This past Friday (May 20), West Coast rapper Doja Cat made a regretful announcement via Instagram story.
Doja Cat Gets Real About Vaping
“Hi guys,” she typed to fans. “I wanted you to hear it from me first. Unfortunately I have to have surgery on my tonsils ASAP. The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take awhile due to swelling. That menas I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour. I feel horrible about this but can’t wait for this to heal and get back to making music and create an experience for y’all.”
Doja has had a particularly packed schedule in her career thus far, with an acclaimed Coachella and Billboard Music Award set being her latest workload. However, this upcoming tonsil surgery is all coming to a screeching halt. The news comes to a set of highly disappointed fans. The 26-year-old originally planned to share the stage with the Weeknd during his 3-month long After Hours Til Dawn Tour. In addition to this, Doja will be missing out on tomorrow’s Hangout Festival in Alabama and The Glastonbury Festival next month.
Troublesome Tonsils
The damaged tonsil hasn’t gone unaddressed by the “Like This” rapper already. Earlier this week, Doja Cat revealed on Twitter that vaping and some other bad habits may have worsened her throat. “Dr. just had to cut into my left tonsil,” she tweeted. “I had an abscess in it. My whole throat is fucked so i might have some bad news for yall coming soon. I was taking fuckin antibiotics but forgot that i was taking them and then i drank wine and was vaping all day long and then I started getting a nasty ass growth on my tonsil so they had to do surgery on it today” she continued to explain.
Following this warning, Doja tweeted extensively about her struggle with vaping addiction.
Obviously, Doja’s health is the most important thing. Still, this left many diehard fans feeling left high and dry.
Nonetheless, this unexpected break may be just what the ‘Hot Pink’ rapper needs. Since 2022 kicked off, Doja hasn’t been shy about her disdain for a life in the spotlight. She even went so far as to quit music before quickly restricting that statement.
With the upcoming months being all clear for her, hopefully, Doja can take this time to recalibrate and reflect. In the meantime, you can join social media to wish Doja Cat a speedy recovery.
