Words To Live By: Doja Cat In All Her Unfiltered Glory
Today, Doja Cat rings in her 25th birthday and oddly enough, it feels like she’s been around in the industry for ages. That being said, despite all the madness this year has brought forth, it’s still proven to be a game-changing era in Doja’s career. For starters, the young star made heads turn when she earned her first No. 1 claim on the Hot 100 charts with her remixed version of ‘Say So’ featuring Nicki Minaj.
And since then, Doja has simply been catapulted to super stardom. Over the past few months, she’s managed to nab some equally impressive collaborations alongside seasoned acts like The Weeknd, Anne-Marie, Bebe Rexha and if we’re lucky, we might even get a track with Ariana Grande before October comes to a close! So, as Doja continues to bask under the spotlight, one her birthday we figured we’d put down some of her most iconic quotes. From slices about her life, career and love for music – here’s Doja Cat, in all her authentic, humorous, unfiltered glory.

1. “I’m a bit of a tomboy, but then a girly girl. And I feel like you can be both.”
2. “I believe there are talented female rappers out there that aren’t one-dimensional. It’s OK to be one-dimensional, by the way.”
3. “That’s a small portion of my career, taking a moment to do something stupid.”
4. “I tried writing a song and it wasn’t very good. I sung it to my mom and she told me it was bad – but I was eight, so it’s okay.”
5. “I think I wanted to sing, but I just couldn’t because I was so shy. I didn’t really know how to begin that other than like, singing in my room, locking the door, and trying to sing kind of quietly. I knew my mom would want to listen and she would probably bug me about it.”
6. “I love R&B and hard-hitting, slappy, intense music with deep chords and moody chords. But I also have a thing for bubbly lullaby music. Kind of like ice-cream truck rap.”
7. “I have a song called ‘Waffles Are Better Than Pancakes.’ If I can’t be goofy, I’ll go insane.”
8. “If your only intent is to be seen, you’ll never be seen. If your intent is to be happy, comfortable, genuine, and true in craft, you’re destined to be noticed.”
9. “I don’t want to name my fandom, I want them to name themselves. If I’m cool with it, I’m cool with it.”
10. “I just like to do the fun stuff. If I’m not having fun with it, I’m not going to do it for the rest of my life.”
