On Sunday night, Doja Cat responded to backlash against her on an Instagram post after many of her fans cancelled her last week with the hashtag #DojaIsOverParty.
Doja was accused of joining Internet chatrooms with racist trolls and of writing a song three years ago “Dindu Nuffin”, that she never released. Some fans interpreted the song as the singer making fun of black victims of police brutality.
The musician was silent until Sunday night, when she responded with this message:
Needless to say, not everyone on Twitter responded well to the apology….

This is not the first time Doja Cat has been cancelled. Just two years ago, a Tweet resurfaced where she used the term f*ggot, which lead to widespread condemnation and a serious blow to her image. Amazingly, she was able to recover almost fully from the controversy and her latest album, Hot Pink, exceeded her previous album’s sales.
