AceShowbiz - Doja Cat has fiercely denounced negative comments about her natural hair, calling out a persistent pattern of comparisons to "pubic hair, carpet, and sheep's wool." In an Instagram Live, the rapper expressed frustration over the insensitive remarks, stating, "We gotta move forward. Let's grow."
The controversy ignited after Doja shared a close-up image of her tight blond curls on the cover art for her upcoming album. This prompted a barrage of offensive comments, prompting Doja to disable comments on the post.
It's not the only criticism she's facing on social media, which led to her temporarily deactivating her Instagram account earlier this month, citing the hurtful treatment she received on the platform.
Doja emphasized that such comparisons are both childish and harmful, saying, "I need you guys to get on that...not comparing 4C hair textures to pubes." She urged her followers to be mindful of their language and behavior, as their words have a significant impact on others.
The rapper's outburst highlights the ongoing issue of hair-based discrimination, particularly against those with natural textures. 4C hair, which is characterized by its tight curl pattern, is often subjected to negative stereotypes and comparisons.
Doja Cat's stance against such prejudice serves as a reminder of the importance of valuing and celebrating diversity. Her refusal to tolerate disrespectful comments sends a powerful message about the need to respect all hair types.
