Doja Cat is being honest with the public about the disappointment she felt over the comparisons fans made between her and Britney Spears.

The "Boss B--ch" crooner, who debuted her shaved head and eyebrows via social media last August, had online followers comparing her look to that of Spears, who also shaved her head in 2007 following a series of personal problems she faced.

Doja, in a recent interview, chastised her insensitive fans over their uncouth and unsolicited remarks.

In an interview with Variety, the "Freak" rapper didn't mince words when expressing her displeasure. She said, "It's so incredibly disrespectful for people to be minimizing what Britney went through and make a joke out of something that was very serious and a big deal in her life."

She further added, "Every time I see a comment like that, I can't compute what's happening, other than it's just an awful thing."

Shedding some light on her decision to shave her hair, Doja said, "When I shaved my eyebrows off and I shaved my head, I remember thinking, 'Get this s**t off of me,' because I needed to change something."

She continued, "I wasn't working out and wasn't really taking care of myself in the way that I wanted to. I was like, 'I need to do something,' so I just chopped it all off. And I could see the shape of my head. I could see my whole face. I can see my ears, now that I don't have a wig that's glued to my forehead."

The "Streets" rapper disclosed that she'd been wearing wigs for years but never liked the discomfort that came with it. In her words, "You wake up in the morning and it's in your mouth and in your eyes – it doesn't feel good. It's stressful if you want to work out, and then it slides off your head while you're in a public gym."

"So now you have another responsibility other than taking care of your body. So yeah, it's the best choice I've ever made, and I've never felt more beautiful," she declared.

Although the "Say So" hitmaker is loving her new bald look, supporters of the songstress, on the other hand, went berserk and made several innuendos after watching Doja shave off her hair.

Per The Blast, the rapper took her 25.1 million followers by surprise after going Live on Instagram to shave off her hair and catch up with her fans.

Glamming up for the dramatic session, she donned a multi-colored knitted sweater and a dramatic beat-up face consisting of blue eye shadow and full lashes. In the session, which was watched by more than 20,000 fans, the singer grabbed a razor to shave not only her hair but her eyebrows.
