Doja Cat just thought about the disadvantages that come with fame and how she has to get “creative” every time to avoid public attention or paparazzi.
The Paint the city red hitmaker has admitted she misses the feeling of being able to go out in public without being recognised.
In a recent interview with American VogueDoja explained that while she doesn’t enjoy the attention, she is also reluctant to confront fans and paparazzi directly.
“It upsets me so much,” she told the outlet. “Should I go up to someone and say, ‘Stop filming me,’ and start swearing at him? No, I’m not going to do that.”
The 30-year-old continued: “I don’t want to do that. I think I would rather do it in a creative way.”
When asked how she comes up with ways to avoid being photographed or approached when she’s in public, Doja explained that she turns the ordeal into a “game.”
“Sometimes I purposefully try to look ugly,” Doja said of how she avoids unwanted attention. “I make a game of it.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the artist, whose real name is Amala Dlamini, stated that she finds public expectations of celebrities “fascinating”.
“It’s when you want to do things, just regular everyday things,” she explained.
“And people feel entitled to a photo, or your attention, or your smile, an attitude of yours. That’s the most fascinating part of it to me personally,” Doja Cat admitted about the expectations that come with fame.
