Doja Cat

Doja Cat crashes into Fortnite as “Mother of Thorns” with red eyes and Jam Tracks

Doja Cat assumes the spine-tingling title of “Mother of Thorns” in 2025’s Fortnitemares, emerging as Fortnite’s latest NPC just in time for Halloween. Flanked by horror legends like Jason Voorhees and Ghostface, she arrives via a possessed plant monster and an attic floor crash, red eyes and a hissed “Boo!” in tow.

Her tracks “AAAHH MEN!” and “Gorgeous” now feature as Jam Tracks in-game. The appearance aligns with the release of her pop-oriented album Vie and precedes her Ma Vie World Tour kick-off this November in New Zealand.

Doja Cat trades bars for synths on pop-centric ‘Vie,’ SZA cameo included

Shedding the edge of Scarlet’s rap-focused palette, Doja Cat pivots with Vie—an unapologetically pop-anchored 15-track release colored by themes of lust, relational déjà vu, and synth-soaked drama. SZA makes her way into the frame as the album’s sole guest, reprising their tandem act from “Kiss Me More.”

The lead single “Jealous Type,” performed at the VMAs with Kenny G in tow, telegraphs the album’s 80s-pop allegiance. Produced by Jack Antonoff, Vie leans into effervescent sensuality while navigating new personal terrain behind the mic.

Doja Cat calls bloody, warped album art “perfect”—critics call it... something

After sharing the surreal, symbol-heavy artwork for her upcoming album "Vie," Doja Cat responds to online critiques with dry precision. Fans dissect the imagery—bloody elements, distorted facial features—questioning whether the iconography borders on grotesque or genius.

Doja brushes off the speculation, declaring the art “perfect” and resistant to change. Her comments land with cool detachment, hinting that she sees the uproar less as concern and more as performance art.

Doja Cat nixes country, reclaims pop-rap lane with Antonoff-produced "Vie"

Doja Cat, ever the genre-mixer, discloses she draws the line at country music—offering a firm “no” followed by laughter. Speaking with CBS Sunday Morning, she identifies herself as a rapper who makes pop music, distancing herself from the sonic detour of Scarlet.

Her upcoming album, Vie—largely shaped by Jack Antonoff—signals a return to her pop-rap hybrid. Though she once dismissed hits like “Say So” for being too mainstream, she now sees them with renewed appreciation, charting familiar terrain with “Jealous Type” already making it to No. 28.

Doja Cat skips features on pop-led ‘Vie,’ brings Kenny G to the VMAs instead

Doja Cat’s fifth album Vie lands with 15 tracks, carrying no features and including the lead single “Jealous Type,” which peaked at No. 3 on Hot Dance/Pop Songs and No. 28 on the Hot 100. Her VMAs performance of the track, shared with saxophonist Kenny G, preceded her win for best K-pop with “Born Again” alongside LISA and RAYE.

Described by the artist as a “pop-driven project,” Vie marks her debut collaboration with producer Jack Antonoff. The album arrives Sept. 26 via Kemosabe and RCA, followed by her SNL appearance with Bad Bunny hosting.
