There were quite a few times after concerts I tried to wait for artists and it NEVER worked, lol. And I certainly didn't hold it against the artist or feel entitled to their time. These parasocial relationships are sick and these kids need to get their sh*t together.
That being said, getting down in the mud with these folks isn't a good look and she just inflamed the situation. For a generation that grew up surrounded by social media, it's kind of bizarre watching all of these younger artists completely fail at navigating it.

lol what? people are so entitled it's absurd. she doesn't owe anyone anything, if you don't get your refund take it up with the organizers. Exactly. Nothing Else! The crazy ass twitter people out here dragging her out name and saying prejudice shxt regarding her race, and she most likely saw it, leading her to want to step away. She seems like a perfectionist, but things happen, doesn't mean she needs to get dragged for it cause she cleary wanted to get there.

Reminds me a bit of Cardi getting in these Twitter feuds a couple years ago. There's a certain level of fame where it's OK to not respond to this type of stuff and Doja is certainly above it.

This is the STRANGEST kind of behavior. I don't expect anyone to meet me in terrible weather, let alone someone with a crazy schedule. Fans are acting too entitled. Agreed. Cut the girl some slack.

I'm assuming most artists that perform in Paraguay may do that? Honestly, I don't care, it sounds stupid, and I agree about the fans seeming entitled.
What's odd to me is her incredibly visceral reaction. You're quitting music because some fans were a-holes to you? Makes me wonder if we're seeing mental health issues in real time. Obviously, I hope not, but just seems like an absurd situation that was escalated way beyond belief.

It's common for some fans to camp outside hotels and airports because we rarely get huge acts in Latin America unless it's Brazil, and stans want as much as they can have of their fave. I've seen it happen even for smaller acts like Milky Chance.
I'm not saying I think fans are in the right here, but it has happened. Miley had a lot of fun in similar situations in Argentina, Chile and Colombia in the past week or so.

I think it comes down to the weather, and maybe her lack of knowledge how the fans are there. It seems they’re more upset that she’s not making a simple explanation/apology post. No, they’re not owed time with her, but she does have a responsibility when fans are paying money to see her, or purchase/support her music and career. They just want to see her, and that could have been solved with a I love you guys but I’m busy post. It all could be settled with a simple apology video. Sometimes you have to take the high road, even if you don’t agree. But, that aside, her reaction is a bit emotional, oversensitive, while also being insensitive. I’m kind of the same way, I’m impetuous sometimes and it bites me in the ass, same as her. I think she shouldn’t have her pw like Adele, even Adele wouldn’t act like that. She needs to assess the whole situation and then respond. As with everything, time will pass, emotions will die down. But just know the big picture and react soundly, because there seems to be some confusion as to what happened and what they’re upset about. That’s what publicists are for.

She doesn't have to come out of the hotel to greet the fans, but the deleted tweet of "let that sink in" about nobody being outside of the hotel when she left... was it needed?

I agree with everyone.
Doja (and most artists of today) should stop engaging in tense social media moments unless they can successfully deescalate. Her responses are not doing her any favors. She did fan some flames and the Paraguay fans already feel slighted for not being a popular concert market.
At the same time, the fans need to be at home, not in terrible weather. An explanation would be nice, but it's not an obligation and a rainstorm is pretty self explanatory. I don't think artists should explain or share their every move...but don't be childish either. Bad for business.
A social media break would do her good.

She deleted more tweets and changed her name to “I quit still.” Shows her immaturity. I’m no fan, to say the least, I just enjoy some of her music. Hopefully she can learn to deal with things a little better.

Doja is definitely a petulant brat when it comes to social media and her responses. All the ink on the receipts is bold and easy to see. But yeah, I can't imagine trying to navigate her level of fame in this day and age. I wish her all the best going forward and hope she can establish some clear boundaries in terms of engagement.

I've been seeing news pieces about how Doja doesn't like her current work arrangement and such for some time, and she also have had issues with fans interaction in the past. This one is just kind of a culmination of all those, triggered by what was a cascade of bad events. If she's serious about quitting/taking a break, I hope the best for her.

Hope that the whole drama is just a mental breakdown she will recover soon of after taking a break and that she forgets about all the retiring stuff. I think she’s a great element in today’s pop world.

I would be annoyed by the fans too. She has no responsibility to meet anyone outside her work time.

She's been posting about being burnt out for months now. If she really wants to stop the cycle of recording, promoting, touring, and making videos, she should, to paraphrase Taylor Swift, take her money and her dignity and get the hell out.
It makes me think of Kelly Clarkson starting to write My December at the end of the Breakaway tour when she was burnt out and lonely or when Britney tore her knee from being overworked during the Onyx Hotel Tour.

She's contracted to tour until the end of 2022 between what's left of the Hot Pink tour (defacto turned into Planet HER tour after COVID delays) and opening for the Weeknd.
After that it's as easy as her not recording or dropping another album for a while, but we have no idea how much pressure the label is gonna put on her to deliver after such a huge era. She's still contracted for a few more albums on that god forsaken Dr. Luke label.

Yeah, my immediate thought was that her L*ke contract has her in hell and they are gonna grind her to the bone. Hopefully she's able to get the proper rest and care she needs before she ends up in harm's way.

It’ll also be interesting to see which route she takes for the next album sonically. RCA is obviously going to want another KMM, but I can’t see her wanting to repeat sounds.

Next album is reported to be a double album by some "insiders" but there's very little info about it yet. I'd like one side for Pop and a more rap-driven side.

She did say she wanted to have a rap album produced by 9th Wonder. I would like to see it.

Also when it comes to collaborators, it's cute that her worked with pop acts like Ariana, Megan and The Weeknd, but I feel like they didn't bring much to actually expand her sounds. I'd love to see her work with the likes of Erykah Badu (hello? She bodied Erykah in "So High" and "No Police"), Janelle Monae, and Missy Elliott.
