Doja Cat Felt Frustrated About Doing Things She Doesn't Want

It all started in November when Doja went on an Instagram Live rant to talk about how busy she gets with her career. The rapper lamented being occupied with numerous activities because of her fame.

Doja shared that she was tired of being booked to do interviews, fashion shoots, gigs, and other activities because she hated them but because she felt mandated to do those things. Then, she lashed out, saying:

I’m doing all of this sh-t that I don’t f--king want to do. I don’t wanna take f--king pictures… I love fashion… I love to dress up… I feel pressured to do sh-t like that. I don’t f--king wanna do that.

The "Woman" singer alleged that precious time was being taken away from her and declared that she hated it all. Before the Instagram Live outrage, Doja had shared similar sentiments in some since-deleted tweets, saying she was overworked and tired.

As we previously covered, the 26-year-old wrote, "I'm just tired and I don't want to do anything. I'm not happy. :/ I'm done saying yes to mother---ers cuz I can't even have a week to just chill."

Following her outrage, speculations surfaced that Doja hated her career and wanted to quit. There were also claims that the Los Angeles native was depressed by the success of her music.
