LMAO, she's in full on scorched Earth mode I see. This is why forming toxic parasocial relationships with your fans is never a good idea. Yeah, she's being an ass, but they're always being assholes too. It was bound to implode at some point.
I'm here for the music and that's it.

Same but.
She's getting bigger and these mfs on Twitter do the most. It's hard to filter out the asshats and the non controlling fans. Her dating relationships really have nothing to do with me/us.🤷🏾

There are always going to be crazy Stan’s. But once you diss one, you diss them all. She would’ve faired better if she specified which toxic Stan behaviours she was referring to. Or just ignored it all together and let the backlash of her bf die down. Kittens would’ve easily gotten over it with the new single release.
This is why I keep saying celebs need to get off twitter. You can easily have a social media manager handle it for you. And if you must know what your fans are thinking, discussing etc. , they can relay it back to you and filter through the bullshit.
I remember she said that’s what she was doing during the chat room scandal. Idk why she stopped. Unless she finds this fun, then lol.

The fans are a mess, but so is Doja. It’s so easy to just…not engage. And she only fans the flames. There’s more tactful ways to tell fans to stay in their lanes (not that they’re gonna listen anyway, so why bother). There’s more tactful ways to move onto material that you’re actually excited about. She’s just alienating the fanbase that she had, which is just a poor business decision.
Not sure if she cares, but I better not hear sound bites from her in the future boohooing about not having support. That’s a self-inflicted wound.
Don’t spend years cultivating parasocial relationships and act surprised when your fans are psycho.

I have no clue what she’s going through, but saying I love my fans has always been a thing. It means you appreciate them. I doubt anyone thinks she loves them unless they met face to face for awhile. She should get a little more appreciative of her fans or they will find another Doja Cat.

She's coming for that respect, I see. Hip-hop heads haven't really been checking for Doja, since her focus has really been on pop, but I am so ready.

at the end of the day there's nothing inheritedly harmful abt stanning a certain artist and it's not a good look for her to go off on her fans the way she has but at the same time this is a good reminder abt why forming a parasocial relationship with people you've never met isn't a good idea. like it's one thing to love doja cat's music and eagerly await her next release but doing shit like mindlessly defending her through all of her controversies strikes me as. a form of copium at best and genuinely life ruining (see: heller, timothy) at worst
i know there's an expectation these days that loving an artist's music means you have to love them as a person but like. just admit that you're separating the art from the artist and bop away ! or if you can't bring yourself to do that find another rap girly to sink your teeth into, we're literally living in the easiest ever time to discover new music so there's no excuse for not branching out if you're not satisfied with the current "it" crowd

I like it to be honest. It deserves to be a hit, but with how she is acting I cannot imagine it being a hit. At least she doesn't care.

Its giving Kanye and I really don’t want to see that for her because she’s talented, smart, different and has an opinion. She’s valid for how she feels but I wish she came back to give a bit more context and humility. i love the new single and want to see her put out the music that SHE wants but when you do that, if the GP aren’t tracking, your loyal fans will. Wishing her the best.

So basically, just your standard Doja Cat album minus Dr. Luke. The two singles were not at all a departure from her previous stuff. Did all that denouncing & ranting on twitter for what exactly?.

A weird pivot. I feel like after all that ranting, a well-done, decidedly non-poppy album was the right move. Especially to retain her fanbase and gain some more musical credibility after all of that mess. We'll see if she has enough public support left when/if she decides to release a more hooky/poppy/radio-friendly song. This era is unsurprisingly underperforming so far, and it's not hard to see why. Never heard of an artist rolling out an era by saying they don't love their fans.

I dunno if I agree that her new stuff is more of the same. Her older work had some rap peppered in there, but she's definitely leaning more into traditional hip-hop. The vocal hooks she's talking about have always been a part of the genre too. One or two on a track doesn't make it the same shit, lol
She hasn't lost that much traction either. Most people don't use Twitter or even pay attention to this stuff. Hell, her monthly engagement on streaming platforms has stayed net-positive. A handful of people really want her to drown for shutting down parasocial relationships and I don't get why that's a bad thing.

Yeah, I feel like all she really did was weed out the Looney Tune Stans. Good for her. If, for some odd reason she flops, it will be due to the general fickleness of the current-day music listener and not her Social Media posts.

I really wish she was coming to Pittsburgh on her tour. Right when the pandemic happened, I was planning on going to Philly to see the Hot Pink tour, then it was canceled 😞

The tickets were way overpriced here in Austin, but...maybe now they will be cheaper.

Still one of the most exciting & entertaining album campaigns in recent memory I don't care. Also nice to know the album title is Scarlet after all.
