which will see her takeover arenas across North America with special guests Doechii and Ice Spice.
Fans are chomping at the bit for a new project and there is speculation Doja Cat will deliver her highly-anticipated follow-up to 2021’s Planet Her prior to hitting the road.
The 24-date includes stops in Las Vegas, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Brooklyn, Boston, Detroit, and Toronto, and will wrap up in Chicago on December 13.
