Doja Cat Hurts Her LGBTQ+ Family In Viral Fan Moment Gone Bad

Doja Cat sparked outrage after a Pride interaction turned sour when she insulted a superfan’s shirt and hygiene, prompting backlash from LGBTQ+ supporters.

What are we gonna do with Doja Cat? Doja Cat, Doja Cat, Doja Cat. She has a seriously sketchy history when it comes to people, especially those living on the margins and folks blessed with melanin. Now don’t get it twisted, she’s a hitmaker. She’s got bars, can sing, rap and she’s got big records. Normally, that would be more than enough to ride out most controversies.

But this time? She might’ve messed up badly.

So here’s the deal: in a new video, Doja Cat is seen with a fan. Let me break it down. This wasn’t just any fan—this was a superfan. And they were at a Pride event—yeah, one of the many celebrations lighting up New York City. Apparently, Doja said she liked the shirt he was wearing. And what was the shirt? It was from his own clothing line. Naturally, she said she wanted one.

Only problem? He didn’t have any extras on him… except the one on his back. So what does he do? He takes it off and gives it to her. Then there was hugging, closeness, the whole nine. On camera, it looked like Doja was vibing with dude, even if he was a little touchy-feely.

But then—plot twist—after the cameras stopped rolling, things took a left turn. Doja tweeted a pretty nasty comment about his shirt and body odor. She literally called his shirt musty. Now, if you know what that means, it’s not cute. That’s a low blow, especially to someone who just gave you the shirt off their back. I can’t confirm his race, but he looked Latino to me.

So the T-shirt guy saw the tweet—along with millions of others—and decided to respond. And he had a lot to say. In short, he said he’d never try to harm Doja Cat in any way. He explained she seemed nothing but happy to see him. She complimented his shirt. She said she wanted one. He emphasized that he’s a huge fan and that Pride is a place where boundaries matter and are respected. He said he’d never want to make anyone uncomfortable.

It turned into a whole scene online.

Doja deleted the tweet—but not before it hit the blogs and headlines. There’s no word on whether she’s apologized yet, but I’ve got a word of advice for her: apologize. And not just with words. Shout out his clothing brand, acknowledge that maybe you were in a weird headspace and do what you can to fix it. Because what you don’t do is let someone bless you in public and then clown them behind their back in front of the whole world.

If it was that bad, you should’ve said something in the moment. If not, maybe just… keep quiet. No update as of now—but if something pops off, I’ll be back with the latest.
