Black Twitter’s cancel culture has claimed another high-profile victim. Doja Cat saw her fame and career tumble overnight after video leaked that showed her in an “alt-right” chat room using racial slurs with white supremacists.
The biracial singer, rapper and songwriter is best known for her hit song “Mooo!” that went viral in 2018.
Doja Cat was trending on Twitter.com on Friday after video leaked showing the 24-year-old in a chat room with a group of white supremacists and nazi sympathizers.
In the video, Doja is seen flirting with the white men. At one point she blurts out “ni**er” while the men laugh. Doja, whose mother is Jewish-American, seemed comfortable using racial slurs.
After the clip began doing the rounds online, fans also dug up one of her songs, believed to be from 2015, entitled “Dindu Nuffin” – which is known to be a racial slur for Black criminals, who claim to be innocent after facing police brutality.
She sings on the track: “How much nothing can a dindu do / If a dindu, dindu nothin’ / How much money could a dindu make / If a dindu did all the things that you wish to.”
Some believe that the song was targeted at Sandra Bland, a Black woman who died in police custody in 2015.
Accusations of her alleged history of racism have resulted in the hashtag #DojaIsOverParty, which quickly started trending on Twitter.
In a recent interview, Doja Cat said she has never met her father, Dumisani Dlamini, a South African actor, choreographer and film producer, best known for Sarafina!
