Doja Cat has been facing accusations of devil worship for months, and she’s now directly addressing these claims through her music in her newly released album, “Scarlett.” The album, which dropped on Friday, showcases Doja Cat responding to her critics with both defiance and humor across various tracks.
Doja Cat addresses devil rumors in new album Scarlett
In “F*** the Girls (FTG),” Doja Cat appears to cheekily acknowledge the rumors, rapping, “Said suck my d***, c***, t***, I’m yellin’ 666.” This bold lyric seems to be a direct response to the ongoing speculation about her involvement with devil-related imagery and themes.
However, in the track “Skull and Bones,” positioned in the middle of the album, Doja Cat offers a more direct statement seemingly refuting the “Mistress of Darkness” label that some have placed upon her. In the second verse, she raps, “Y’all been pushing ‘Satan this; and ‘Satan that’ My fans is yellin’, “Least she rich,” you need that pact/Looking like I got some things you hate I have And trust me, baby, God don’t play with hate like that.” Here, she not only dismisses the Satanic accusations but also credits a higher power amidst discussions surrounding her tattoos and success.
Doja Cat's bat back tattoo fuels devil worshipping allegations
The lyrics reference fan theories about her tattoos, particularly a striking bat tattoo on her back revealed in May and a previous tattoo of a mythical, monster-like figure. While some interpreted these tattoos as demonic, Doja Cat subtly redirects credit for her success to divine favor, especially noting her recent chart-topping hit, “Paint the Town Red.” This song notably ended a year-long hip-hop drought at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a milestone celebrated by music icon Dionne Warwick, who is unlikely to endorse anything associated with evil.
Regardless of public perception, Doja Cat is clearly focused on achieving the coveted #1 album spot with “Scarlett,” using the ongoing “Doja Cat Devil” controversy to fuel conversation and attention around her latest musical endeavor.
