Trolls, on the other hand, took issue with Doja Cat’s top genres (alternative, adult alternative, rock, indie rock, and pop), which didn’t shockingly did not include rap.
Now, Doja Cat is clapping back at the racially motived remarks. “You minimize blackness to a musical genre,” she wrote. “You are not the measurer of the black experience. You don’t know me and I will continue to enjoy and listen to the music I love created by all different races of people.”
After a supporter injected to suggest that Doja ignore the vile comments, she swiftly replied: “I have the freedom to give people my perspective in the face of ignorance, so I will from time to time.”
