Doja Cat first became popular in 2019
Born and raised in California, her mother was primarily responsible for her care when she was a child, as Doja Cat has revealed that her father was largely absent from her life.
She turned to music and performing as a creative outlet and means of self-expression, and ultimately, the young woman left high school when she was only 16 in order to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
It was around the time that she adopted the stage name of Doja Cat, explaining that she chose the name because she”was heavily addicted to weed and weed culture, so when I began rapping I thought of the word ‘doja’ and how it sounds like a girl’s name.”
In 2018, Doja Cat’s career really started to take off, with the success of her song “Mooo!” and the viral video that accompanied it. In the video, Doja Cat crams fries in her nose and generally acts outrageous and funny.
Critics and fans were impressed with the young artist’s out-there mentality, her witty lyrics, and her willingness to do whatever it took in order to be entertaining. 2019 saw her become an even bigger star, with her songs “Say So” and “Juicy” dominating the charts.
