Doja Cat, the pop star behind the hit songs “Say So” and “Kiss Me More” is trending after a video of her performing at a concert went viral.

The video has sparked mixed reactions online, as some people praised Doja Cat for calling out the white fans who might have felt entitled to say the N-word along with her, while others criticized her for being hypocritical and inconsistent with her racial identity. The people criticizing her, are bringing up past incidents, which they feel are proof she shouldn’t be using the word either, despite her racial background.

Why Do Some People Feel Doja Cat Saying ‘Watch Your Mouth if You’re White’ to White People in Crowd Who Said N-Word During ‘Ain’t Shit’ Performance Wasn’t Authentic?

Doja Cat, whose real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini, is biracial, with a black father from South Africa and a white mother from the US. However, some people have accused her of not being in tune with her black side, citing her past controversies involving allegedly racist chat rooms and a song that mocked victims of police brutality.

In May 2020, Doja Cat was accused of participating in racist chat rooms on the video platform Tinychat, where she allegedly made flirtatious comments to white men who were members of the alt-right incel community. She was also accused of using the N-word with a hard R in front of them.

The controversy continued when she made a song called “Dindu Nuffin”, a term used to disparage black people who are killed by the police. The song was believed to be a reference to Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in police custody in Texas in 2015.

Her critics seem to feel that Doja Cat was trying to pander to black fans by telling white people not to say the N-word. They think the video is all for show, and she truly doesn’t care if white people use the N-Word. They also pointed out that Doja Cat had rarely spoken up about issues affecting black people, such as racism, police brutality, and social justice.

On the other hand, some people defended Doja Cat, and praised her for standing up to the white fans who might have felt entitled to say the N-word along with her. They argued that Doja Cat was being authentic and consistent with her racial identity, and that she had the right to use the N-word as a term of empowerment and reclamation. They also pointed out that Doja Cat had apologized for her past mistakes.

The controversy over Doja Cat’s concert video highlights the complex and nuanced issues surrounding race, identity, and culture in the music industry and society at large. Doja Cat, like many other biracial and multiracial artists, faces the challenge of navigating multiple identities and expectations, while also expressing her creativity and individuality.

Whether her actions are seen as genuine or opportunistic, Doja Cat has certainly sparked a conversation that is worth having.
