Doja Cat has been making headlines lately, but not for the reasons many of her fans would expect. While her new single "Attention" might be catchy and lyrically sharp, its reception has been a mixed bag of excitement and criticism, leaving many wondering what direction the pop superstar is headed in.
The "Nicki Minaj" Name Drop and the Cardi B Comparisons
Doja Cat's "Attention" has quickly become a trending topic, largely due to its direct references to other major female rappers, particularly Nicki Minaj.
The song's lyrics, "Man I've been humble, I'm tired of all the deprecation, just let me flex, br, let me pop ish, why she thinks she NY, she thinks she hot ish huh," have led to speculation that she's throwing shade at Cardi B, referencing her hit song "Hot Ish."
While Doja Cat has shut down rumors of a feud with Cardi B, she seems to be deliberately using these comparisons to her advantage.
