Doja Cat Expected To Take Over BET Awards

The Billboard-winning superstar, Doja Cat is so good at turning heads and catching the public’s attention! The star continues to shine in each award show. Doja leads the BET Award nominations with six nods.

Other than topping this year’s Billboard Music Awards, the 26-year-old achieved her first Grammy in April, where she won Best Pop Duo/Performance for “Kiss Me More” feat. SZA. Taraji P. Henson will host for a second time at the BET Awards. The collab was not only nominated for Best Collaboration but also Video of the Year. “Planet Her,” is also up for Album of the Year, and the artist is also a contender for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, Best Female R&B/Pop Artist, and BET Her for “Woman.”

Although Doja Cat seems to have an abundance of support from her millions of fans, there has been some controversy about what genre of music she resides in.

Since Doja Cats rise to success, many have been curious as to what kind of music the star releases. Many believe Doja should be called a rapper, others say her style is more Pop or Hip-Hop. While Wale praised her for being one of the best female rappers, Remy Ma doesn’t seem to agree.

According to an interview with Elle Magazine, The “Get Into It” artist considers herself Hip-Hop at heart. Someone who was raised listening to 90’s legends such as Busta Rhymes and Lauryn Hill, Doja says, “I’ve rapped since the beginning, and I really couldn’t even sing that well to begin with—I got a lot better,” she states. “I use my voice as a tool to create these worlds, and it’s fine if people think that I can’t rap.”

Doja Cat faces criticism all the time will continue to face competition in the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist category at the BET Awards as Cardi B, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, and Saweetie are all nominated as well. She also recently announced her new music video arriving this week! Check out a clip of “Vegas” (From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack ELVIS) below, which drops Friday, June 3rd.

Haters Inspire Doja Cat’s Next Album

Doja Cat intends to prove that she is a rapper at heart to her haters. Doubters have been attacking the Grammy winner ever since she put out her first album. First, the haters didn’t see her as a musician, and now Doja is also being questioned as a rapper. Doja Cat wants her next album to be a double album to quiet the outside noise and mostly feature her rapping skills.

The success of “Planet Her” Despite Haters’ Doubts

Doja Cat is still enjoying the success of her third studio album. The project was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year at the 64th Grammy. The album also went on to win the Top R&B Album at the Billboard Music Awards.

“Kiss Me More” ft. SZA, a single from Planet Her, won an American Music Award, a Grammy, and a VMA. As an artist, Doja Cat won Top R&B Artist and Top R&B Female Artist at the Billboard Music Awards and the Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist at the American Music Awards. The doubters have been proven wrong because Doja keeps winning.

Doja Cat’s Next Album Is For The Doubters

Planet Her had an R&B and Pop feel to it. The collective agrees with this, but Doja Cat wants her next album to be a rapper’s delight.

“I’ve rapped since the beginning, and I really couldn’t even sing that well, to begin with—I got a lot better.”

Doja Cat tells Elle that she grew up listening to Busta Rhymes and Lauryn Hill. It isn’t hard to see their influences in Doja Cat’s artistry. Doja Cat creates magnificent visuals through her fashion, music videos, live performances, and music. Her music pushes the boundaries just like the musicians she listened to. Haters dislike the limitations she goes against.

The Cat has had ideas about who she would like to work with on her next album. Complex reported that Doja would love to work with 9th Wonder and Jay Versace. The news came from Doja Cat herself during an IG Live session. Hopefully, these three will then develop something great for us to jam through our speakers.
