Doja Cat “Balut” Backlash: Filipino Fans Displeased With Singer, She Doesn’t Want Unsolicited Advice

September 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat doesn’t exactly have the public’s favour lately due to her outlandish antics, but it’s hard to deny that her music is doing numbers. Her last album, Planet Her, was all over the charts and TikTok when it first debuted, and as we receive more singles throughout her Scarlet rollout, fans are eager to see if the genre-bending creative will be able to outdo herself this time. The project will finally arrive on Friday (September 22), after successfully getting “Paint The Town Red” to No. 1.

This past New Music Friday (September 15), the blonde beauty shared “Balut” on DSPs, which finds her tapping into her inner Westside Gunn. Amid streaming that, some fans offered unsolicited advice about her LP’s cover art earlier this week that she quickly shut down. “If I listened I would be eating Captain Crunch out of a Solo cup,” Doja replied when someone suggested she use a fan-designed photo for Scarlet instead of the one she’s already revealed.

Doja Cat Prefers to Do Things Her Way

Besides that awkward interaction, there have also been a considerable number of Filipinos calling out Doja for misrepresenting Balut. In her initial explanation, the “Say So” songstress suggested that the dish is a bird that’s still alive when eaten.

“Who eats Balut alive? Girl you don’t need to shame my culture if you don’t understand it,” one Twitter user lashed out. Another person explained that the meal is boiled before being served, which the California native learned when she tried it out for the first time.

Keep scrolling to see what Twitter users are saying about Doja Cat’s “Balut” explanation, as well as a video describing her first time trying the foreign dish. Based on what she shared, would you be able to stomach a meal of fertilized duck egg? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Doja Cat’s ‘Balut’ Explanation Has Her Filipino Fans Up In Arms About Misrepresenting Their Culture

September 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Susmaryosep! Doja Cat’s been on a mission to annoy her fans lately, but her explanation of new single “Balut” may have gone a little too far. Plenty of fans were wondering about the song’s title, which refers to a Filipino street food dish, but her translation of just what that dish actually is has Filipino fans standing up for their culture, which they feel she misrepresented.

“I named the song ‘Balut’ because it signifies a bird that’s being eaten alive,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s a metaphor for Twitter stans and the death of Twitter toxicity. The beginning of ‘X’ and the end of ‘tweets.’”

However, it appears that Doja misunderstood what balut actually is. While the dish does consist of a duck or chicken embryo being eaten out of its own shell, the bird is not alive when its eaten, which would be a little extreme for just about anyone, no matter how “exotic” you may think their culture is. Funnily enough, the majority of the backlash against the misunderstanding came on… well, Twitter (still not calling it “X,” you dork).

“Eaten alive?” one fan questioned. “Who eats balut alive? Girl you dont need to shame my culture if you dont understand it. Pahuya huya ka lang [a Tagalog expression meaning “shame on you,” albeit misspelled by the user].”

Another fan explained that “balut is not eaten alive. It’s already boiled.”

uh, no. balut is not eaten alive. it’s already boiled. https://t.co/5lS5M1ajPe

It seems Doja herself doesn’t quite know what balut is, even after trying it herself. Although she recognized that it is fertilized duck egg, she said it “moved around a bit,” which could be exaggeration on her part or even just a little bit of her imagination getting the best of her. “It wasn’t as whimsical as I thought it would be,” she said. “Like, the full… there’s feathers and it’s like, you know, you’re eating it straight up. It wasn’t like that at all.”

From personal experience: No, there are no feathers, but it is a full bird. The worst part is the toenails. They’re VERY crunchy. But who knows? Maybe you’ll like that sort of thing. Go ahead and try it.

In the meantime, you can listen to “Balut” now and check it out with the rest of Doja’s album Scarlet on Friday, 9/22.

Doja Cat’s New Album ‘Scarlet’: Everything To Know Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The rollout for Doja Cat’s new album Scarlet has been more like a roller coaster — one that Doja herself designed to throw off as many fans as possible, leaving her with only hardcore loyalists and day-ones, people who understand and appreciate her as an artist, not as a product. She scuffed up all the polished, pop-ready surfaces, shaving off her eyebrows and adorning herself in macabre tattoos while delving deeper into the traditionalist hip-hop sounds on which she first cut her teeth.

The strategy, from outside, has had mixed results, but if you ask Doja, it’s working just as she planned. It could also be argued that it’s proven effective commercially as well, with the rollout delivering Doja her second No. 1 single. Now, after a few hiccups regarding the album’s cover art and some indecision about its genre on Doja’s part, Scarlet is just about ready to go. You can check out everything we know about the upcoming album below.

Doja Cat & Her “Big Fat A**” Clap Back At Trolls On IG Live: Watch

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat and her “Kittenz,” as she’s asked them not to call themselves, have a strange relationship, to put it mildly. This has become more evident than ever in 2023, as the Planet Her hitmaker prepares to follow up her award-winning LP with more fire in the form of Scarlet. The genre-bending artist has been updating fans throughout her entire album-making process, sometimes giving us serious details, but more often than not, trolling social media users by sending out silly strings of tweets and not-so-flattering “thirst traps.”

Those who have stuck around as a part of Doja’s fanbase through all the ups and downs are used to her playing games with them. By now, some of them even enjoy teasing her, such as during a recent Instagram Live stream. Over the weekend, the fashionista began broadcasting herself from a dark room, giving out some life updates ahead of Scarlet‘s debut. As 13K+ people tuned in, some of them began to suggest they could see an eerie figure in the dark behind Doja.

Doja Cat Goes Live Ahead of Scarlet Album

Doja Cat responds to a user who told her to look behind her during Instagram Live:

“Yeah b**ch there is something really behind me, a big fat ass. Keep trying me!” pic.twitter.com/Xu07V1KBKr

— Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) September 17, 2023

“Yeah b**ch there is something really behind me,” the 27-year-old entertained those tuning. “A big fat a**,” she continued, looking directly into the camera for comedic effect. “Keep trying me! Keep trying me, at 1 AM. A big, fat f**king wagon. That’s what’s behind me,” Doja assured viewers. “Look behind me? Oh, nothing new! Wait a minute… Nothing new! Just my big fat a**. Try again!”

As of right now, Doja Cat hasn’t named any guest features for her Scarlet LP. Still, her latest single has hip-hop heads begging the California native to join forces with Griselda. On “Balut,” she undeniably channels the East Coast group’s iconic sound while lyricizing about Twitter stans who she spent a chunk of the summer beefing with. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Doja Cat Shares “Balut” Single

‘Scarlet’ arrives Sept. 22.

Doja Cat Puts Her Haters On Notice With Her New Single, ‘Balut’

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat’s new album, Scarlet, drops next week — but tonight (September 15), she’s shared a scorching new single. Her latest, “Balut,” features her addressing rumors about herself, and setting herself apart from her peers in the game.

On “Balut,” Doja dismisses the rumors about drug use and reminds the haters of her fire pen game that got her this far.

“Is it coke? Is it crack? Is it meth? / What the f*ck do she put in them hits? / I’m the sh*t, you a real piece of sh*t / I am needed, you a real needy b*tch I’m competing, you are incompetent,” raps Doja on one of the song’s verses, over a downtempo, lo-fi beat.

On the song’s chorus, she lets us know just how easily this rap game comes to her. “It’s like taking candy from a baby,” she says.

While this particular album era has proven controversial for Doja, her talent has shown to outweigh her antics. Scarlet’s second single, “Paint The Town Red,” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, making it the first rap song to top the charts in 2023.

You can listen to “Balut” above.

Scarlet is out 9/22. Find more information here.
