It seems Doja Cat isn’t one to shy away from a verbal sparring match, especially when it comes to her art. Fresh off the opening night of her highly anticipated “Ma Vie” world tour in Auckland, New Zealand, the artist has found herself in a heated exchange with fans who voiced their criticisms online.
Opening Night Critiques
While Doja Cat expressed excitement for the tour’s launch, some attendees took to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to share their less-than-enthusiastic reactions. The critiques primarily targeted the tour’s wardrobe, set design, visuals, and the overall storytelling of the performance. Some fans felt the show lacked originality, with one user comparing it to her previous “Scarlet” era, just with different outfits.
Other criticisms suggested a lack of budget from her label, with one fan lamenting, “i usually be on doja side when she clock kittens but..girl js say ur label ain’t give u budget and keep it pushing [loudly crying emoji].” These comments clearly didn’t sit well with the pop star.
Doja Cat’s Fiery Rebuttals
Doja Cat wasted no time firing back, responding with sharp and often aggressive replies. To a fan criticizing her performance, she retorted, “And I’m not your f*cking costume monkey, I move at my own pace and break my f*cking back out there every night so you can keep your bullsh*t opinion to yourself. You are not the artist you are the watcher.”
Her response to being called out for viewing fans as mere “watchers” was equally intense: “Oh f*ck you c*nt you’re no better than a tmz reporter you f*cking low life b*tch.” This exchange highlights Doja Cat’s well-known intolerance for what she perceives as disrespect or hate from her audience.
Looking Ahead on the ‘Ma Vie’ Tour
At 30 years old, Doja Cat is embarking on an extensive world tour, with upcoming dates in Australia and New Zealand before heading to other countries and states. While this opening night has sparked controversy, fans are hoping that future shows will proceed without further fan-artist friction. Her next performance is scheduled for November 22nd in Perth.
