Doja Cat’s “Scarlet” Performers Take Over U.K. Streets As She Breaks A New Spotify Record

by

Scarlet is finally here, and if there’s anyone in the United Kingdom who didn’t know, they found out the hard way on Saturday (September 23). Moreover, Doja Cat sent out various actors covered from head to toe in red tights and paint to promote the new project. As they dance and make wild faces for the amused crowd, you can hear some of the Los Angeles native’s new tracks in the background. It’s certainly a creative way to create buzz around a new phase in your career, especially such a seemingly dark aesthetic turn. Still, it’s not like the “Paint The Town Red” MC has never played with aesthetics like these before in her music or with her image.

As such, this is actually quite the cool and fitting promo move for Doja Cat, especially in another country outside of her own. Lots of people are probably tired of hearing about her supposed satanic ties in the States, and maybe other nations haven’t caught up yet. Regardless, it’s something that clearly caught passerby’s eyes, as you can see people pulling out their phones as they approach the dancers. Also, with Halloween right around the corner, the move could be the dawn of the spooky season this year for anyone who saw it.

What’s more is that the 27-year-old’s promotional efforts proved to pay off, and will likely continue to do so. According to Chart Data, Doja Cat’s Scarlet officially broke Spotify’s record for the biggest debut for a female artist’s hip-hop album in the platform’s history. This puts her in the same league as titans like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and many more superstars. Of course, the hitmaker was already in that conversation, but this is just adding a little extra proof to silence any doubters.

Meanwhile, this commercial success also hints that she will have a top ten debut on the Billboard 200 chart with Scarlet. It’s been interesting to hear fan reception to the album considering Doja’s public controversies and her change in aesthetics. Do you think she stuck the landing? Let us know in the comments and come back to HNHH for the latest on Doja Cat.

Doja Cat & Doechii Lead The Way On Our Latest “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

As we enter the final months of the year, plenty of artists want to keep the heat up on our latest Fire Emoji playlist update. Leading the way is Doja Cat, who just dropped her highly anticipated and evolutionary new album, Scarlet. In particular, the tracks “Wet Vagina” and “Agora Hills” pack a big punch, showcasing how the Los Angeles native leveled up her rapping game. However, no one this week was able to best Doechii’s raw and gritty energy on her latest single, “Pacer.” Following plenty of other hit releases and more industry crew by the week, the TDE MC is poised to cement herself as a top-tier lyricist and artist very soon.

In addition, our Fire Emoji playlist highlights Moneybagg Yo and Sexyy Red’s new collab single, the raunchy but simply effective “Big Dawg.” Of course, it wasn’t just chart-toppers and established stars that impressed this week. For example, 2FeetBino and BabyDrill’s new cut “Starstruck” is a hard-hitting piece of trap that is as bombastic, confident, and boastful as you would expect. It’s more expressive and passionate than your average street rap odyssey, while using the elements like sparse, menacing pianos that make those tracks memorable.

Moving away from stateside hip-hop on Fire Emoji, though, UK drillers Headie One, K-Trap, and Clavish form a smooth and relentless “TRIPLE THREAT” with their new single. Also, Doja wasn’t the only one to drop an LP this week, with Lil Tecca’s “Dead or Alive” being a rage-infused highlight on his new project TEC. Other highlights on that album include features from Kodak Black and Ken Carson, plus the playful and infectious melodies that the 21-year-old is well-known for. Speaking of catchy melodies, Bryson Tiller assisted Lola Brooke’s new song “You,” which is a bit of a throwback to 2000s R&B/rap crossovers.

Finally, EARTHGANG and the supergroup Spillage Village’s “Flavors of Karma” is a funky, off-kilter, and lyrically and structurally impressive cut from the duo’s new EP RIP Human Art. As for this week’s lyrical standout, look no further than Rome Streetz and Joey Bada$$’s new collaboration, “Fire At Ya Idle Mind.” If you want to hear these and other amazing bangers from this year, check out our Fire Emoji playlist update above.

Doja Cat Shatters Spotify’s Records History With This New Achievement

by

With this year’s run of new singles, the most recent of which (“Balut“) arrived this week, Doja Cat is on fire. Moreover, the Los Angeles artist built up a lot of steam with impressive rap performances, ethereal instrumentals, and a lot of social media promotion and hype. Now, we have a newly broken all-time Spotify record to represent her dominance and success in this new era of her career. The 27-year-old now has the most monthly listeners out of any female rapper in history with over 65.7 million. For those curious, the next MC in line is Nicki Minaj, who has about 61.6 million monthly Spotify listeners as of writing this article.

Fans likely remember that the Queen’s remix of Doja Cat’s “Say So” shot to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. That was their first No. 1 single individually, and the “Attention” rapper nabbed another one this year with “Paint The Town Red.” In fact, it was the first rap song to claim the highest spot on those charts in over a year. As if this story wasn’t already tightly woven enough, the last rap song to have done so was Nicki’s own “Super Freaky Girl.”

Furthermore, all this success and acclaim is leading up to Doja Cat’s next album, Scarlet, which die-hards have been waiting patiently for over a long period of time. However, that’s not to say that it’s all been peaches and cream when it comes to her fanbase and this album rollout. The Planet Her hitmaker lost a lot of fans with her public statements, such as speaking negatively on superfans, dismissing her past catalog, and her rumored relationship with controversial figure J. Cyrus. With these new singles, though, she proved that all of that can become moot if you continue to back it up with great art.

Still, we’ll see if that persists as a narrative leading up to Scarlet or if her extracurriculars catch up to her. It’s been a very interesting back-and-forth to witness, especially considering that these new singles are quite the sonic shift from past albums. As chaotic as media coverage around her has been as of late, nothing is quite as important as the music. The numbers come after, and they give credence to her evolution. With that in mind, log back into HNHH for the latest updates and news on Doja Cat.

Doja Cat’s “Scarlet”: New Reports Hint At Album Length & Tracklist Size

by

Doja Cat’s upcoming album Scarlet will arrive amid massive hype concerning new sounds, a strained fanbase relationship, and two excellent singles in “Attention” and “Paint The Town Red.” Moreover, new reports online hinted at the tracklist’s size and the overall project’s length, though they are unconfirmed as of writing this article. According to Pop Tingz, the 27-year-old’s latest full-length effort will contain 20 tracks, totaling 55 minutes in length. Furthermore, this means that there would be an average track length of almost three minutes, which the two singles already broke. As such, there will probably be plenty of surprises and variety across the LP, and we’d expect no less from the superstar.

“This new album is more introspective, but I’m not leaning so hard into that to where it becomes boring,” Doja Cat told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview. “So I want to give stories and bops. It’s a nice mixture of both. I think this project is a really fun canvas for me to play with my rap skills and talk about what’s going on in my life. But I’m not abandoning who I was and what I know about pop and singing and that aspect of music.”

Doja Cat’s Rumored New Album Updates

However, we still don’t know when Scarlet (one of plenty of working titles the Los Angeles native cycled through during this rollout) will come out. Considering that, these new reports on the tracklist are cool to hear, but it looks like it’ll still be a relative surprise drop. Maybe fans will wake up one day and the album will just be out, or Doja Cat is waiting to drop the release date and extend this promo cycle even more. Either way, with a lot of anticipation, controversy, and media attention behind Scarlet, it’s sure to make a huge impact.

Meanwhile, it seems like the “Tia Tamera” MC might move on to other things after this album drops. Recently, she expressed a desire to star in comedy and action films, putting her music career on the back burner for some screen time. With her creativity and versatility in mind, no doubt it could make for some great moments. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat.

Dionne Warwick Shows Love To Doja Cat For Sampling Her On “Paint The Town Red”

by

Through the art of sampling, artists that you never would’ve expected to link up can create a meaningful bond. As small as they can be, it’s always nice to see distinct musical worlds from different eras bridge together. Of course, it’s usually the result of a great song, and that’s exactly what happened with Doja Cat’s new single “Paint The Town Red.” It samples the legendary Dionne Warwick’s “Walk On By,” and she recently uploaded an Instagram video shouting the rapper and singer out for her homage. Moreover, the soul and R&B star also suggested that fans who might not have heard of the song check it out.

“I wanted to say, I think it’s wonderful that these youngsters who are recording today had decided to listen to some really good stuff of the old folks,” Dionne Warwick expressed concerning Doja Cat. “Those that been recording for well over 20, 30, 40, 50 years and making decisions that good music plays a very important part. So I’m thrilled that you’re discovering us, that you’re keeping us alive.” The 82-year-old earned her first Grammy nomination for “Walk On By,” which she released in April of 1964.

Dionne Warwick Thanks Doja Cat

“Did you know that Doja Cat’s recording is gonna be released today?” Dionne Warwick continued. “Now listen, all through the recording is a song that she sampled and [I’m] somehow quite familiar with. I must say that and I certainly hope you are too. This little thing called ‘Walk on By.’ Yeah, I am all through that recording, which is very nice of her to do. I certainly do hope this is lucky and good to her as it has been to me.”

Meanwhile, this is just the latest tribute to Warwick’s outstanding career, and a more tangible display of her influence and impact. With Doja saying that she switched up her sounds a lot for her next project, we can only dream of what else she sampled. These singles have proven to be tastefully contemporary while still making reference to the past, and there’s only more heat in the vault to come. Considering that, for more news and the latest updates on Doja Cat and Dionne Warwick, check back in with HNHH.

by

Ahead of a new album drop and a tour later this year, Doja Cat is adding another big event to her 2023 resumé. Moreover, as reported by Harper’s Bazaar, the Los Angeles artist will headline The Victoria’s Secret World Tour show, premiering via Prime Video on September 26. Not only is this a big moment for her, but also for the brand; the half-fashion show and half-documentary spectacle is its first foray into TV production since its last on-air runway show in 2018. In addition, the World Tour will feature VS20, a crew of 20 artists from all over the globe that worked on ensembles for the revitalization. In fact, the 27-year-old herself contributed to design choices for her performance looks alongside the VS team and her creative director, Brett Alan Nelson.

Furthermore, one of these looks was previewed in Harper’s Bazaar‘s exclusive coverage of the announcement. One of them is a nude-hued ensemble with latex and a lot of creative and futuristic embellishments. Overall, this is a pretty exciting and impressive career step-up for Doja Cat in the realms of fashion and high-profile performance. Also, the “Woman” artist spoke to the publication about what this partnership means to her- and what fans can expect.

“Victoria’s Secret has always been such a fun, go-to brand for me since early on, and I love that I can still say that today,” Doja Cat stated. “Being a part of a global phenomenon like the Tour has been an incredible experience. Because the Tour is a celebration of the strength and unique talent of creatives, we really wanted to channel this message through this look. I felt so powerful and confident wearing these pieces, which is so important to me.

“My idea of what makes me beautiful, sexy, and confident has evolved so much over the years,” she continued. “But I’ve always known that what matters most is how I feel about myself. To me, sexy is being comfortable in my own skin and celebrating myself for who I am. Being a part of the Tour really helped connect me with that.” Also, Doja gave some hints about her next musical direction. “I don’t want to spoil too much, but like past projects, there’s lots of different energy to songs, plus new sounds that I’ve never explored before. So that is exciting to me, and I can’t wait to put it out.” With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat.

Doja Cat Rocks A Bloody Nose In Surreal IG Photo Dump

by

Doja Cat’s career is illustrious enough to the point where she doesn’t have to depend on social media to get her name out there. As such, pretty much anything she does on Internet platforms seems to be for fun, yet ends up causing a lot of conversation. Moreover, the artist’s recent photo dump on Instagram sees her sporting a bloody nose, and fake or real, she does not shy away from it at all. While smiling for the camera and putting her face up, close, and personal with it, she didn’t bother to clean herself up- at least, for the first couple of pictures. Eventually, the Los Angeles native included some mirrored snaps and a lo-fi pic of her in a colorful pink crop-top and white headband.

Of course, Doja Cat often posts a lot of provocative, sultry, hilarious, or downright bizarre photographs on her Instagram and Twitter, in particular. For example, for 4th of July, she recently posted nearly nude pics with an American-flag bikini eating hot dogs and popsicles. Sure, it got people talking, but fans buzzed about the 27-year-old earlier this year for very different reasons. With the release of “Attention” in mid-June, it’s finally time for another Doja album cycle, which might be her best yet.

Doja Cat’s Bloody New Selfies

Still, it’s not like the singer, songwriter, and rapper is super keen on all the wild hype that surrounded her single’s drop. After all, some fans loved it so much that they tore down promotional posters of it on the streets for themselves- which she didn’t appreciate. “Stealing my advertisements off of the walls around the city is super f***ed up,” Doja Cat expressed on her Instagram Story. “We don’t put those up for free, so keep that in mind. You’re wack, and I don’t f**k with you if you’re doing that. Use your f***ing brain.”

Meanwhile, that energy will probably rise exponentially (and hopefully manifests in better ways) during her upcoming tour. It’ll run from October to December across North America, and she tapped Ice Spice and Doechii to accompany her. We’ll see how many people in that crowd can say that they’ve seen her with a bloody nose. Regardless, check out that tour info below and come back to HNHH for the latest on Doja Cat.

Doja Cat Has Fans Speculating On New Release With Latest Instagram Post

by

Doja Cat has been teasing her next album for a long time, whether seriously or jokingly. However, her latest Instagram post is the most solid confirmation fans have gotten in a while that Doja season is approaching fast. Moreover, she captioned a collection of photos with a simple clock emoji, indicating that it’s almost time for a drop. The post itself features a picture of a sleek car and two pictures of the artist in a black leather jacket amid moody lighting. Presumably, these snaps might come from an upcoming music video or promo visual of sorts. No matter the case, fans are ready for the action.

In fact, it seems like Doja Cat built up to this moment somewhat naturally over the course of the past few months. Of course, that’s due in no small part to her excellent appearance on the remix of SZA’s “Kill Bill.” After breaking out into the larger pop music world, the Los Angeles native came through with a solid rap verse amid hints that she’s returning to that style in full. Given her creative artistry and the wide range of influences she plays with, expect the unexpected from her next album.

Doja Cat Might Have Just Teased Her Next Drop On IG

Furthermore, the project is reportedly titled Hellmouth, and Doja Cat actually gave us somewhat of a release timeline recently. While addressing people hating on her latest hairstyle, she pondered quitting Twitter until her lead single drops. “Saw somebody edit hair onto my head for this look i did last night and it made me mad. So i wanted to let them know they should be making money instead,” the 27-year-old expressed on the social media platform. “Im also aware of the ramifications of the last tweet and that I’ll only be seeing edits of me with hair for the next 4 weeks so I’ll be logging off / deleting twitter till my lead comes out.”

Meanwhile, here are some more details the “Tia Tamera” MC shared online as to her next project. ““i also agree with everyone who said the majority of my rap verses are mid and corny. I know they are,” she tweeted, “I wasnt trying to prove anything, I just enjoy making music. But I’m getting tired of hearing yall say that i can’t so I will. Pop isnt exciting to me anymore. If you wanted a teaser into what I’ve been thinking about, that’s what I’ve been on a lot. And just to make it clear, Beastie Boys is a huge inspiration to me. Beastie Boys will hit you with hard, loud and crazy rap. But they’ll also hit you with real raw 90s punk, which I love. Or smooth techno that feels sexy and sleek.” With that in mind, return to HNHH for the latest on Doja Cat.

Doja Cat Poses Sultrily In Cat Suit On Instagram

by

Doja Cat was asked many things at the 2023 Met Gala, to which all she could respond was a firm, cheeky, and slightly inflammatory “Meow.” Moreover, her stunning tribute to gala theme Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette turned all heads at the ceremony. Not only did she arrive in a shimmering cat suit dress, but she employed prosthetic makeup to fully emulate the cat look. Furthermore, if we were in her position, we also wouldn’t give up a fit like that so easily. In addition to her show-stopping pics from the gala, the “Woman” artist posted some more pictures of her laying on her bed with her cat suit.

Of course, the 27-year-old’s fashion choice wasn’t the most controversial part of her 2023 Met Gala appearance. Fans were quick to notice online that Doja Cat was spotted vaping on multiple occasions throughout the night. Considering that she previously canceled some tour dates due to throat surgery, this was disappointing for many fans. Still, if there’s anything we can count on Doja for, it’s to do things her own way and make impactful artistic statements while doing so.

Doja Cat Keeps Her Stunning Met Gala Outfit On Display

Even though she might be banned from the Met Gala in later years as a result, maybe she won’t. After all, Doja Cat is one of the most beloved and talked about fashionistas in pop culture at the moment. Not featuring her during her insane relevancy in music and fashion today would be a huge missed opportunity. Just look at how mad fans got when neither Beyoncé, Zendaya, nor many others graced the gala this year. Regardless, apparently “no smoking” is a pretty big rule there, so we’ll see how consequential the aftermath really is.

Beyond that fan debate, Diddy and Doja Cat hosted an afterparty for the occasion shortly after it wrapped up. Guests included Cardi B, Paris Hilton, Emily Ratajkowski, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, and Bad Bunny. No matter what went on behind the scenes or during interviews, it seems like they all had an opulent blast. Meanwhile, if you want the latest updates and news on the Planet Her star, check back in with HNHH.

Doja Cat Arrives In “Purr”fect Style At The 2023 Met Gala

by

The 2023 Met Gala is absolutely packed with fantastic looks, luxurious ensembles, and a whole lot of stars. Despite all the commotion, it’s no surprise that Doja Cat and her stunning choice of style is one of the most talked-about fits of the evening. Moreover, the “Freaky Deeky” rapper showed up in cat makeup and a sparkly white dress complete with cat ears, fully embracing her name. In fact, it’s a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette, as the German fashion designer was this year’s theme. Not only that, but Jared Leto had a similar idea, showing up in a full cat bodysuit before revealing his look.

However, it’s easy to see why the 27-year-old stole the show, with her creative mix of makeup and wardrobe to pay homage. Also, it’s quite the payoff considering the very minimal tease that she gave fans on Instagram of her Met Gala fit. While they didn’t have much to go by, they always count on Doja Cat to deliver some eye-catching fits. Among a lot of other astonishing looks and appearances, hers is emblematic of the creativity and bombast she’s known for.

Choupette Tributed At The Met Gala

In addition to all this, the Los Angeles native also updates her followers on upcoming new music. Specifically, she suggested that she would be dropping a single in the coming weeks while expressing frustration with reception to her latest hairstyle. “Saw somebody edit hair onto my head for this look i did last night and it made me mad so i wanted to let them know they should be making money instead,” Doja Cat tweeted. “Im also aware of the ramifications of the last tweet and that I’ll only be seeing edits of me with hair for the next 4 weeks so I’ll be logging off / deleting twitter till my lead comes out.”

All in all, she continued her streak of impressive and out-of-the-box fits at the 2023 Met Gala. Considering that allegedly she left her hotel either covered in umbrellas or held up in a plastic bag, the quality of her outfit made sense to be hidden until the big reveal. Furthermore, if you’re looking for more amazing Met Gala highlights, stay logged into HNHH. Also, stay posted on the site for the latest news and updates on all things Doja Cat and check out more snaps of her appearance below.
