Doja Cat Has Spicy Reaction To Rumors That She Dissed Cardi B On New Track

Doja Cat is clearing the air about her rumoured jabs at fellow rapper Cardi B.

After a track from the upcoming deluxe version of her Scarlet album leaked on the internet, many fans began speculating that the Agora Hills performer took a shot at Cardi in her lyrics.

In one snippet from her new rumoured song, Acknowledge Me, that’s been circulating on social media, Doja rapped: “You out here actin’ like you sniffin’ on some Carly Rae/ Cartier on you, but you walkin’ like you Cardi B.”

On Wednesday, the Grammy winner addressed the rumours on X while revealing one of her favourite songs from the new project.

“DISRESPECTFUL is one of my Top 3 [favourite tracks],” Doja wrote, prompting a fan to question: “OK, but which one did you whack Cardi B on?”

Doja quickly shut down the purported diss, writing back: “None of them get a fuckin life.”

Cardi B has not yet publicly addressed Doja’s statement.

Doja also responded to another fan who mistook the lyrics from Acknowledge Me as a nod to rapper Coi Leray.

“I have no idea what that means. Maybe I have the Coi Leray part wrong? Either way, walking like you’re Cardi B feels like props. We’ve seen Cardi walk… Mama’s bad,” the user wrote.

Clarifying her lyrics, Doja simply replied, “Carly Rae,” referring to the Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen.

Last week, the Woman star called out her fans for mocking the texture of her hair after she posted the cover art for her upcoming single, Masc, which features a close-up image of her natural hair, on social media.

Doja told her detractors to stop comparing her tight curl pattern, known as 4C hair, to “sheep and pubes and carpet and popcorn and shit like that,” according to footage shared by Pop Base on X.

“We got to move forward. Let’s move forward. Let’s grow,” she said, adding, “I can’t tell you what to do. I’m not your fucking parents. I don’t want to say too much.”

Cardi B And Offset Announce Birth Of Second Child With Beautiful Family Photo

Cardi B announced the birth of her second child with husband Offset Monday in a sweet Instagram post showing the couple gazing at their new baby.

She captioned the photo simply, “9/4/21” ― presumably confirming the newborn arrived on 4 September ― and included dinosaur, blue heart and teddy bear emojis.

The WAP rapper and Migos member already have a daughter together, three-year-old Culture. Offset also has three older children from previous relationships.

Cardi B publicly revealed her pregnancy during the 2021 BET Awards in June.

During Migos’ Type S**t performance, she joined them onstage wearing a custom bodysuit with a mesh cutout showing her pregnancy bump.

The next day, she thanked fans for their “congrats and well wishes” in an Instagram post featuring an affectionate photo of herself and Offset.

“We listened to each other, communicated, prayed and then God blessed us and our family with another little blessing,” she wrote. “Our home feels so blissful and very busy… but we are ready and so happy!!”

Cardi B Hits Back At Accusations Of Queerbaiting: ‘I Don’t Like This New Word’

Cardi B has hit back at accusations of “queerbaiting” in her latest music video.

The term is often used to describe straight performers who hint at non-heterosexual encounters, without actually depicting them, to attract LGBT fans.

A Rolling Stone article on the subject included a reference to Cardi B’s Wild Side video with singer Normani, noting a social media user had accused them of queerbaiting.

The rapper, who is expecting her second child with husband Offset, said the term could pressure artists into divulging details about their private lives.

“I don’t like this new ‘queer baiting’ word,” she tweeted. “I feel like it pressure artist to talk about their sexuality or their experiences that they don’t feel comfortable speaking about.

“If a artist kiss a girl on a video does that means she gotta show videos & text wit wit other women?”

Addressing the Rolling Stone article, 28-year-old Cardi B said: “You do know we was trying to hide a whole baby bump right?”

She added: “Also I’m married to a man but I have express soo much about my bisexuality and my experiences wit girls. All of a sudden “queer baiting” is the new word & people use it to the ground!”

Queerbaiting is not a new subject in pop music.

Rita Ora was criticised in 2018 for her song Girls, which featured Cardi B, Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha.

Rita claims she intended the song to be a celebration of bisexuality but was accused of being exploitative.

She later released a statement apologising and said: “I would never intentionally cause harm to other LGBTQ+ people or anyone.”

Madonna was recently accused of queerbaiting over her famous kiss at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
