Doja Cat feels compelled to defend her 'creative choices' on social media

Doja Cat feels compelled to defend her "creative choices" on social media.

The 30-year-old rap star is well-known for reacting to online criticism, and Doja admits that she feels compelled to respond whenever she feels "threatened".

The Paint the Town Red hitmaker told Vogue magazine: "When I feel that I’m threatened, even though it may not be a threat at all, it rhymes with: You are failing.

"Look, I never do costume changes, but I feel like I have to defend my creative choices, and then I give those people power even though they could be anybody—they could have Cheeto dust on their fingers and have no job."

Despite this, Doja hopes she stops engaging in online spats by the time she reaches 50.

She said: "In life, you grow. We’ll see where I am when I’m 50, if I’m still on Twitter doing stuff like that, who knows? Hopefully not."
