Doja’s quarantine controversies have piled up since the pandemic began. On May 24, Doja took to Instagram to apologize after it was revealed that she was allegedly engaging in incel chat rooms making racist jokes. She also apologized for a 2015 song, “Dindu Nuffin,” named after a “pejorative term used to mock blacks that commit crimes, and the excuses that’s made for them.”
Fans attempted to cancel the singer with the #dojacatisoverparty hashtag after the song and video of her in the chat rooms resurfaced.
“I want to address what’s been happening on Twitter,” she wrote. “I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child. I shouldn’t have been on some of those chat room sites, but I personally have never been involved in any racist conversations. I’m sorry to everyone that I offended.”


She continued, “I’m a black woman. Half of my family is black from South Africa and I’m very proud of where I come from. As for the old song that’s resurfaced, it was in no way tied to anything outside of my own personal experience. It was written in response to people who often used that term to hurt me. I made an attempt to flip its meaning, but recognize that it was a bad decision to use in my music.
