After the release of her latest studio album, Vie, Doja Cat sat down with Angie Martinez for an in-depth interview — one that tackled both her artistic process and the recurring rumors about her allegedly worshiping the devil. The conversation gave fans a rare look into how the Grammy-winning artist handles controversy, criticism, and creativity.

Doja Cat Speaks on “Devil Worship” Rumors

Addressing a topic that has followed her online for years, Doja Cat opened up about how she copes with constant public scrutiny. When Martinez asked if she ever feels pressured to clear up false narratives, Doja responded candidly:

“I think about it a lot. I think about it almost every day,” she said. “Every single part — every pinpoint of when that’s happened to me down my career. It’s happened a lot, and I think it’s not for me to prove to people who don’t wish to listen.”

The artist went on to explain that instead of letting negativity consume her, she channels her emotions through her creativity:

“There are so many other great things happening that I can, instead of ruminating, express the way I feel about that thing with music, or with an outfit, or with a painting. Being creative is really a good outlet for me personally.”

On Learning to Speak Publicly

Doja Cat also shared that she’s still learning how to navigate interviews and public discussions:

“In the past, I couldn’t talk. I’m still learning how to talk. Sometimes I can talk really well, but there are times where if I have a camera on me or I’m distracted by something or had a bad day — all the things in the biome have to fall together correctly or else I can’t speak.”

Her honesty about the pressure of fame resonated with fans who’ve watched her career evolve from viral sensation to global superstar.

Social Media Reactions

Despite her thoughtful remarks, some online critics continued to push the “devil worship” narrative. Under clips shared by The Neighborhood Talk, users commented:

“A God-fearing woman would have cleared that up so fast! She basically answered the question lol.”

“Talking in circles — so basically yes.”

The polarized reactions highlight the internet’s ongoing fixation with celebrity image and symbolism — especially when artists like Doja Cat push creative boundaries.

Doja Cat released Vie on September 26, and the project debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, moving 57,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. The album features a single collaboration with SZA, alongside production from Jack Antonoff, George Daniel, Sounwave, and others.

The record reflects Doja’s continued experimentation with sound, visuals, and self-expression — themes that also permeate her public persona.
