Doja Cat has shot to huge levels of fame, after dropping her hit 'Say So', and appearing on the Birds of Prey soundtrack with her party anthem, 'Boss Bitch'.

Several fans on YouTube left comments stating that her skin tone had been altered to look lighter, with one saying "oh dang why'd they make her white," and another writing "Melanin said: Ight imma head out."
Many others blamed the marketing team; not Doja, herself.
Doja Cat then responded via her Instagram Story to her 3.9 million followers, in two videos saying "If you're stupid as f***, you probably left a comment under this picture".
The promotional snap showed the 'Say So' hitmaker with long blonde hair, in a pink lacy top, donning some pink headphones.
She continued to say "How about I'm half-white, not entirely black? My skin gets very light when I don't tan.
"I was staying indoors a lot before that shoot. New f***ing subject, dumbasses," ended Doja Cat - whose real name is Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini.
